As I pointed out in my last post, my mother made an ill-timed, meticulously planned trip to Tulsa for the express purpose of visiting me. I think I've finally recovered. Here's what we did:
I had to take my mom to see some of Tulsa's most interesting landmarks, so we dropped by the Golden Driller...
And the giant praying hands at ORU...
And the Blue Whale on Route 66...
She made me drive to Bartlesville for a tour of Price Tower, which was admittedly pretty cool...
I also found a buffalo with extreme, disco-ball testicles in Bartlesville...
We spent an afternoon at Will Rogers Downs, betting on races...
But most of our horses came in last.
We stopped at Lake Oologah...
Dashed through downtown Tulsa to make it to the opera on time...
And generally had a very busy week!
I think my favorite part about the whole inconvenient visit was getting to dine at some new places around town- Dilly Deli downtown, The Wild Fork in Utica Square, Frank & Lola's in Bartlesville...All were very, very good. Our tour of the Blue Bell creamery in Broken Arrow was another highlight, especially the part where they gave us an entire gallon of vanilla ice cream. My mother also met Buttons, The G, Anne, Shari, and Kyla. I think she had a good time. As for me? I hope it's five years before she decides to visit again.
