We have had a long drive and arrived in Oklahom. The plan is to visit Bricktown in downtown Oklahoma City and then to eat at Pops in Arcadia. 

The boys stayed home while I took my mom to Bricktown to visit a few shops (2) and to take a boat ride on their Riverwalk. There are lots of bars and restaurants at this point but they need some shops for those of us who aren’t into the bar scene. We had lunch at I Love This Bar & Grill. I had a pulled pork sandwich (no bun) with a side salad my mom had swordfish.  The boat ride we took afterwards was enjoyable and I really enjoyed the sculptures at the midway point. I think the OKC Riverwalk has potential but it’d not quite there yet. 

We ran out of time so we could only drive by the OKC memorial. Afterwards mom and I had to boogie to get the boys and head to Pops. 

For once we all enjoyed our dinner. Usually someone has something go wrong but tonight it was perfect. I did take two bites of root beer bread pudding which was surprisingly yummy. It was served with salted caramel ice cream which my mom had a few bites of and declared delicious. Brian loved his vanilla milkshake and Sean said their corn dog was great.  

 What really makes Pops special is the 700 flavors of soda they have. My mom picked up a few diet ones to try and I pointed out all the vintage candies to my kids. 

Next up Kansas!

Take care y’all
