Bound for the Beach: It's Been a While!

I have been terrible about posting lately, but I have been crazy busy!

Darrin has been working a ton lately, but in his spare time has found us a condo to rent in Coral Springs! It should be available to us on July 1st, which is two weeks(!!) from today, so I am back in crazy moving/organizing mode! There is so much to do before we leave for Florida! Darrin is going to drive the box truck with all our stuff in it and my mom and I are driving my car with Jude and Luna! Three days in the car with a crazy dog and an almost two year old who has, in the last few months, decided that he doesn't like to be in the car more than 30 minutes at a time, and is sure to let you know that he is ready to get out! So, if anyone has any brilliant suggestions for traveling with a crazy dog or a small child, they would be greatly appreciated!

Last week, my friend Kat came down from Indy. She had never been to Oklahoma before, so, clearly, I had to show her all the wonderful, if slightly crazy, things about this part of the country! We spent a morning at Crystal Bridges art museum in Bentonville.

Crystal Bridges is built over a river!

Jude got in on the art!

The museum was fantastic and in such a beautiful setting! Jude really only liked the kids area though. Art is hard for a two year old to appreciate! We spent that afternoon wandering in Eureka Springs, looking through the little shops and climbing ridiculous hills with the stroller! It has been a long time since I had been to Eureka Springs, and I had forgotten how crazy the drive is!

I love stained glass, but I'm still mad I forgot my good camera!

I also took Kat to Woolaroc, near Bartlesville. It's a museum and ranch, with tons of Oklahoma art and artifacts, loads of different types of animals, and a lodge filled with taxidermied animal heads! It's a great place to see some of the really awesome stuff about Oklahoma, with a healthy dose of crazy!
