All my Favs....

.......wrapped up in one weekend!

Our mini staycation was a success.  We don't usually get to get away from the ranch, just because.  We made this exception because we needed time away to rest.  We met Papa Jones and Grammy in Paul's Valley on V-Day and then headed back North to OKC for a few days.  For our V-Day dinner we went to our favorite sushi place.....it did not disappoint!  We then decided to go to the movies.  We are not big movie theater people but we enjoyed Identity Thief.  We laughed SO hard.  I knew I wanted to go see Safe Haven sometime that weekend so I let Cody pick the movie!

After the movie we went to the Olive Garden for dessert and champagne.  It was yummy too.

Friday night we made reservations for Mickey Mantel's.  It's one of the best and nicest steakhouses in the city.  Our Sunday school teacher suggested it to us, so we decided to check it out.  He told us to plan on spending at least 100.  We never splurge on things so we just went for it.  We ordered an appetizer, steaks with add ons and got a dessert to-go because we were SO full.  We were there for at least 2 hours and it was the best dining experience ever.

We sat in a little nook and just talked and talked.  It was nice.

We were so full after dinner so we decided to just go back to the room and relax.  I got a foot rub and then we chowed down on this.......

This piece of cake was twice as big as Cody's hands and at least 6 inches thick.  We only had maybe 1/4 of it and we were stuffed again.  I'm pretty sure I gained 10 pounds on this trip!

The next morning we loaded up and headed to Stillwater.  We had tickets to the OU/OSU basketball game.  It was a great game and a neat experience at a huge college campus.  Our hotel was about a mile away from the school.  We arrived at our hotel about 11:45, our room was not ready and we could see a lot of people walking.  I love walking and talked Cody into just walking to the gym.  The game started at 12:30 and we were just in time and we didn't have to find a parking place...SCORE!

The game was intense.  The guy beside me had so bad B.O and the girl behind us would not shut up and honestly, I think she thought she was the coach......

Cody was def in his element......

While we were at the game I just played on my phone...I got some cute pics of Jones at Papa and Grammy's house.  He was having a great time!  Probably didn't even miss us.....but we def missed him!

After the game we walked back in the direction of our hotel found a yummy Mexican food place and ate our little hearts out...walked back to our hotel and relaxed till our movie started.  Safe Haven was SO good.  I just love Nicholas Sparks anyways and his movie never disappoint!  After the movie we went to Red Lobster and had a couple of appetizers and closed them down.

It was nice sitting somewhere quiet and having adult conversations for hours at a time without having to entertain a 2 yr old.  Jones, We love you more than words can describe but me and daddy sure did enjoy ourselves this weekend!

On our drive home the weather was PERFECT!  We pushed the sunroof back and enjoyed the 2 hour drive home.  We were going to stop at Gloss Mountain to hike it but decided to come back with Jones one day.....he would love it!  We got back to the ranch and a few of the breeder bucks dropped their antlers so we went out on the ranch and hiked and hiked and hiked and found lots of sheds.....Cody was thrilled!  It was a great weekend!  Jones got home about 9 Sunday night and Oh how we missed you sweet boy!

We need to make this an annual trip fo sho!
