Days Six and Seven - Dallas TX and Oklahoma City

Stop over last night was in Dallas TX for an overnight at my cousin Michael's. (No internet connection there for me.) A nice restful stop. We didn't do any sightseeing, but it may have been a blessing in disguise. I got my first restful night of sleep. The trip to Oklahoma City wasn't all that long today.

I'm having trouble with internet connections here at the hotel today and hoping tomorrow will have it all worked out. But for now .... 6:00 p.m. Central time, here's the latest update of the trip.


This afternoon we went to the site of the Federal building that was bombed April 19, 1995. Goodness. I never expected to react the way I did. It was overwhelming. VERY emotional. 168 innocent people lost their lives to an act of domestic terrorism that day; 19 of them small children. The outside memorial chairs were beautifully done in memory of those individuals. Afterward we went inside to the museum. Several times I wanted to leave the exhibit because it was almost more than I could endure but I walked a little faster and made my way through.

I'm in the hotel lobby at the moment because I'm having trouble getting online in the room. I'll sign back on tomorrow to relay what we did tonight ... where we dined. Tomorrow I think we're going to the Cowboy Museum and Hall of Fame.
