Amy and I just returned from Oklahoma on Wednesday (we had a great time by the way) and thought that we would share a few of our Only in Oklahoma moments.  Ready or not here it is.

Only in Oklahoma:

Pok Chop is a menu item.  Up here in the northwest we call them Pork Chops.

Every shower head I have ever used (of which are not many) I have had to bend way down to wash my hair.  I wonder why they don’t mount them any higher?  A good question I must say.

The toilets, at least in the girl’s bathrooms at the airport, have automatic toilet cover dispensers.  How cool is that?  Now I found this out from a good source – my wife.  She took a picture with her phone and I have still not seen it.  I will have to ask her about it later.

Lastly, they are not overly concerned about another terrorist attack.  My friend who lives in Oklahoma City said that he was recently able to take his son up to the top of the Chase building and nobody said anything to him about his purpose or about the backpack that he was wearing.  Here in Washington – most major companies are practically on lock down.  They are secure areas and it involves a process to get in, and once you do, you have to carry a visitor’s pass and they are going to want to know where you are at all times.  And this from a state (WA) that has never been bombed?  Anyways…just an interesting thought.  Quite possibly Oklahoma is a little more laid back than we are here in the northwest.  Maybe it’s the rain .

We loved our time in Oklahoma.  The people and the experience was great.  We especially loved the downtown area of Oklahoma City called Bricktown.

Do you have any Only in Oklahoma experiences?
