Day 2: Rain and More Rain

Today we drove north through Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. It rained almost the entire day. Louisiana started to curl into hills as we neared Texas. The squat mounds were purple with flowers and topped with fluffy shrubs every shade of green. They made me hungry for cupcakes. The highway system in Dallas towers and twists above the roads like a roller coaster. We passed into Oklahoma sometime in late afternoon. The sun peeked through the clouds and tiger striped the prairie. The rolling hills were blonde with dry grass. Next month, millions of flowers will color the sprawling land like splattered paint.

We made it to Oklahoma City!
