24 hours in OKC

we woke up on friday morning of spring break last week & decided last minute to go to Oklahoma City for the NCAA tournament games.
no one had anything packed.
we had no tickets to the games.
but we all scrambled together and hit the road.

in less than three hours we were there!
craig and the boys went to find some tickets for the second game in the first round.
scott really wanted to see Buddy Hield play in person.
craig could only find two tickets so he sent the boys inside on their own and then he went to watch the game at a restaurant.
the girls and i wandered around and took silly pictures in front of crazy murals.

we had time to shop at one store that was nearby called Plenty.
it’s such a fun place!
we loved so many pretty things in their shop.
but this trophy… don’t you think some days it would be THE PERFECT gift someone could give you?!

and there was time for dessert too.
BEFORE dinner!
lucky ducks.

the girls and i drove around and looked at giant fancy houses for a few minutes too.
then we met up with all the boys for dinner – Mexican!  YUM!
after that we ALL went back to the stadium and had tickets to the second round of games that night.

these weren’t teams we particularly cared about but it was fun to go and do something different.

for the 2nd game in the 2nd half we saw a bunch of empty seats in the third row and we moved on down.
we got a close up view for the craziest game ending shot!
it was tied and everyone’s phones were dead except for mine.. i had 4 % left.
scott said “MOM! VIEDO THIS!”  i said “Why?!” (like a true mom)
and then this happened….

SO MUCH FUN!!!

we pretty much decided that we need to go to NCAA march madness games every year.

we had debated earlier in the day not spending the night but thankfully we had gotten a hotel room because the game was over after 11:00!
we got to our hotel room at midnight!
AND we got upgraded because since it was so late they gave our room away earlier
we had ended up in a room that had 3 tvs,  a kitchen and a bar AND a conference table with 6 rolling chairs!
the kids thought it was so fancy.
Craig and i loved that we had our own room within the suite!

the kids went swimming in the morning and played their favorite game of hotel elevator tag
we ate a big buffet breakfast and then it was back on the road.

the next Urban Outfitters catalog models… featuring a broken wheel barrel.
ha ha ha

and this one could be captioned “SEAN! GET OUT OF MY PICTURE!!”

it’s a shame these kids have no personality and they are just so shy.
heh.


we stopped into this shop Pinkitzel… ummmm?
this place was W-I-L-D!
super cute cupcakes though!
and the cutest mugs!  this fancy pants one was my favorite.

and then seriously… THIS IS AN UNDERPASS!
it is crazy beautiful.

i asked craig to pull over so i could take this shot.
and i love him for stopping.
i am super curious about this place?!!
obviously because of the white on white Jesus Saves neon lights but also because it was super modern and pretty and well taken care of.
LOVED IT!

and that was our 24 hours in OKC.
we had to get back home in time to watch KU play on tv.
🙂

short & sweet and a seriously good time!
perfect way to end spring break!
