Van Meter Vacation Travel: Uncles,Aunts and Donuts!

At the end of day #3 we find ourselves at a hotel in Oklahoma City. We traveled only 3 hours today, but it was a full day. Mark drove us around Wichita, KS. to show us his old stomping grounds. We saw his family's house, his first apartment, his High School, as well as the building that used to house his first business. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane for him and in the end he treated all of us to a visit at his favorite donut shop; LAMAR'S! Yummy :0)

At lunch time, we met up with his Uncle Larry and Aunt Rose. Uncle Larry is a character, to say the least! A very lively old fellow. After lunch we were back on the interstate, to cross over from Kansas to Oklahoma. So far, Oklahoma looks much like Kansas; with prairies reaching for miles, and lots of cattle. You will find oil pumps in the strangest places here. Some are out among the cows, some are in town, crammed between two businesses. We will spend a few hours in Ok. City in the morning before leaving for yet another state.
