On our last day in Oklahoma we went to the National Memorial, the place of the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995.
I remember the day the bombing happened to the Alfred P. Murrah building and how terrifying it was.
Each chair represents the 168 people that died in the explosion. The building stood where the chairs now sit. Each chair has a name of one of the victims.
The blast happened at 9:02. One wall has 9:01 and one has 9:03. The bomb went off right between those times and between those walls.
Above is the only remaining wall of the Murrah building.
This was the Journal and Records building that sat next to the Murrah building. Now it is the museum. There are still cracks left in it.
Across the street from the memorial is a beautiful, heart breaking statue of Jesus weeping as he turns away from the site.
The whole memorial is incredibly and powerfully done.
We spent our last evening eating s'mores around the campfire.
We had a great Spring Break. Our week in Oklahoma ended with a beautiful sunset.
