From Here to There

Christmas Day we headed to our traditional vacation spot, Antalya and the Mediterranean Sea. About 1/2 way through the 8 hour drive, there is a little town with not much else except a McDonald's. Guess where we stopped for lunch?

They had added a bonus 'birthday room' with a climbing center. Big Ben was in there with the best of them. Bless his heart. He wanted to ascend the steps to the top but they were as tall as he is. He speaks nary a word, so to each Turk that came and oohed and aahed over him, he did the sign language for "please" begging everyone to hoist him up to the top of it.

So, everyone ate, played, went to the bathroom, washed hands, jumped back in the car...and then went from civilization (McDonald's playland) to this...in just a few hours.
