January 2011 random

Jeff had been itching to take a road trip for months so since my dad was in town and could watch the boys, we took a little trip on New Years Eve. We had no plan, we just drove southeast since we had not seen that part of the state. We didn't take any interstates, only highways and it was neat to see the little towns and scenery. We kept saying we couldn't imagine living so far out in the country. We stopped for lunch at a burger place in McAlester's called What About Bob's just because it had great online reviews (I <3 my iPhone!). Turned out to be fantastic onion burgers. We tried to find a museum or something cool to do there with no luck so we drove on to Talahina where they have a scenic drive through the mountains that goes from there to Mina Arkansas so they named it the Talimina Drive. We stopped for ice cream at an old time soda fountain place then drove the 60 mile scenic route. It's supposed to be really pretty in fall with the colorful leaves but with no leaves you could see really far. We lucked out and found a hotel room with a jacuzzi suite in Van Buren, AR (I thought it was funny since I was born in Van Buren, IN). Once again the iPhone was handy! The jacuzzi was broke though so that was a bummer. We went to dinner and went to bed before midnight so it was a relaxing, low key New Year's Eve. We took our time driving home the next day and enjoyed not cleaning up poop or listening screaming kids. We missed our little monsters though and was glad to come home. They had a blast with Grandpa Mayhle and Mimi too.

Jorden got an OU chair for Christmas so he's decked out in Sooner stuff and has the remote while lounging of course
