For the past couple weeks, me and my gal plans have been planning a weekend getaway for Dara's birthday. Our orginial plan was to go to Kansas City. However, as of Friday night, they were put under a winter storm warning and it was already snowing there. So on Saturday morning, I called up Dara and said we better not go to KC, we could get snowed in! (thank goodness we did not go or we might still be there). Dara's reply was.."I don't care if I hang out in Bella Vista all weekend, get me out of my house!" haha. Poor Dara has had a very stressful couple of weeks working on divorce cases (she is an attorney) and having no childcare, getting anything done with an 11 month old and a 3 year old at home is almost impossible. She was ready for a break...and all of us were looking forward to a mini getaway...even for one night. ;) So we decided to head to Tulsa. It was me, Dara, Mischelyn, Susan, Allison and Melinda. Luckily, we were able to cancel our hotel reservations in KC with no penalties because of weather. So on the drive to Tulsa, Mischelyn started checking on hotel rooms from her iPhone and calling around. After checking a few hotels, they were all booked! We finally decided to ask "What is going on in Tulsa this weekend?" We were informed there was a Reba McEntire and George Strait concert in Tulsa Sat night. Luckily, we got a couple rooms at a Hampton Inn and were set for the night. I think we were the only people in town NOT going to that concert. ;)
We shopped Utica Square and had lunch at the Wild Fork. Then we went to the Woodland Hills mall. After a FULL day of shopping, we headed to the hotel to freshen up and head out to dinner. But first we did our gift exchange with Dara...
Happy Birthday Dara!!
After checking with the "locals", the restaurant "In the Raw" in Brookside was highly recommended. By the time we got to the hotel and six of us got ready, we were heading to dinner at 7:30. The wait time at the restaurant was 1 1/2 hours so we put our name on the list and headed across the street to a Mexican restaurant to have a drink while we waited.
Cheers!
We told them it was Dara's birthday and they brought out the Sombrero and the Mariachi band!
Our waiter enjoyed a little dance with Dara! ;)
Thanks ladies for such a fun weekend! I had a blast!
