Today, Babbit spent a rather low-key day just hanging out in Tulsa. After so many early mornings road trips, the plan to sleep in was accomplished by all. The day started just before lunchtime. Thank Heaven for room-darkening curtains! Since our day began so late, we skipped a traditional breakfast and headed straight to Goldie's for an early lunch -- a Tulsa landmark that sells what is arguably the best cheeseburger in the world. (James and I have actually argued about this. I say Goldie's, he says Claude's. He has no idea.)
Yummy!
Babbit visits Utica Square
Then he visits Swan Park...
... where the waterfowl are drowsy...
... and apparently on the Atkins diet.
The Tulsa tour was canceled by rainstorms, so Babbit watched Horton hear Whos instead
Gracie and Bub model their St. Patty's day green
Later, Babbit played video games with Bub and Christienne, a friend who came to visit
Our evening was spent hanging out and catching up with long-time companions.
We've had a great time on the road, and have immensely enjoyed our time spent with many of our loved ones. Tomorrow, though, we happily travel south towards home.
How was Horton? I loved that book and really want to see the movie.
What a fun trip! Are you originally from OK? Is this an annual outing? If anything, I'm sure it's been a great distraction to spend time with friends during this time. Go have some more fun with Babbit on the way home! :)
I'm flying tomorrow. Mixed emotions, of course.
Looks like you've had a great time!
I love the puppy holding the tv remote. How funny!
Is that St. John's hospital behind the burger joint? I gave birth to Addi (my birthdaughter) there. I used to love shopping at Utica Square. What fun!
Be careful coming home. It's wet. :-)
I love the adventure posts. It looks like you all have had a great trip. Did you get your hair cut?
Elizabeth -- It is St. John's! I didn't know you'd even been to Tulsa, much less given birth there. Small world.
I must be a dork too, because I love the adventures of Babbit. When Tommie & I were first married, we took a beanie baby monkey with us on road trips & took pictures of him in fun places too (not quite to the extent that Babbit did!). Upon re-reading this post, I have realized - yes, I am a dork. Dorks unite! ;)
Have a safe drive home. I've missed you.
