Day 1 cont..

After setting up the camper, and letting the rain stop we went out to explore OK City...WOW! First stop was the Oklahoma City National Memorial, the site of the bombing of the federal building in 1995. I had no idea that the visit would be so moving....an awesome site. We went back at night to get a few night shots as well. Posted 2 pictures--one of the wall where visitors have left mementos and the other one of my night shots. Each lit chair represents one of the victims. Very moving. We also stumbled on an area of town called Heritage Hills...unbelievable!! Street after street of beautiful, huge, restored homes. I have never seen so many in one place before. Then we went down to Brick town to eat dinner and look around. Brick town, so called because all the old buildings are built out of red brick and have withstood the test of time and nature. Most were built right after the OK land rush, and now are the locations of restuarants, shops, etc. A fun place to go. Tired after a long day, but I am going to try to post 2 pictures of the Memorial...hope I can do it! on to Kansas tomorrow! goodnight from the McC Road Trip, where the women are strong, the men are handsome and the children are all above average, but at home!
