Oklahoma City.. day 2

cool morning again today.  about 34 degs but it got up to 62 and was very sunny. 

We headed out this morning to tour the outer limits of OK City.  Our first stop was for gas..

We went to Tinker AFB, well actually we did not go into the Base but just outside of it is an airpark.

  1. You have seen a lot more than we did in our only visit to Oklahoma City. We, too, saw the Memorial (very moving) and the Cowboy Museum. You two really know how to see everything between Wisconsin and Santa Ana!

    1. Carol, we try to see as much as we can in our limited time in each area. it does take a lot of planning, internet searches and lots of brochures.. most times we do pretty good but other times we really bomb out..
