OKC Trip

When school was out and right before new classes started, we took a short trip to OKC.  We had a couple of fun days in town as well on either side of our quick trip.  We hit the aquarium in Tulsa and ate out at a couple of “new to us” restaurants.  In OKC we went to the outlet mall that opened last year to do some serious back to school shopping.  We got new fall clothes for both kids and did really well.  We also ate at some “new to us” restaurants in OKC.  There was an Italian restaurant that was such a hit with the kids that Ben is still talking about it. 

We also spent a whole day at the Science Museum in OKC.  We were worried it would be too much for older kids, but they loved it.  They didn’t want to leave as it was closing after a full 8 hours there.  We did shows and lots of interactive exhibits and spent lots of time building and testing out all sorts of hands on activities.  Ben got to try out a flight simulator and proceeded to tell the man running the exhibit that he had done a real one at his dad’s work with guns (he remembered a refueling hose as a gun), but that this was fun too.  We’ll definitely be heading back to the museum again and would also like to visit the zoo next time.
