Texas-Oklamhoma-Missouri

All stops for today's adventure weren't far off the beaten path and we made quick work of them as we were eager to get to Branson, Missouri for our Thanksgiving stay.

Up first was a trip to Cadillac Ranch where a gentleman has placed cars on his ranch to be spray painted. We did not buy spray paint but we had enough fun trekking out to the cars and avoiding stares from nearby cows.

Got it.



Next "stop" was a drive by the Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere.


Then the former World's Largest McDonald's in Oklahoma.

This picture doesn't do a very good job of showing how the McDonald's building spans across both sides of the interstate.

Our last stop was in Joplin, Missouri which is where Sarah's grandfather's parents' parents are buried. It was starting to look a little cloudy when we arrived at the cemetery and no one was there to give us an idea of where to look. After 20 minutes or so, lightening appeared and we ran to the car, narrowly missing the downpour. We were going to to wait out the rain but clear skies were nowhere to be seen so we headed on toward Branson. We turned on the radio in time to hear that we were leaving tornadoes. Yay.
