yesterday John and i found our way to the tulsa aquarium. I say found our way, because every time we get on the freeway, or road for that matter, we go the wrong way, have to turn around, back track, and go the other direction. there are a couple places we can get to without getting lost, but for the most part, this is our routine. when we get verbal directions, john doesnt listen, cus i am the navigator. I AM DIRECTIONALLY IMPAIRED AND HE KNOWS IT! now he says next time i tell him to go in one direction, he is gonna go in the other.
so after back tracking a couple times, we finally found the aquaruim. it was nice. not as nice as i thought it would be, but it was cool. i guess coming from a coastal state, i just expect more. it took us a few hours to stroll through it though, so it took up some time.
When we left, we called alex and asked how to get to this littel burger place. i knew how to get to the turnoff, but not which way to turn off the freeway. you guessed it. turn around and go the other direction. we did find it, ate and got home to relax some more in front of the tube.
while we were in the aquarium, alex called and told me garth brooks was in the shop where he works. he is a car salesman and garth was shopping for one. brb. gotta go to breakfast. i will be back to finish this in a bit.
ok, im back. anyway, so they all got their picture taken with him and alex sent me a copy. it is an attachement to an email, and i have to transfer it to my document/picture file. but alex is walking on air right now. garth is his favorite. all his friends have met him, and finally he did. garth lives in this area and shows up all aver town i guess, just like a regular guy.
today we are going to find this little place that is an old fashioned soda fountain. we went to one i kentucky when we visited there, and it was really cool. later on we are having dinner with johns cousin that lives here. she is really nice and i am looking forward to this.
well, i better get this posted and look up the address for the soda fountain. maybe we wont get lost, but we probably will. have a great day.
Actually, it doesn't sound like you and John are ever really lost, just not quite sure where you are. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeing directionally challenged myself, I can totally relate. I'm getting better about it - but only if I have a map - I have to see it - hearing it just doesn't work. I know what you mean about aquariums (Ours has an Australian Coral Reef exhibit among other things and a rainforest with sloths at the top, for example)- but I guess for those folks it's pretty cool to see any sort of ocean life at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd it does sound like a great trip - so I guess there are things to do in Tulsa after all.
OMG...GARTH??? Tell Alex that I am soooooo jealous right now! Glad you all had a great day with the fishies :) (Lu goes off to pout about not seeing Garth!)
ReplyDeleteI put up the pic in an album all by itself. so freaking cool
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool about Garth. Did he end up buying a car from Alex too? Glad you enjoyed the aquarium. I love going to aquariums. We have one here in Galveston that is rather nice, but we haven't been in years. I always find them so interesting and calming though. I can spend all day in one. Hope you find the soda fountain! Enjoy your day! :)
ReplyDeleteI had to peek at Garth again, and he's such a nice guy to take a group picture..should boost sales. Saturn dealer? Anywho, about directions.....I was always the navigator when we went on road trips, sometimes he'd let me drive..but if he said "turn left" I would always go right. I need those little kid sneakers with LEFT and RIGHT on them LOL. Thank you for the updates on your trip, it's almost like being there, have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteGarth brookes! Cool! Was he buying a used car or a new one? Do tell!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and John are getting around and having a great time! Don't even get me started on men and directions! Jeezish!
