SEPT. 12-14 O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!!!!!A whirlwind trip to the great state of OK! Dave and I were privileged to travel in Kathleen's new luxury vehicle for a quick trip to the Sooner state. Stayed at the Bricktown Hotel which had a 24/7 shuttle to and from the Bricktown entertainment district. (very nice amenity) Listened to a 70+ yr old man sing the blues at the Biting Sow. (His harmonica playing was outstanding!) Buckets of beer $6.00. Need I say more?
Sat was a big tourist day. Went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. What an amazing place! We spent over 3 hrs there and could have spent a few more. I met a lady there who had lost here daughter and granddaughter in the bombing. After reading accounts of the survivors and/or families, it was even more sobering to meet someone who's life was so immediately touched by this senseless tragedy. I definitely recommend a trip to OKC just to visit the memorial.
After that, we were ready for something a little more light-hearted. Burritos, margaritas and then off to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum! Got to see an old western town, the grave of Abilene the long-horned steer,and sculptures of Abe Lincoln, John Wayne (of course), and Buffalo Bill. Plus, we pressed pennies and we were bronco busters.
Time for a nap and some pasta. What could make the day any better? Well, we were privileged to witness the parade of the shortest skirts known to man. All I can say is Carli will not be attending any universities or colleges in this great state. That's enough for this post. If I tell you everything, you won't need to go. Why ruin the suprise!! I can't wait to go again. Remember, COWBOY UP!!!

Looks like you had a good time.
Great tribute to the folks in Oklahoma City for the pride they have in their history and the compassion they have for those who lost their lives in such a terrible event. Mom
