Friday I worked until 1:30 then came home and packed really fast so I could get on the road before it got too late. I packed my car up and went to get money from the bank and fill up my gas tank. Then I hit the road(well actually I hit something else...). This is my first trip going somewhere other than home all alone. It was kinda cool but being new to the OKC area I was not too familar with all the highways. That being said I got lost leaving OKC. So I'm driving along(with no map) and I'm lost...hmm what do I do? I call my dad and he gets on google and looks it up for me. Didn't take long until I was on the right highway and headed toward Arkansas! I'm driving along traffic wasn't too bad for a Friday but it wasn't light either. Well I'm behind a hummer and you know they are tall and can easily go over things. Anyway we are driving along and they go over this thing and when they do I realize what it is. A BIG tire from a semi truck. Well I drive a ford escort that is low to the ground so I have no choice but to just run over it. BAM! Yep I made it over. Thankfully the car is fine and is still running. lol Nothing like a little excitment to get the trip started! Anyway 4 hours later I was in Arkansas. Now all I had to do was find Town center. So I drove a little and then I asken in Walgreens. I finally made it to Vacation Rentals. I went in and got the keys and directions to the duplex/house for the weekend. I read the directions and wrote them down so it would be easier for me to read. Well so I follow the directions and go to Trafalgar road. Now this road is full of curves and long, tall hills well I guess it would be mountains. The speed limit is 30 miles an hours...very slow but seems fast when your going down the mountain..lol. I have to say I'm very good with directions and maps but this time I wasn't. I blame it on being late at night and I was tired. I drove on this Trafalgar road up and down 4 times and still couldn't find the street to turn on. I had had enough and was starving so I drove down to Dairy Queen. MMMMM I had a wonderful chicken strip basket. Then I head back to Trafalgar road and go up and down it again and still didn't find the road so I tried one more time and YAY! I found it!! So I go down that road and down another and then there it is...the duplex! It was very nice. Two bedrooms and baths and a nice living and kitchen area. I got settled in and unpacked and then I waited until my parents arrived at 2:30 am Saturday morning. We talked for a few mins and then we all crashed into bed.
Saturday morning we got up and my parents drank their coffee out on the deck and enjoyed the wonderful view. We hung out for a little bit and got dressed and then went to find a place for breakfast. We decided to go back in town to Bentonville, Ar to eat at Panera Bread. They have a wonderful breakfast!! We were too late though for breakfast there so we went down to IHOP. MMM After breakfast we did some errands and then went to find the land. We took several pics and walked around for a while. That evening we met some friends for dinner. We went to a place called Fred's Hickory Inn. It was a nice place. On Friday and Saturday they have a guy that plays guitar and sings and so we were able to sit and listen to him. He was very good and the food was great! After dinner we went back and went to bed.
Sunday morning we slept in and then got up and packed our bags(so sad we had to leave) then went to check out. After we turned our keys back in we drove to the Metfield clubhouse. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet there and the rooms have a great view of the mountains and golf course. We stuffed ourselves full then tood another trip to take a few more pics of the land. After that we all headed home. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back very soon for another visit! I do have some pics that I will post later.
