Oklahoma University and The Oklahoma City National Memorial
Hey everyone today we went to Oklahoma University and The Oklahoma City National Memorial. We took a tour of OU's campus led by a senior named John Paul? (sp.) He did a great job and we got t-shirts from the visitors center. We went to Mr. Eugene, one of Ms. Trenkle's friends and he gave us hats and t-shirts We then went to a couple of OU stores and got some souvenirs. Afterwards we went to Which Wich?, a sandwich shop with some AWESOME sandwiches( Which Wich? means Which sandwich?). We met some Stuart Hobson Alumni named Kiera and Najah. I had a toasted ham and pineapple sandwich and it was GOOD. We then said our goodbyes and headed to the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The memorial was beautiful but the reason it was built is terrible. The memorial was built to honor those killed in the bombing of the Building. In the museum we saw a video that made me cry because it showed people finding out that their children were dead. It was very sad. We went to the gift shop and got stamps. We then went to the land rush monument that showed some Sooners rushing to land. We've yet to eat dinner but we're going to the Cracker Barrel. Tomorrow we're going to Wichita mountains and the Toy and Action figure museum. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how was it visiting the campus? Can you see yourself as a Sooner? How did the former Stuart Hobson students say they like it there? I can only imagine how it felt to be at the Oklahoma City Memorial, I remember that event vividly, I had just become a mother and was deeply saddened by the tragic event. I hope you are having fun. Love mommie!!
ReplyDeleteI remember very clearly when the Oklahoma City bombing was. I was in college and I remember watching TV and not really fully understanding what had just happened.
ReplyDeleteY'all are going to have to buy new luggage to bring home all of the t-shirts and hats that you've been given this week. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a very interesting day, mixed with fun, sadness and intense feelings.
