We arrived in Oklahoma City today around 1:30. We finally solved a question we had last year while driving across Texas two times. Where were all the beef cattle??? We found them in Oklahoma. It is very nice to drive along and see so many scattered about.
After setting up the trailer we took off for the "Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum". It was very touching. Note the pictures - The monumental gates as you enter the empty chair display each have a time stamped on them. 9:01 and 9:03, this is the time on each side of the bombing. The bombing took place at 9:02 on April 19, 1995.
There is 168 empty chairs symbolizing a life lost. Of that 168 chairs, there is 19 little chairs for the children that was lost. Then we went into the museum, it starts out with a heading. "A day like any other day". Then they walk you through the events and sounds. Even through we read and heard on TV what happened, it is really different reliving it through their eyes.
Any of you that gets a chance to view this scene, it is really worth the visit.
