You may or may not know that there's an Amtrak train the Heartland Flyer that runs from Oklahoma City to Fort Worth, Texas. It's about a 4 and a 1/2 hour trip both ways with a 5-hour stay in Fort Worth. Sounds like a great time and a great day-cation ideal.

I had no idea we even had a museum like this in Oklahoma. You can bet I'll be loading up the car and taking the quick trip down I-44 to visit Skeletons Museum of Osteology. It's located at 10301 South Sunnylane Road in Oklahoma City, and just an hour and a half away or so from Lawton, Fort Sill.
