Arkansas for graduation

Well sorry it has been a while since I posted. A lot of things are finally changing and getting better. It has been a while since I have had some funny stuff to chat about.
We are in Arkansas right now for Rich's oldest son Jason's graduation. Tomorrow (05/23/2008) he will be a high school graduate. We are so excited for this to happen. Rich is so proud right now. I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Let me tell you about our trip here from Walla walla. We decided to drive the motor home (the bus) because it was the same price maybe even a little cheaper than flying and staying in a nasty hotel. Well we left Thursday afternoon around 3. We started driving and the roads through Idaho were ridiculous. Too many ruts and too many bumps. It was hard work. (May I remind you that this is our fist trip in the bus and neither one of us has ever driven anything this big.) So it was quite adventurous. We made it to my moms at about 2 in the morning. We went to bed and got up the next day and decided to spend the day with my family and played some horseshoes and drank some beers. The next morning we left around 11 and headed towards Wyoming. There was tons of construction and lots of wind, which is tons of fun in the tall motor home. We made it to Laramie, WY by seven in the evening. We camped in a truck stop parking lot.
We got up the next morning and headed into Colorado. The roads right outside of Denver were ridiculous. They were so bumpy that we wanted to throw up. Finally we got on a new road after 25 miles of that and it all calmed down for a while. We drove into Salina, Kansas that evening (Sunday). We got up the next morning around 9 and spent an hour or so gasing up and washing bugs off the window. We headed out sometime after 10. We finished KS and headed into Oklahoma. We finally got into Russellville, Arkansas at around 8 at night on Monday.
Other things that happened. Our tail light almost fell off luckily we caught it before it was gone and got it screwed back on. One of our fridge doors fell off the hinges. We also had some other little things happen because of how bumpy it was.
We took the bus to the shop yesterday (Wednesday). One shop fixed half the problems and then we had to drive five miles to another shop to fix the rest of them. Luckily we found places that would help us out in this tiny town.
Arkansas sucks if anyone is wondering. I get sick everytime I eat at a restraunt. People think the food is good and it just isn't, but we try to grin and bare it while we are here.
Sorry this is long I will try to write more and so I can write smaller sections.
Love ya
Jacci and Rich
