Oklahoma City Memorial Site

Good Evening,
As I write this the USA Olympic Team just march into the Beijing Olympic Stadium. I LOVE the Olympics and I am thrilled to watch it on a money 42" HD television! Our Hyatt in hotel room in Memphis, Tenn is the nicest place we have been on this trip! It is so nice that I took a few picts for you all to enjoy as well! Check out is at 12:00 and we will be staying tomorrow until the bitter end! haha! Our days of driving back East are coming to a close and we are getting very excited to get to the beach again. Exciting news...tomorrow we will cross over back into the East Coast time zone! yeah!

Anyway, this morning was a pretty emotional beginning, as we visited the outdoor portion of the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Site. We took a few pictures and posted them onto the web site, and you can view them by clicking the online pictures link on the right hand side. We were both moved and thought this was a wonderfully created memorial site. I was only 15 when the bombing occurred and I did not remember much about it! As I read though the history at the hotel before we left, I was moved to realize it was an American to cause this terror on our soil! It is amazing that a person's view can be so slanted and narrow minded to kill 168 people, including children, and injury many more. It is an point of view I hope to never understand! Anyway...it was a reflective sort of day!

The drive was uneventful...we finished our fourth and final book on CD. I really liked the story Dedication, but Dan thought it was too much of a chick book! We did have a nice discussion about the story over dinner though..haha.

Well I bid you all good night! The Chineese Olympic team is entering the stadium! Go Yao Ming, carrying the flag! How cute is Lin Hao, the earthquake survivor!

Love to you all.
Laura and Dan
