Last weekend we decided it was time to go see some of the sights of Oklahoma. We headed to Oklahoma City to
Bricktown. It's the old part of Oklahoma City that has been refurbished and is now a tourist attraction. It was pretty interesting and there was
a lot we didn't go see, maybe that will be another weekend.
We started out our tour with a stop at the baseball stadium. Not a major league team but it was still cool to go inside and see the field.
We took the water taxi which actually used to be a road once upon a time. This was
Kordale's first official boat ride. (sorry grandpa, you missed the boat on that one..
LOL)
We had a small snack at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill
Oklahoma is known for the great land race that took place. In fact,
Stillwater is where the race actually began.
We passed by the Sonic Headquarters. We may have to go back and get a route 44 drink at the sit in Sonic another day.
Stillwater was also the first to have a drive-in Sonic...we go there A LOT!
We went to the Oklahoma City Memorial. That is where in 1995 the building was bombed and several
hundred people were killed. This is the only wall that was still standing.
They have built a huge memorial on this site and placed chairs to indicate those who were killed and where they were in the building.
We of course, had to take advantage of those season passes we bought way back when we first got to Oklahoma and stop at the amusement park.
Kordale got his first ride on the carousel. He wasn't to excited about it at first, but once he found the colorful lights and heard the music he enjoyed it more.
The girls and I got in a few rides on the
roller coasters and had some good laughs.
