We headed downtown to Bricktown and checked out the local scene where we took a water taxi tour of the area and learned a few tid bits about the areas history. After the tour we headed to Mickey Mantle's restaurant for dinner, so yummy, make sure you save room for the carrot cake if you ever make it there, excellent! After dinner we headed over to the Federal Building Memorial and took a few moments to remember what had happened and be thankful for our lives today. Here is a picture of the Reflection Pool at the Memorial Gardens.
Thanks for a great day Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ted, we love you and it was so great to be able to visit you at your home away from home!
On Sunday we woke up early and started our way to Carlsbad, NM. All was going well until Lisa drove the RV (her first time unless you count pulling out of a parking lot) and while she was driving the large slide on the RV decided to "creep" out about 10 inches (the brake was not working properly), we stopped numerous times to try to fix it but not until the 3rd attempt did Troy figure out that the brake had somehow "slipped" into manual positon and needed to be set to automatic. So needless to say it was not a fun drive for us and we didn't make it all the way to Carlsbad. Instead we made it to Amarillo, TX (about half way to Carlsbad from OKC) which is a beautiful place to get "stuck" as we had a ton of fun exploring the area. We drove for a few on the "Mother Road"- Route 66 and headed to Cadillac Ranch. A crazy display of 10 Cadillac's stuck in the ground in the middle of farmland, strange, very strange!
We then took a drive to Palo Duro Canyon which is said to be one of the most beautiful places in all of Texas, it did not disappoint us!

Those caddy's are wild -- who on Earth put them there and why? At least you found something fun to do where you got "stuck". Looking forward to the next installment of Lisa & Troy's Excellent Adventure!
