Tulsa Trip!

Ever have one of those days where you just need to get out of town? Well, we did. So we did. We were originially planning on going deep sea fishing, but were told that fishing was not good. So, we re-vamped and decided on Tulsa and going to see the Tulsa Aquarium with Tyler's parents. After the Aquarium we went to Kilkenny's Pub for some authentic Irish food. The next day we explored the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Whispering Vines Winery. Here are the pics! Enjoy!

 

Tyler and Dennis at the Mexican Restuarant for lunch before the aquarium!

 

Vickie and I feeding the turtles. For a dollar they give you a few slivers of carrot and a close pin on a pole. It was fun!

 

Cool pic of a star fish

Silly Vickie!

Tyler loves the touch tanks! (I think they are gross)

 

Ty petting a sting ray

 

I think this is the closest he will ever get to his dream of cage diving with great white sharks.

Tyler and Momma on the gator

 

I decided to wrestle the gator!

 

Nice pic!

 

Dennis and Brittany at Kilkenny's Pub, a real Irish Pub in Tulsa! So much fun!

 

Vickie got a beer. It was good, we all shared it. I should have gotten one too.

 

Ty and Dennis got Cottage Pie. Pot Roast in a rosemary gravy topped with mashed potatoes. It was good, although too much rosemary for me.

 

Vickie and i got Boxties. They are an Irish potato pancake, sort of like a crepe, stuffed with stuff. Mine had the best corned beef and cabbage I have ever had in it.

Of course, if we go out of town and there is a casino, we have to go for Dennis. Let's just say we left a small deposit. Intereting though, I'm used to boats in Shreveport that have card games too. This casino only had slots and Poker.

 

Tyler in a plane at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum.  We also got to sit in an F-14 Tomcat, which was the plane they used in Top Gun. Sooooo cool!

 

 

Tyler playing astronaut, using the space arm at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. Definitely gonna bring our kids back when we have some!

 

Ty living his dream as an astronaut!

 

After the musem we ate lunch at Hideaway Pizza and then journeyed to taste wine at Whispering Vines Winery. It was good! Vickie and I are posing next to the grape vines.
