Rachel Relish and I were in Seattle with the Wienermobile and had to take the ferry to Bainbridge Island!  The ferry ride to the Island was beautiful.  Seattle’s skyline was in the background with puffy Jumbo All Condensation clouds.  I was caught up in the atmosphere and Relish snapped a pic of me in a Titanic moment.  The only way to top off such a spectacular day would be with an eight pack of the finest Oscar Mayer hot dogs!

While in Oklahoma City I realized the Wienermobile had never been to an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game.  I took a little cruise down to Ford Center and waited in line at the ticket booth.  While in line the family in front of me told me they had an extra ticket.  I thought to myself, “Free Thunder Basketball!”.  Graciously, I accepted their offer and was thinking of a way to repay them.  I returned the generosity the only way I knew how, hot dogs!  By far the best snack for a basketball game and these bad boys were stuffed to the gills; ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and nacho cheese sauce.  We had a great time with some great food.  Below are some pictures I took while at the game, enjoy!

When the Wienermobile heard that the very first Wal-Mart was in Bentonville, AR we had to go see it.  Walton’s five and dime was the very first general store operated by Sam Walton which would later grow into Wal-Mart.  Today Walton’s five and dime in Bentonville, AR serves as Wal-Mart’s museum.  I had a bun of fun learning about Walmart’s rich history.  Below I included a photo of me shaking the hand of Sam Walton (Large cutout of Sam Walton)!!!

The Wienermobile stopped by a Fiesta Grocery store for one of their festivals.  It was a bun of fun!  They had a wide variety of animals in their petting zoo.  I befriended a camel which was a first for me.

At a parade in White Hall, AR is where I first encountered the National Guard Chopper float!  It was a very impressive bike.  I sat behind the handle bars of the chopper and imagined haulin’ buns, however reality set in when I noticed I was encased in a bullet proof glass trailer.

The Wienermobile stopped at the beautiful Kansas University.  While at the KU campus I met up with Big Jay the Universities mascot and he gave me a VIP tour.  I was able to see where all the behind the scene ‘mascot’ operations take place.  Big Jay also let me hold his offical game jersey and ride around on his gigantic tricycle.  Oversized modes of transportation are my favorite!!!

While driving the Wienermobile past the Toyota Center in Houston, TX I saw that Cirque du Soleil was in town.  I of course had to ketchup with the ticket office and then enjoyed the show.  During the show many of the performers were connected by arms and legs and it looked just like linked sausages!!!  It’s amazing the influence hot dogs have on the world.

Guac’ and I decided that the Wienermobile needed to lightly toast its bun.  So we took it to Galveston Beach, TX and got a little sun ourselves.  The white sand beaches were beautiful and a must stop if you relish beach time.
