Wichita Mountains & The Wildlife Refuge

So a couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend actually kind of surprised me with a mini-vacation. My son was with his grandparents for the weekend, so we woke up at 6 am on a Sunday, hopped in the car, & drove 3 1/2 hours to The Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma.

 

The day before this, he actually took me to Hobby Lobby to pick up a scrapbook & some scrapbook items so we can make one of us. Isn't he so thoughtful?? So of course we had to take a ton of pictures! Anyway, when we first got there, we stopped at the visitor's center, looked around, & he bought me a t-shirt.

We tried to take a picture in front of the big window to see if we could get a good background, but that didn't really happen the way we wanted it to!

Then we set out on our hike! The views were so beautiful!

Here are a few videos as well.

After our hike, we made our way to the Holy City.

This is the church at the Holy City. They actually use it for weddings now.

When all was said & done, we made our way back to Texas. We stopped in Wichita Falls to eat at a place called Wasabi. They had some amazing sushi! Expensive though. I didn't save a picture of us or of the sushi :( We also ordered a drink called Sake. I was not a big fan of it because it's like wine, & I don't like wine (I know, I know, sue me). Juan described it as a "rice wine" & you can have it hot or cold. First, I took a shot of it. Ouch. Then I sipped on it, then I was done with it. We also walked around the mall for a little bit, then we headed back home. After getting home, we decided we were hungry, AGAIN, so we stopped & ate at one of the most popular Mexican Restaurants here, Abuelo's. By that time, it was already 9:00, so when we were done eating, we headed home & went straight to bed! But if you're around the Oklahoma area & you'd like to go on a nice hike, I definitely recommend the Wildlife Refuge at the Wichita Mountains!

Wait, Who is Traci?

Heyyyyy! Hi. What's up guys? My name is Traci. I started this blog to give me something to do while I am bored at work other than Pinterest, ha! No, but really, I hope to reach out to a lot of people with topics that could potentially help you out, such as beauty, food recipes, DIY projects, parenting advice, tips, etc, etc. I am 23, a single (but not single) mother to my wonderful 3 year old son. I have a wonderful boyfriend who is in the Air Force. I currently live in Texas, & have lived in Texas all my life, but of course, now being a military girlfriend (still pretty new to it), that will most likely change. I am not against it though! Just so you are aware of what you could be seeing on my blog, I love FOOD! I love to try out new recipes, so if I find a recipe that is worthy of sharing with you, you'll see that coming up ;) Also, my favorite color is gold & my favorite theme is Native American/Indian/Tribal/Bohemian. So you could be seeing a lot of that in the home decor posts. I also LOVE makeup (I know it doesn't look like it in my picture below, but we were up at 6 am to go hiking so I really did not feel like it). So I will probably talk about that quite often too, as well as other beauty advice such as skin care, hair care, etc. Anyway, that's my story & I'm stickin to it! If you have any questions or comments please leave them below! I will ALWAYS accept suggestions on blog ideas!
