Coming home to Oklahoma from Florida, you go through these awesome tunnels. I say awesome and guess they are, but maybe only to the passenger. I was better prepared for these tunnels coming back than I was going to Florida. Roomie just wanted to fly through them as fast as possible, something about claustrophobia or something? Poor Roomie, she’s afraid of so many things.
Hold your breath! We’re goin’ in! Back to Oklahoma we go. The tunnels just symbolize being home or closer to home. I miss home, but these tunnels are really something to see. Especially if you’re not used to seeing things like this back in your home state.
What happens when you have a car wreck inside the tunnel? Well that was one thought that crossed my mind while we were driving through. I’m thrilled we came out on the other side without having a wreck of any kind.
I see light! There’s light at the end of the tunnel. The saying is actually true. I believe this is the very first time I’ve been through an extremely long tunnel like this one. It honestly was sort of scary coming out because we had a hill to climb and it made you think that you were going to hit the top of the tunnel. I mean we didn’t, it just appeared that way. I’m very very ready to get home. Can you tell?
Tommy Boy looks confused, doesn’t he? Well, he’s not. I promise. He actually changes colors according to if it’s daylight or not and even when you’re underground! He looks sort of cool being underground and all.
….and we’re out! We came out of the tunnel with flying colors. Making it out alive with Roomie still driving. This is a huge accomplishment, making it out of the tunnel. We’re that much closer to home, to sleeping in our own beds and to seeing Ellie.
