The last few days of the trip....went well sorta, Cool

We left Sante Fe and our aim was Oklahoma City. As we passed through Texas I spotted this HUGE cross on the side of route 40. As we are driving by, Denise spots the Stations of the cross....so we pull off the exit to find Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ The cross was 190 feet tall and the stations were life size. This was a really cool place. Check out the link. BTW One guy had this built....and paid for it himself..

We then hit OC.....we started out by goinb to the Oklahoma City National Memorial I of course knew about the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. What I did not know is how GREAT the memorial and museum was. We spent 2-3 hours going through the place. It was heart wrenching to see how this terroriust act effected so many lives.

The last thing we did was rock climbing.....or should I say Chris and Shelby climbed and I was the ?ballet? that is the person who holds the ropes and then adjusts them to let them down. Denise's arm was acting up. Taylor was sick and Jessica is afraid of heights.....so it was just shelb and Chris. They bulit these rock climbing wals inside old grain bins. There were 5 levels. Chris got to level 2 and Shelby climbed a 3. They went up about 50-60 feet. They loved it.

When that was through...we ate at El Chico...the best mexican food in the states...period. We then drove home.......more to that story......
