We're a six person homeschooling family--complete with one 62 pound "puppy" and two grumpy part-Siamese cats-- on a cross-country pilgrimmage to a new brand new life (in the dead of winter). Come along for the ride! Is there a Starbucks near here?

Three States in One Day!

We started the morning in Texas.

We drove most of the day through Oklahoma...where the winds really do come sweeping down the plains (and onto the highway...yikes!)

We ended up in Joplin, Missouri.

En route, we were able to make a stopover at the Gleeson's, of the Gleeson Blogomerate fame, in OKC, a mere few blocks off of our route.

We were treated to warm, friendly hospitality and a yummy "Gleeson Goulash." I'll post the recipe over at momisright when I get it. It was kind of a shredded beef in almost a bbq sauce, with noodles. It was fantastic and was such a welcome break from our usual fast food and on the road sandwich lunches.

Their kids are just as adorable in real life as they are on-line! And Sean and Phoebe seemed like old friends.

Here are a few pics from our visit:

What a darling bunch of kids!

How was OKC? Did you see anything interesting? (If you did, you'll have to let me know, because in all 8 years of living there I never found much of interest... although the Cowboy Hall of Fame is decent... lol)

Their route should have taken them right by the mysterious blog building.
