Well this last week I spent my time in Oklahoma visiting my two offices in that state. One in Oklahoma City and one is in Tulsa. I was again amazed that these are not dusty cowtowns from the days of old. They are sleek and have much to offer as you will see. These are photos of the memorial of the federal building that was destroyed by Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City. On the left of the trees above are chairs that symbolize each of the victims of the blast.
The photos above are just random pieces of art and of course a segue scooter Santa on the streets of Oklahoma City. After work, Kathy and I went to the 54th floor of the Devon Tower to have a cocktail and view the city from its highest viewpoint. Probably the highest viewpoint in all of Oklahoma! It was gorgeous and showed the expanse of the city
As we were preparing to leave the next day, we ran across a couple of our office mates grabbing a cup of coffee in the same square that we were picking up our to go coffee.
Then, it was off to Tulsa. Kathy, our IT specialist drove us the two hours to Tulsa to visit the third office of our four office region. Tulsa also has a lot to offer. It makes the claim that it is where Route 66 meets the Art Deco capital of the West! So true.
We drove the city and I saw many of the Art Deco buildings but failed to get the old phone out to capture them for this blog! Next trip, I promise to show you the infamous buildings. However, the house below caught my attention the last night as it was one of the prettiest holiday decorations I have seen on a house. It almost looked like a Christmas card.
The next morning I caught a six am flight home to Omaha through Dallas. Thank goodness as Omaha had a blizzard while I was gone and if I had booked through Chicago I would probably still be in Oklahoma!
Great shot of the dawn breaking while I am at 35,000 feet! Pretty amazing. But now, I am home for Christmas and will work in Omaha until the 2nd of January! Sounds great to be home for the holidays.
