Little Rock
This next half of the trip wasn't as exciting as the first. The cities weren't as cool, the weather was hotter, we were tired and had a lot of road to cover to make it back. In Little Rock we stopped at the Famous Central High School. You may remember learning about it in school. In 1957 there was a desegregation Crisis at Central High. 9 African American students were persistent in attending the all white school at the time. I briefly remembered about it, but it was cool going to the visitor's center and watching little videos about it. School had let out for the day, so we could walk outside the grounds. It is a beautiful school.
Even the kids really liked the exhibits.
We also went downtown and walked around for a little while, but there wasn't much to see. As we were walking back to the motorhome sweating, we were parked by the splash pad so we decided to let the kids cool down and have fun.
Oklahoma City
Just east of downtown is Bricktown. It used to be a major warehouse district, but is now a dining and entertainment district. There are waterways throughout Bricktown, and water taxis you can ride.
It was nice having a small Minnie Winnie because we could still park in cities without being too long.
We briefly walked around the National Memorial honoring those who were affected by the Oklahoma City Bombing. There are 168 chairs representing each person that was killed.
