Beaver Bend

We decided to get away for the weekend with some friends from Texas.  We all met up in Oklahoma at a cabin in Beaver Bend/Broken Bow.   It was about a 7 hour drive on our end, so not too bad for a real get away.

It was gorgeous. 

I can easily say I've never been one to dream about going to Oklahoma.  In fact, I've never been in or through the state.  And, if it weren't for our friends who suggested it, I probably would never have gone.  But, we really wanted to just do something with them.

What I really liked was that we were somewhere with the kids that would allow us to be active.  We could hike, canoe, paddle boat, etc.  There was a lot of opportunity for movement.  We could do stuff.  And, we were able to escape the normal stresses of life and the "looming" holiday.  :)
