Vacation '00

	We left a little after 6PM on the 4th of July. It was a long drive, but we got to see fireworks on the way. We got to Springfield just after midnight, and went straight to bed.
		The next day Tracy cooked on the grill. He made some really good burgers. He is the grill master of Springfield. He may be the best grill cook in all of Missouri.
	After we ate, Tracy parcticed his canoe technique. He is also a canoe master. He makes it looks so easy. He can paddle though rapids and never spill a drop of beer.
		On Wednesday we left for Arkansas. It took a long time to get there because of the slow traffic. We stayed at the Gordon motel. They have the smallest bathrooms I've ever seen. If you stand up you'll wipe your ass on the wall. We made about a hundred trips to the ice machine to ice down the beer, and still had some two days later.
	Later we went down the road a few miles to the observation tower. The upper part was blocked off, but we went on up anyway. What a view! Tracy is handing me something is this picture, but I don't remember what it was.
		Tracy found a cool ride at the tower. He couldn't stay on for 8 seconds though.
	The next day we got up and went on our canoe trip. It was the fun part of the whole trip. It lasted 5 hours, and the sun was on us all day. We drank a lot of beer and had a lot of fun. We were going to swim more but we got to the end too soon. I didn't get to take the camera, so I don't have any pictures. I did get one of tracy's foot after being burnt, though.
		On the way back we stopped at the cave. It was nice and cool. At this particular cave you actually go into two caves. The caves are small, and one has some damage, but It's a cave if you just like caves like I do. Outside the gift shop there was a bat that has hung on the rafters for a long time.
	Tony is trying to look like Billy Idol these days.
		On friday we went to some computer stores and bought some used parts to upgrade Tony's computer.
	I'm here for my 2PM appointment with Mr. Stevens.

Here are my pictures from my 1999 vacation.
