We went to OKC last week and visited the OKC Memorial and part of Bricktown. Here is what it looked like on the way...

Our Route (http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff80/LadyRobyn/OKC%20road%20trip/?action=view&current=mapmap.jpg - broken link) (missed the turnoff at Chickasha, so we "detoured" through Elgin and Sterling! )

Beautiful Day for a drive...

Great pics, LR. I feel like I was actually there. I can't wait until all the "necessary" things are done with regard to our relocation, and we can start taking road trips like that. There's just soooo much to see!

I put my pictures of the OKC Memorial in a separate album and left them full size. It was particularly touching (and difficult) photographing the Tiles that the children had made...

If you miss the 81 cut-off on the Turnpike it is a Looooong way to the next exit, AND you have to pay a toll again.

great pics, but when you drove through Norman you should have taken a pic of that magnificent football stadium, Owen Field, where our National Champion Oklahoma Sooners play

really, great great pics, been a long time since I've been to Marlow.

Colleen, We have been here 4 years and we are just now getting "settled" enough to take a few road trips! (Hopefully it will be easier with the new job. )

We were on a tight schedule, and didn't get to explore off the Highway this time. Next time maybe!
Did you see the ones I posted awhile back when we drove through Marlow? I need to get back up there and wander the side-streets more... I just love the houses up there.
