Drive to Phoenix - Oklahoma City

Our second night, we stayed in Oklahoma City. I have been taking student trips through Oklahoma City for years, but I have never had the time to stop and see the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The outdoor monument was very well-done and had a strong impact. It is nice that you can access the outdoor portion 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The museum was pretty intense with many of the displays reliving the moment of the explosion and the news coverage quickly following the event. Our time there was complicated by having two kids with us that were tired from a long day of driving so we quickly went through the museum.
