My Thanksgiving Trip?

What was the reason for going to Miami, Oklahoma? I remember we didn't get a chance to go on the Gateway Arch in St. Louis in 2006, Unfortunate You just got your chance in 2007. :( (That's not fair!!)

Miami is the halfway mark for the whole trip.

Near Miami is the world's biggest McDonalds. :)

We almost didn't make it up the Arch.

We went on Friday, but the next available ride up the Arch was 4 hours ahead and we had other plans. So, we got tickets for the next morning and left. We then returned the next morning and hitched a ride to the top! :)

Sorry...

I wanted to do my own thing, but time didn't permit it.

This was my first full visit to St. Louis since 1993.

When I say "full visit", I mean visiting my mom's family and dad's family... and going out with the whole family everywhere.

I went to St. Louis with my ex-girlfriend in 2001 and 2002. We only met with my mom's family for a couple days. We also didn't do much either.

I went to St. Louis with my AD buddies in 2006, but that wasn't related to Thanksgiving.

This year was a new experience for me. In 1993, there were only 4 cousins (out of over 20) who already graduated from high school... one of them had a kid. I was next in line to graduate from high school. Now, they're all already done with high school and more than half of them have at least 2 kids... some with at least 4 kids.

In 1993, they were so little that they always tugged on my pants to get my attention. Now, they simply tap my shoulder and say, "Wanna play a game of pool or ping pong?"
 
That explains it...you are very welcome to visit us next time you drive thru Oklahoma. We live near Tulsa. Let me know. :) The world's biggest McDonald's is in Vinita, Oklahoma. We stopped there many times. Did you visit the world's biggest McDonald's? The movie 'Twister' was also made in Vinita, Oklahoma.
