Today, we slept in till 8am! After we woke up, we ate breakfast, and then we headed off toward Siloam Springs, deciding if we saw something we would stop. We stopped at a book store, as well as Aldi!
We arrived at the JBU campus early, so we drove around a little while before heading to the admissions office where we had...
Our own parking space with my name on it!
We toured the inside of the chapel, students are required to attend 21 chapel services per semester.
There was several beautiful stained glass windows inside the chapel.
The outside of the chapel is gorgeous!
Posing for a picture, before going inside where I got a free t-shirt and water bottle!
Headed into Oklahoma City
Wierd birds at the OKC memorial
Children's Plaza
"A wall of hand-painted tiles from children around the world illustrates the caring and impact."
The Outdoor Memorial
"This remarkable national monument occupies the no-sacred soil where 168 Americans were killed. It is a place of comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity."
The Gates of Time
"Framing the moment of destruction-9:02 AM--the 9:01 East gate depicts the innocence before the attack. The 9:03 West Gate marks when healing began."
Original walls of the Murrah building
Survivor Wall
"The Murrah Building's only remaining walls, with more than 600 names of those who survived the blast."
Field of Empty Chairs
"Arranged in nine rows that reflected the floor where victims were working or visiting, 168 chairs are each etched with the names of a person killed. The 19 smaller chairs represent the children. The field matches the footprint of the Murrah Building.
Chairs for every person killed in the OKC bombing.
The moment after the bombing when healing began
Reflecting Pool
"What was once NW Fifth Street now cradles gently flowing waters that help soothe and inspire calm."
OKC has a super cool underground tunnel system which goes under all the buildings to help you escape the heat.
All the tunnels were different colors.
This was the hotel my dad stayed at when he came in 2011 for his cousin's wedding

This was a super cool sculpture near the memorial.
