Comfort Inn and Suites in OKC. Here’s one we’d never had happen: we unloaded the car onto a trolley. I went to park the car and Justin headed to our room. There was someone in our room! He scrambled leaving his baseball cap and his still warm cup’a’noodles. They ungraded us to a different room — how weird. Goodness!!!
We went to the Oklahoma City Natl Memorial & Museum at the Murray Federal Building. Very somber. And very impactful.
Next stop was the Oklahoma capital bldg. Spectacular. Simply spectacular. They’ve done a magnificent job of restoration. No, it’s not as tall as Texas, but in the same style. And, yes, they have their own working oil rig on the capital grounds.
We didn’t make it to the stockyards and the auctions are open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays so we will need to come back. But we did take time to enjoy a late lunch at Bedlams BBQ — yes, this was a five star joint.
Then on to the Natl Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum where we spent too much time in the boot display before we were on the road toward Kansas City.
When I lived in Yokosuka, people who didn’t travel to Bali or Beijing or Seoul for Christmas or Easter often said they were going on the “three city tour” referring to Yokohama, Yokosuka and Hayama. This trip was inspired by that three city tour… we started in Texas City, then Oklahoma City and now Kansas City. We will also work in Missouri City and maybe even Iowa City as we find our way back to Green Bay. For tonight we slept in Emporia, Kansas. Just a stop in the road for us on our journey north.
