Lawton, OK and Wichita Wildlife Refuge

Before we knew it, it was our last day in Oklahoma. This was it - Wildlife preserve or bust. We'd heard so much about the reserve (mostly from Yelp reviews...) and didn't want to leave the Lawton area without visiting it. Ryan hadn't been either, so it'd be something new for him too.

Ryan wasn't able to leave base until early afternoon so CJ and I spent the morning do literally everything we could find to do in Lawton. Well other than Cracker Barrel and the movie theater ;) We drove to Fort Sill to check out what the base was like and got to walked around the artillery museum. There were a ton of missiles and tanks set up outside, dating all the way back to WWII. Crazy how big, and powerful, some of these are.

Wichita Falls, TX

Our second day in Oklahoma was the first day we were able to see Ryan. Being in training still, his plans can change at any time, and we found out a few minutes before we were supposed to meet for breakfast that he wouldn't be able to get off until the afternoon.

Not wanting to waste a morning of the trip, CJ and I did another quick Google search to find a place to spend the morning. I'm a sucker for checking things off my list and really wanted to visit Texas for the first time, so we decided to drive the 45min  to Wichita Falls, TX. After an obligatory stop as the "Welcome to Texas" sign, our GPS told us we made it to Wichita Falls.
