Day 3

Went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial this morning. Its really quite a beautiful place. Since it was Sunday, the museum wasn't open in the morning, but we got to see the reflecting pool, the chairs, the gates, the Survivor Tree, etc. We then headed to Elk City and the National Route 66 Museum. We had to wait around for it to open so we had some bad fast food Mexican at the Taco Factory and then played at a playground for a while. The Museum was one of those places just filled with whatever collections they could find - Rodeo, minature sewing machines, native american arrowheads, old farm tools, Popeye stuff, army uniforms, etc., etc., etc. Stopped at the Big Texan Restaurant and Gift Shop in Amarillo. (Home of the free 72 oz. steak!) The painted the cadillacs at Cadillac Ranch. Drove on to Santa Rosa, NM. If you are ever here, skip the Silver Moon Restaurant. But the La Quinta here is much nicer than the OKC one. Tomorrow will be Albequerque and Painted Forest and Petrified Desert and on to Flagstaff. I've been posting lots of pictures to Facebook so you check out more there.
