Well, we get to scratch off another state from the list of 50 we have visited. We were a little hesitant to go to Oklahoma because we once watched “Twister” and knew that Helen Hunt had moved back to California. But, we had an opportunity to meet up in OKC and took it even though we knew there wasn’t much to see. Boy were we wrong. Once again, Inspector Bruce uncovers the unusual and unique. Perhaps the best attraction of all, no, no “perhaps” about it, is the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks. It is worth visiting just for itself. Ask them for a look-see behind the wall at the shark pool. Very, very, very cool.
As is usual, we fill up the schedule with nature and animals. The good thing about this trip is that I had all my newly repaired Nikon equipment back for the trip. All of my bodies and lenses were in tip-top shape so some of the photos are very good, if I do say so myself, and I do.
Arbuckle Wilderness
This is a drive through wild animal park where the animals are not so wild. The had a lot of animals and scenery that we didn’t expect in Oklahoma.
We stopped to find out what fried pies were and we found out that they are fried pies. We had an apple and two coconuts. I shouldn’t have eaten the second coconut. It was very good, though. Tums helped.
This is a combination of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the Air and Space Museum in San Diego. It has a little bit of everything. Children play areas, some of the same exhibits and an OmniMax theater. We saw The Forces of Nature movie. It was pretty cool.
