Our first two nights, we stayed at Eisenhower State Park. The folks toured Eisenhower's birth home. He was actually born in the house because back then women had babies at home. His folks didn't own the house, but rented it. The furnishings in the house didn't belong to the family because many other families lived there after he left. He didn't remember living there because he left as a small child and moved to Abilene, KS.

Next, we drove into Oklahoma. We stayed at Twin Bridges @ Grand Lake State Park. We stayed in the part of the park that was near a boat launch. We thought it would be fun to watch the boats. There were a lot of snow geese in the water.

That evening we drove into Miami, OK to eat at a restaurant that has been around since the 1960's. It is called Ku Ku Burger. The burgers were good and the fried mushrooms were even better according to Mom. I am not allowed to eat mushrooms, so I can't tell you if they are good.

The next day, we drove to Grandma's house where we stayed for 11 days. We did geocashing, attended a wedding and we ate way too much food. I enjoyed spreading out on Grandma's big rug.
