In case some of you were wondering where I was for the past few days; we were out of town and here's a little story of our Get-Away weekend. Shaun and I had a very great time and we love the place... it was so beautiful. The place that Shaun and I will never forget... MEDICINE PARK, OKLAHOMA.
Day 1 - - -
Left Durant at 2:30 p.m. and though it rained on us we still kept on driving. We can tell that both of us were so excited to see the place, just the way we act. We rented Lulabelle's Cobblestone Cottage. More Photos in L~i~t~r~a~t~r~o. The cottage was cute, very clean and very peaceful. Not to mention the owner was so thoughtful and very helpful. After an hour rest we walked to Medicine Park Music Hall (no web site yet) and had a couple of beer while enjoying the fresh air breeze and the sound of the running river (hanep, sarap ng feeling!). Then, we walked back to Riverside Cafe (no web site yet). They had delicious food and the service was awsome. I had grilled Mahi-Mahi, I had to try it 'cause I never had Mahi-Mahi before and I loved it. Shaun had Chicken Fried Steak... big steak and it tasted so good too! I considered that night as a romantic moment for us 'cause we enjoyed the outdoor view and we enjoyed our conversation. Then we went back to the Cottage and watched "Just Like Heaven" (so romantic) I would never forget that evening.
Day 2 - - -
Because of too much excitement, I woke up at 7:00 a.m., had a cup of coffee and watched "Something's Gotta Give" movie. Then we drove to town to get something to eat for breakfast... and yeah it was raining... but not hard. We still had the chance to roam around, sight seeing and took some photos. We went shopping first ofcourse, he-he.
Shops that we visited on Day 2:
Purple Parrot
Mount Scott was closed on Saturday because of the rain. But there were few people hiked though it wasn't safe. Shaun was disappointed 'cause he wanted to bring me up to the very top of the mountain. So we went sight seeing instead. We saw bulls, buffalo, eagles and prairie dogs. I have a video clip of the prairie dog but the capture was not great, but I'd still like to share. (Video Clip: PRAIRIE DOG)
Then went to see the The Holy City of the Wichitas . They have a big statue of Jesus on top of the hill. Every April they celebrate Holy Week... just like in the Philippines. We checked out their gift shop and they have pretty good selections. Afterwards, we went to Meers town to try the BEST BURGER in the United States, the place was called "Meers Store and Restaurant". You can tell how very old the building was. It was actually scary 'cause it can collapse anytime without knowing, hehe. There's no small in that restaurant, the burger was huge, lots of french fries and I tried the green friend tomatoes... they're so good. And we also tried Meer's Beer... taste like Red Horse Beer in the Philippines. My dessert was home made Snickers Chocolate Fudge... yummy! Then we went back to the cottage and rest for a few hours and got ready for another night time explore. There's a walking distance bar across our cottage named Park Tavern. Although it was already late night and rainy (sucks) we drove to the Winery but we got lost... LOL. So we just went back to the cottage and sleep.
Day 3 - - -
Gosh, it was sunny. So we hurried to pack our things, got a chance to stopped at the Winery of Wichita; went out for more sight seeing and finally... we were able to drove up to the mountain. See photos in BUCKNERS multiply. It is so beautiful up there. As we drove back home, we stopped at Turner Falls (turned out as super public swim spot). I didn't liked it so Shaun brought me to Sulphur river... the place was awsome. I love the water, very cool, fresh and clear... at least doon may privacy ng konte.... and medyo class... ha-ha. Then drove ulit to Blue River... nice place also, but I prefer to swim in Sulphur... I fell in love with the place.
Then we're back home... and enjoyed the taste of wine before we went to bed.
So that was it... there's more fun actually, it's just so hard to put everything in words. We have a bunch of photos, I will upload them as soon as I get a chance.
Thank You so much for reading! Mwah!

naku sis, having a baby is not an excuse noh. why not search for a place where you can bring Caleb with you. I know maliit pa si baby pero there are nice places naman na pang family talaga diba? and am sure it'll be fun. ako, pag nagka anak kami ni Shaun mega lakwatsa kami.... he-he
