The Spirit of Adventure 2.0

One of the places we have wanted to see for years is the Oklahoma City National Memorial On April 19, 1995 the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was blown up by Timothy McVey and Terry Nichols because they were angry at the government over the Waco incident. 193 people were killed that day by domestic terrorists while going about their day at work.  Of the 193 killed 15 were children at the day care center in the Federal Bldg. The Oklahoma City National Memorial was built on the site of the Murrah Federal Building .  Today, where the building once stood there is a lawn where 193 chairs sit. E ach representing a person lost that day.  There is also a museum that tells the story of that day, the rescues that took place in the rubble and the way the community came together. It is an amazing story and we would recommend this memorial and museum to anyone  visiting the OKC area. While in OKC we quickly learned that it can be very windy her

As we prepared to start our adventure we were on track to close on our home on September 14, 2017 and be on the road shortly thereafter.  Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma  hit South Florida on September 10 forcing us to delay the closing twice while we cleaned up up the damage and made repairs. Our departure date was delayed by a month but we finally were on our way on October 14.          Our first stop was Sabastian FL to visit Debbie's step mother Mo and her husband Dick.                           While there we went to the National Navy Seal Team museum in Fort Pierce, what a great place...                                  You may remember that it was Seal Team Six that rescues the crew of the Maersk Alabama.                   The life boat that the crew was held captive on is on display at the museum.                                                 It was also Seal Tram Six who carried out the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden
