Oklahoma CIty, OK - Roadrunner RV Park - Sept. 12-19, 2014

Made it safe and sound to OKC. We usually stay at the Roadrunner RV Park since it is the closest decent park to our daughter and grand daughter in Moore.
Site 17
Roadrunner RV Park

This park continues to be a good basic, no frills park. There is still the run down motel between it and Interstate 35 but never have any problems while here. This site is a back in on the east side of the park. The concrete is all cracked and there was some plywood toward the back of the site that, I guess, someone had put down as a patio a long time ago. This site was across from the dumpster but didn't have any problems with noise from guests or the dump truck.
The park is expanding to the north and the ground work has started. It will be interesting to see how this turns out and if it effects the park to the better or worse.

Full Hookups with free wifi but it was not good since we were a ways from the tower.
$202 for a week. There was a $20 charge since we were "big rig".
We barely fit into the site as you can see from the picture. Still think it's the best value for a decent park that is close to our daughter's home.

Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum - Oklahoma City, OK - Oct. 16, 2014




Fall break so a day to OKC!

We needed to make a trip to OKC so decided to make a day of it. Our grandson came along which made it a special day! We met our daughter for lunch at a pizza place close to her office - Pizza 23. We like to go to locally owned restaurants when we can so Michele suggested Pizza 23. It is a cute little pizza joint on 23rd st. Pizza and salad were both very good! Right next door is the Orange Leaf but I was able to not give in to temptation :-)

Oklahoma City National Memorial
Owen had asked if we could go to the Bombing Memorial since he'd been last year with his class but was very rushed. Sure! It had been a few years since we'd been. I really hate to say but either my memory is very bad or they have added a lot to the museum about the bombers. My personal opinion, there should only be a very small section that is about them. This place should be a memorial to the victims and the survivors not the the horrible men that caused it. That's my 2 cents.
The outside is a wonderful memorial! A very calm and restful setting with the memorial chairs placed where the building once stood. The reflection pool is where the street once was located.
