Our first night in the motorhome was good and bad. The bed was wonderful! After sleeping on an air mattress at Heather's for also a month, this new pillow top mattress was heaven. As we dozed off to sleep it started raining. At first we thought the gentle drops on the roof were delightful. Then it started to pour! It was so loud we couldn't sleep and it even drowned out the TV. We did find out that we were water tight though and that was good to know. In the middle of the night we were sure we would be staying in Amarillo another day, as we didn't want our first day of driving to be in a downpour but when we awoke in the morning the rain had stopped.
Bob had a concern about our motorhome registration. It had Robert Miller instead of Robert Gilmore and he felt we needed to go back to the register's office before we left town. We decided to have breakfast then make a trip into town before taking off. I had a Jimmy Dean Biscuit sandwich and Bob had cereal. Or tried to have cereal:) No spoon! This was the first of many things that we found we needed only when the event came up. Anyway, Bob had a biscuit sandwich with me and we headed out.
The city's register's office is the old Santa Fe Building, which was build in the1930's. It is one of the tallest buildings in town and very beautiful. I took a few pictures. This is the door way. It has a revolving door. You then enter into a beautiful lobby with cooper ceilings and brass elevator doors. This is a shot of the ceiling tile! More beautiful than it appears here and the elevator doors. Turned out that Robert Miller was the tax collector. His name was supposed to be on the registration.
On our way home we saw horses all over town. Chicago has there cows and Amarillo has it's horses.
Got a little lost finding the Wichita Falls RV Park , but we made it by 4:00 p.m.
