We had dinner at my favorite mexican restaurant in Bricktown and then headed to the game. The restaurant served heart shaped sopapillas in honor of the day.
I worked for the New Orleans Hornets in college while they were displaced to Oklahoma City after Hurricane Katrina. My old boss and a couple of the people I interned with are now working for the OKC Thunder. Kasey and Jason had it arranged to say Welcome Baby K... on the jumbotron! I was so excited to see it up there on the big screen!
The next morning we walked around the OKC bombing memorial. It was a tragic day for our state and the memorial is a beautiful tribute to those that lost their lives.
The inscription that circles the Survivor Tree reads: The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us.
We ended our trip with cupcakes. There is a really fun cupcake bakery/candy store in the area called Pinkitzel.
They sell really cute gifts and I drooled over this party bunting.
My strawberry cupcake was really, really yummy!
It was really nice to get away even if it was only for one night. We had a great time together!
Sounds like a fun getaway. So cool to see that message on the jumbotron! And that store looks Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all got a chance to get away together! Your cupcakes have me craving one now :)
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you snapped a photo of the jumbotron welcome!!! Would that even have showed up on camera? Sounds like a wonderful little getaway!
ReplyDeleteThat day sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice little trip. Sometimes those are the best.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to OKC in a long time. I went to college for a year and a half in Edmond. I rarely cross the red river anymore. :b
Why in the world have I never taken the time to go in Pinkitzel...it is so stinking cute! Next time I'm there I will be stopping in for sure! Glad you had a fun little getaway and Baby K was even welcomed!
