There were a few things I have been wanting to check out since we moved here, so it was nice to have an excuse to go and do them. First we went to Bricktown, an area in downtown OKC right off the river with different shops. I had hoped for a unique atmosphere, with a lot of specialty shops, but we discovered it was more of a glorified concessions stand, with most of the shops being restaurants and bars. All in all, it was still a nice area and we enjoyed our lunch and walk along the river.
Next we went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial. I figured it would be a solemn place, but was not prepared for how much of an affect it would have on me. It's just so hard to imagine why or how someone could do something like that. I think the hardest part for me was seeing photographs of the victims, and thinking about all that their families had to go through. Even though it was hard to see it all and take it all in, I am so glad we went. The city truly did an amazing job, and it is a beautiful and peaceful place.
Sunday was a nice, relaxing day. I don't think any visit from Diane would be complete without a game of GOLF! Ever since we learned it earlier this year, it has become a staple every time we see the family. It has definitely become one of my favorite games, probably because it doesn't take much skill!
We also made a yummy, EASY ice cream cake. I saw the recipe on Kraftfoods.com and couldn't justify making it for just Jason and myself, so I figured that company was the perfect reason to make it!
Jason had school on Monday, so Diane and I went baby shopping. It was nice to have her there with me since I am clueless as to what I need and what I don't! After all the shopping our feet were tired so we went and pampered ourselves and got pedicures. It was so fun to have her here with us and we miss her tons! Thanks for everything Diane! We can't wait to see you again in October!
