About 'city of tuscaloosa'|Tuscaloosa - Shades of Oklahoma City








               It               was               the               summer               of               2005.

My               children               were               17,               14               and               12.

I               had               very               little               extra               money,               but               I               had               friends               in               Texas               and               New               Mexico               who               suggested               we               come               visit.

A               cross               country               trip!

We'd               drive               most               of               the               day,               stay               at               cheap               hotels,               and               spend               time               with               friends.

I               got               a               ton               of               maps               and               that               was               it               -               we               were               doing               it!
               The               plan               was:               Harrisonburg,               VA               -               to               visit               James               Madison               University               (my               daughter               didn't               like               it);               Chattanooga,               TN;               Baton               Rouge,               LA;               College               Station,               TX;               Tijeras,               NM;               Colorado               Springs,               CO;               Kansas               City,               MO;               Indianapolis,               IN;               and               home               to               Pennsylvania.
               Now,               July               is               hot,               and               it's               really               hot               in               the               south.

But               I               refused               to               turn               on               the               air               conditioning               in               the               car.

(It               was               the               summer               gas               prices               would               never               be               the               same.)               When               we               stopped               in               Tuscaloosa               to               eat               lunch,               we               were               nasty.

Sweating,               and               mean.

Being               out               in               the               sun               felt               like               being               broiled               in               an               oven.

When               we               got               back               in               the               car,               I               turned               on               the               air,               and               peace               overtook               us.
               We               saw               Baton               Rouge               only               weeks               before               Katrina               hit               (that               always               seemed               eery               to               me               later).
               My               friends               took               us               on               a               tour               of               the               best               cities               in               Texas,               Austin               and               San               Antonio.

A               little               flat,               but               other               than               that,               we               loved               the               cowboy               hats               and               boots.
               My               NM               friends               took               us               on               a               tour               of               Albuquerque,               Santa               Fe,               and               Los               Alamos.

We               saw               Tinkertown               Museum,               where               trinkets               and               old               glass               bottles,               cans,               you               name               it,               made               a               place               to               walk               through               and               view               art.

Nearby,               the               Sandia               Mountains               were               an               awesome               sight               to               behold.

Mountains               upon               mountains.
               Our               last               major               stop               was               Colorado               Springs,               and               we               walked               among               the               Garden               of               the               Gods.

Looking               up               at               the               rocks               surrounding               us,               the               sun               formed               a               halo               radiating               behind               them,               and               I               understood               the               name.

We               headed               back               east               through               Kansas               (where               there               is               a               whole               lot               of               nothing               for               miles               on               end),               Missouri               (we               stopped               to               see               the               Gateway               Arch               -               humungous!),               Indiana,               Ohio,               and               finally,               Pennsylvania.
               We               were               ready               for               it               to               be               over               when               it               was,               but               I               felt               satisfied               my               children               had               experienced               our               scenic               and               fascinating               country.
