Before leaving the OKC area we went west to Express Clydesdale’s in Yukon, OK. We got to see 5 of these beautiful, massive horses! They were all black and white which is a rare color as most of the ones you see are brown. Jeff had scheduled this tour ahead of time. We arrived and…

Oklahoma City, OK
We’ve talked about taking a trip to Oklahoma for YEARS! It’s always been a conversation and a trip that we’ve wanted to take. Our only regret is not doing it sooner and not being able to go with Jeff’s parents. Anytime we’ve told anyone where we were going on vacation we always got the question…

Birthday Weekend at Redbud Treehouse
We’ve looked at treehouses in various areas and thought about staying in one. We’ve looked at some near where our nephew lives in Tennessee, but the ones we came across while scrolling on social media were never really, really convenient. We’ve looked at some that are kind of local to our area for sort of…

They use local farm fresh ingredients. It is named after the owners dog and originally started in…
