Oklahoma City

We made it to oklahoma last night and had breakfast at a country bumpkin restaurant called Deb's country kitchen. The food was pretty good but nothing really to write home about.

We did a lot of driving today and stopped in oklahoma city. The memorial for the oklahoma city bombing was beautiful and sad. They did a great job putting the memorial together. It was obviously really upsetting to see all the empty chairs for each person who died especially ones with birthday balloons and roses. I can't believe that happened 12 years ago, that seems so crazy to me. I think it's important to see memorials like these when you get the chance to. It reminds you that life is precious and you should live yours for all it is worth. It also reminds you about the ability of people to come together and persevere. Well that's enough of me going on about the memorial but it was very moving.

Besides the memorial, we also stopped at a Cheerokee trading post. Andrea bought some kick ass moccasin slippers and I bought some dream catchers. We also bought some rose rocks which as the name implies are rose shaped rocks. They are natural and very cool. They are the official rock of Oklahoma.

At the moment we are on the way to Memphis where we are gonna stay the night and hit up Graceland in the morning. It opens a little late than we'd like but oh well!! So that's it for today! :)

Love, lau
