The Random Ramblings of Samm Diep

Tuls-Adventures

(updates from the weeks prior to follow in a separate posting)

Early Thursday morning, Chris came over and we began our trip. No road trip would be complete without first stopping at Sonic. I decided to bring Douglas along for the ride. Whenever Chisolm travels, he leaves Douglas out for me. He had a swiss mountain dog growing up named Douglas and for Christmas, his mom sent us this one. The crazy thing is there's a tag that says "Douglas" but it's the company that makes him! Anyway, I decided he could be our roving reporter.

Stretchin' our legs in Kansas.

Can you believe the $2.05 gas prices?! Douglas couldn't either.

Next stop, Aggie's (not to be confused with "Angie's") for some food and a giant home brewed root beer. We weren't in any rush.

About 11 hours and 700 miles later, we finally arrived in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. (not before Chris played for us "You're the Reason God Made Oklahoma" as we rolled into town) Sandy and Keith Chamberlain of TulsaPool.com were gracious enough to shack us up in their extra mobile home, conveniently located directly across the street from their own and just a few miles from Magoo's, where the tournament was held.
As we rolled into town, I immediately (& very excitedly) spotted a Steak-n-Shake. SWEET! We made a few stops there, along with another favorite that we don't have in Colorado, Taco Bueno.

Updates on the tournament to be posted on my pool blog. In the meantime, Chris and I had some fun in Tulsa.


She's originally from Broken Arrow and hadn't been back to visit in about 14 years, so we made our rounds on Friday and visited her old family home and schools, etc. It's was very cute.

Most of Saturday & Sunday was spent at Magoo's. We did manage to sneak away for a bit on Sunday for some lunch. No visit to Tulsa would be complete without stopping by the famous Knotty Pine BBQ. Yum-ME!!!
Our friends Rachael & Bonnie took first & second and the two pro qualifiers. Here they are with Douglas.
Our Monday drive back to Colorado was pretty uneventful. A stop by Steak-n-Shake on our way out of town and I was in my pajamas by 8p.m.

We had a blast!
