Do you want a fun vacation for the whole family?  A romantic getaway? Oklahoma City, Oklahoma has something for everyone!

When statehood came for Oklahoma on November 16, 1907, Oklahoma City became a center of commerce. In 1928, oil was discovered in Oklahoma City making the city the world's newest boom town. Oil continues to be one the most important players in the city's economy.

Today, Oklahoma City sprawls across 625 square miles of America's heartland. The population numbers in the metro area is over a million which is one third of the entire state's. Oklahoma City is the 29th-largest city in the nation (by population),
 

The Oklahoma Capitol is surrounded by working oil wells. The well in front of the entrance is nicknamed "Petunia #1" because the drilling began in the middle of a flower bed.

No trip to Oklahoma City can be complete unless you take the tour of the Oklahoma City National Memorial.  The Memorial & Museum was created to honor those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever by the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

 

    

These photos give you a good view of the area, but it will not be totally clear until you have walked the paths and viewed the exhibits. Then you will understand what happened on these grounds and lives have been changed forever.
