The Drive to Canton and the Reunion
Day 1: Drive from Berryville Arkansas to Canton, Texas.  It was an 8 hour drive...pretty good drive and easy.  The kids watched movies on their new car DVD players.Image

Kaela and Gehrett enjoyed the ride!

When driving through Oklahoma the temperature was 98 degrees!  The Airstream did great and the only trouble we had was the topper that Aaron bought to put on the truck kept opening.  When we got here to Canton, we arrived at the Rock High Ranch, which is where Aaron's 20 year reunion was held.  He got to see his friends from school, especially Alan, his best friend from school.  Pictured below on the right is Alan and his wife.

The airstream looked so pretty under the lights...

We are almost ready...we have new tires on the 1960 Airstream, bearings packed, inside cleaned, new tile floors, bed matress in there, cots, new curtains thanks to my mom, tiled countertops, freshly painted inside and air conditioner installed. We are trying to be thoughtful with packing but have a ways to go with that.

What a great beginning for your adventure! Looks like you had a good time seeing your old buds, Aaron. Allan hasn't changed.....still a handsome devil.
Love the pic of the Airstream. Must be so much fun staying in it!
Kaela and Gehrett had a blast at the water park and resort, I see. Unbelievable that Canton actually has a water park. Years ago the talk was that there was going to be a Disney Land built on the Van side of I-20. At least there's something there now for the kids.
Have fun in LeMark. Say hi to Grandma and Grandma and Karen and Jeanette from me.
Love y'all...........continued happy trails!

Looks like y'all got away from the Texas coast just in time! They're getting pounded right now. Hope your family is safe and sound, Chrystal.
I'm anxious to hear about Carlsbad Cavern.
Hope you're enjoying taking the pictures as much as I'm enjoying looking at them.
Take care and enjoy the beautiful desert.
