Traveling Adventures| Erin Rachel Photography

Weekend before last I took off to Oklahoma for the weekend to visit a friend.

As soon as I landed we hit the road "running".

**AND before I go any further please understand this is a loonngg post with lots of pictures! If you read all the way to the end you deserve a high five!!!**

We only had 2 and an half days and lots of things to cover!

Since we were both starving we made an amazing Italian place our first stop! Talk about amazing...as we chatted and ate and got our bellies full we decided to hit up a little shopping since we were right by it. I mean two girls with a free weekend, for sure we're going to fit in some shopping. DSW...yeh if you need a pair of shoes you are bound to find a pair there...it's a shoe lovers heaven!

So after having fun and goofing off we went out on an adventure!

Just a quick side note...we had no map:-)

BUT we found our way out to route 66 to find Pops 66

and the Round Barn! What a gorgeous drive the hills, blue sky, the fall colors and the cool crisp air! Pops 66 had every kind of soda pop you can imagine...quite amazing actually!

On our way back to the city we stopped off at Arcadia State Park and a beautiful neighborhood...as we were being nosey and looking at HUGE houses we found some cool places to take pictures!!

We soon found our way to Cuppies and Joes

for a cup of coffee and a delicious cupcake!

I loved this combo! After getting a spurt of energy we were off to downtown Oklahoma City.

We walked around the Botanical Gardens which were gorgeous!!

Then down the road we saw the memorial for the Oklahoma City bombing. This was a perfect time to be there as the sun was setting, the lighting was AMAZING! These are some of my favorite pictures!!!!

We saved Bricktown for last because it comes alive at night and it's got more personality! We didn't stay long but just long enough to walk around and see the old buildings, texture and quaint places!

Saturday morning was a sleepy, lets relax and take it easy kind of morning!

Orange rolls for breakfast and then out the door for some shopping.

Saturday afternoon we wandered around the nice little town of Norman on Campus Corner.

I loved loved loved the old telephone booths! So fun!!!!

Then onto campus and wow the texture and architecture was unbelieveable!

Boba tea- was a highlight

...then gelato:-) Yum!!!

Can you tell I had wayyyyy too much sugar on this weekend! Wow my body was in sugar shock!

Sunday took us off to church...home to pack a picnic lunch. We loaded up headed to a lake only to end back up in Oklahoma City. Do you remember me saying we DIDN'T have a map...yeh that can be important! Somehow after stopping at a 7eleven with an icee in hand to get us through we found another park, which ended up perfect for a picnic lunch.

We found George Miksch Sutton Urban Wilderness area where we walked along the trails in the gorgeous fall weather and great company! SO FUN! Great memories...

When we got home we ordered some of the BEST pizza from Hideaway Pizza then popped in a movie! Such fun times.

I did warn you...this post was going to be long! Hopefully you just skipped over the writing...looked at the pictures and you really aren't reading all of this! hahaha because I really don't know why I'm writing allll of this! lol

Happy Wednesday!
