Spent last week driving through Oklahoma and Arkansas. We spent an afternoon in Oklahoma City. First at the Memorial for those killed in the Oklahoma City bombing. Who knew in 1995 that terrorist bombing would become part of our history. Started by two white Americans! On a lighter note we went to the American Banjo Museum which we really enjoyed. Lots of beautiful banjos and a special exhibit on Jim Henson!
Rain and potential severe weather had us travel straight to Hot Springs, Arkansas. The mere hint of the word tornado got our attention! No tornadoes but it rained a lot in Arkansas. We went to the Hot Springs National Park and saw how the wealthy took the mineral waters from the Hot Springs. Some of their treatments looked more like torture devices but the entire bathhouse was nicely preserved and was free!
The old Superior Bath building was turned into a brewery and restaurant. Brewing beer seems like a better use of hot mineral water!
Next stop….. Memphis!
