We took off for OKC last weekend with no real plan - except for having a hotel booked. It was lovely! We made ourselves quite at home in the hotel and realized we hadn't spent more than one night in a hotel together before - four nights in one place felt like a luxury. We did a fair amount of relaxing, swimming, and sightseeing. In fact, we explored several districts in the city during our stay.
Day 1: Zoo, Bricktown, Oklahoma City Memorial
Day #2: Myriad Botanical Gardens, Movie, Escape Room, Land Run Monument
Day 1: Zoo, Bricktown, Oklahoma City Memorial
These chimps had quite the chasing game going - so fun to watch! |
Snacks in bed in the middle of the afternoon? Why yes, of course! |
Jumping on beds? Absolutely! |
These "tailgate benches" were so cute at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill |
So calm and peaceful now - a stark contrast to that awful day in 1995. |
Can you spot Delaney? |
I enjoyed my time in the "Crystal Bridge" - an indoor section of the gardens, while the kids played in the fountains outside. There were so many beautiful rain forest plants, and I took my time since I was by myself! :)
Banana Tree - the bananas are at the top somewhere |
Chocolate - of course! |
My view from the top of the bridge |
Back to the hotel for swimming! |
This was a fun place to eat before going to the escape room |
We escaped with 5 min. to spare. Even with a hint to help us, this was a favorite activity for all of us! |
Our hotel was close to the state capitol, so we stopped by for some pictures on our way back. There was construction so we weren't able to get very close. |
Land Run Monument - it was giant! |
Day #3: Outlet Shopping and Whitewater Bay:
Trying to convince Delaney to ride "The Big Kahuna" - it didn't work for her, but Cambry was convinced. |
The end of the ride - not sure if Cambry enjoyed it or not?! |
The Lazy River was a hit |
We ended our trip by ordering-in pizza: a first for the kids! |
