Random Road Trip

Last Saturday, I went over to the Martin's to plan out the Arizona trip (well, to plan as much as I care too - I prefer much more to just get out and drive without much more than an outline of where we're going - that way, if something interesting comes up, the "schedule" can be altered - it's easy to alter something that doesn't exist, ha ha)
Anyway, so we worked out the main details (uh, yeah, we're going to Arizona, right? Good, now that that's settled...) and then for some reason we decided to go to Oklahoma City to see the memorial of the bombing. A nice little day trip. On the way, Kinsey mentioned something about the World's Largest McDonalds - and I happened to know exactly where it was (well, not exactly, but I was pretty sure it was somewhere in Oklahoma or Missouri - now THATS exact!). So we adjusted our heading, and went to see the WLM. It is built over the interstate - here is a pic. Then we set out for Oklahoma City. The cool thing about having altered our original destination is that it put us off a bit on time - we got to OKC around 7:30-8PM, somewhere around then. That was fortuitous, because I have never seen the memorial at night - only during the day. Something about seeing all the chairs lit up, the darkness and the light - well, it is simply much more powerful at night than during the day. Plus, there were ducks on the reflecting pool - it was less than an inch deep, but they were out there! I told Dale we should dress him up as Jesus (he'd need to grow his hair out again, though) and get him to walk out on the reflecting pool - walk on water! The ducks might attack him, though.
