I travel through there every so often on business. Fell in love with the drive up 35.

We went to the 45th Infantry Fighter Museum, the Science Museum, Celebration Station, the Sam Noble Museum, the Zoo, and the Oklahoma City Memorial. Had an amazing time.

The folks who put together the Oklahoma City Memorial did it right. Heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, patriotic, very spiritual. My little guy didn't understand, but my older two (who know all about 9-11 and what happened to our country) learned about OKC.

They were running around outside until my son mentioned "the little chairs." I explained that they represented all the children who died, too. My older two were stunned that kids had died, as well. As we finished walking the pavillion, my daughter grabbed my hand, we both had tears in our eyes, and she said, "Mom, there were lots of little chairs."

I'll never forget it.
