As I'm in the midst of yet ANOTHER staycation (my sister is town this week - woo hoo!), I thought I'd go ahead and post about a recent staycation we had a few weeks ago when my dad and brother were in Tulsa...
Staycations are awesome, especially when you are new to a city... They give you the perfect excuse to seek out restaurants and events that you've heard about but haven't yet tried.
We started the weekend off right with a little Mexican food at
El Tequila (one of our new favorite spots in Tulsa... It's seriously a score - Cheap and delicious Tex-Mex - Can't go wrong with that, can you?!). On Saturday, we finally made it out to the
Philbrook museum. The Philbrook is free on the second Saturday of each month, so I figured it was definitely the perfect time to go! Be sure to keep an eye and ear out for free events at your local museums!
The Philbrook was amazing! Not only did we enjoy viewing the current and more modern exhibits, the seemingly endless gallery rooms were filled with breathtaking pieces of art from centuries past. The gardens were also quite amazing - It'd be nice to go on a cool Fall day (which is what we all thought as we 'swam' though the humidity).
We capped Saturday with a trip to our local Irish pub -
Kilkenny's! We love the place, and seem to go at least a couple times a month. Here's Zac giving his best Irish face. LOL
On Sunday before they left, we took my dad and Zac to
Fat Guys Burger Bar (we were all totally blown away by the deliciousness! GO!) and then listened to some music at the
Guthrie Green, which is one of those local spots that you wonder what the city did without it. Not only are there free concerts weekly... There are also free fitness classes and more! SO great!
So yes... We had a great weekend! So much fun!
