The One Where Christie and Emily Rock a Weekend in Tulsa

I just got home from an AMAZING weekend with my best friend, Christie Thornock. We spent 3 1/2 days in Tulsa, OK without our kids or husbands. It was kind of perfect. 

I had a beautiful and QUIET drive without any children. I listened to an audio book and enjoyed every second of it.

I arrived at our hotel about an hour before Christie and got settled in. 

I can't even tell you how awesome it was to just sit there in a quiet hotel room and read. 

When Christie arrived we headed out for dinner. Our first stop, "Cheesecake Factory" and it was perfect. We ordered some cheesecake to go and went back to our hotel to watch some "Grey's Anatomy"

We watched the entire series on netflix before our trip. Our goal on our trip was to get through as much of the current season together as we could. 

We watched one episode of "Grey's" and then headed out to watch "Pitch Perfect 2"

It was completely awesome. 

Then it was back to our hotel for more "Grey's"and chatting until we fell asleep.

The next day was Friday and after sleeping in, we left our hotel to go shop. 

We shopped until lunch when we went and got some sushi. SO YUMMY. 

Our spoils from our shopping day. 

Then it was back to our hotel for a relaxing evening of "Grey's" and cheesecake. 

The next morning we had our "Inflatable 5K". 

It had been raining the entire day before, so everything was soggy. 

But we decided to make the most of the gross weather and get extra dirty. 

We jumped in all the big puddles and slid down the slides on our stomachs. 

The 5K was an inflatable obstacle course and it was so awesome. 

We had a blast running through the whole thing. 

There were 8 inflatables and we laughed our way through the entire thing. 

We were a little more than sad when it was over. I would have happily ran it all again. 

Here is me with my completion medal. 

We went back to our hotel and cleaned up. We were entirely covered in mud and we were soaking wet. So it felt so nice to get cleaned up. 

We went to lunch at "ihop" and ate so much. Yes, that's all my food and yes I ate it all. 

Next we did some more shopping and then we went and got pedicures 

and manicures. Aren't our nails pretty?

We followed the mani/pedis with delicious, juicy burgers and creamy milkshakes.

So good!

Then it was more shopping and then back to the hotel for more "Grey's"

The next morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and then packed up. We watched a couple more episodes of "Grey's" and the checked out of hotel.  We only made it halfway through the season of "Grey's Anatomy"  but I think that's pretty impressive. 

We decided to end our weekend with lunch at "Olive Garden". 

We both were sad it was over. Our weekend flew by way too fast!!!

We said our goodbyes outside Olive Garden and then both left to drive back to our real lives. 

Reality was a little hard to come back to, but my cute kids and helpful husband cushioned the blow. 

We had so much fun this weekend. We enjoyed being able to chat over hot meals. We enjoyed having room service clean up after us. We enjoyed being able to get out of the car without having to unbuckle any car seats. There were lots of little things we enjoyed about our weekend and we are both looking forward to our next girls trip in two years. Until then Christie, thanks for the fun! And thanks to my husband for willingly taking care of the kids while I had a small break. He's is kind of perfect.
