Oklahoma Adventure, Part IV: Ponca City/Stillwater

So.... quite some time ago... like August...
we went on another Oklahoma Adventure with Jeremy & Natalie.
And I didn't blog about it because I wasn't blogging at the time.
Well, now I regret that decision & I need to blog about it
so I don't forget about it.
Also, my memory is a little foggy on the details
& I'm too lazy to get the pictures off my camera so
you're just going to have to deal with the few iPhone pictures I have.

Oklahoma Adventures, Part IV: 
The things you learn in Ponca City/Stillwater

1. Ponca City is just a horrible town.
We really didn't know what to do here.
We were actually really excited about this one
& have never been more disappointed.

2. The Marland Mansion tour is way too long to be enjoyable.
We're talking 3-4 hours of listening to someone that's not
entertaining talk about dead people and what kind of marble
is in the bathroom.

3. E.W. Marland was really just a creep that married his daughter.

4. When you're rich you think your bedroom even needs fancy woodwork.

5. Original saunas look like death traps.

6. The only thing I found enjoyable was this ceiling:
 
And the underground tunnel.

7. Stillwater thinks everything should close by 4pm on a Saturday.
All of the shops were already closed by the time we got there.
How is this possible?

8. Eskimo Joe's is actually pretty neat & tasty.
I was pretty skeptical because they're so tacky.

9. Even though it's college town, you can still find an awesome low-key bar.
 
What's better than girly drinks out of mason jars? Nothing.



We are definitely loooog overdue on another Oklahoma Adventure
but our best friend, Jeremy, recently became a business owner
so he's a little preoccupied at the moment.
Speaking of, everyone should support local business
and visit Dale's BBQ House on SW 119th & Western.
It really is super good & I suggest you try the mac & cheese.
& everyone definitely needs to vote daily for Dale's to win best BBQ
in Moore by clicking here!

  1. I guess Im a nerd. I liked the mansion tour...I think its mainly because the ideas that people ACTUALLY spent UNGODLY amounts of money on those things and to see what they would choose for that UNGODLY amount of money completely blows my mind. :)

    P.S. We'd love to Oklahoma Adventure with you sometime. You have no idea!
