The Most Awesome Weekend:Part 1

Oh my goodness! This weekend was SO good and SO jam packed with stuff that I'm going to have to break it up into several posts (hence the title ;))! It was SO much fun.

On Friday night, Trey and I headed to Bricktown for the Zombie Walk. We are both wearing our Zombie walk shirts. 
We ended up eating dinner in Bricktown and then watching some of the bands that performed. We kind of missed the whole Zombie walking part, but we did see zombies! 
On Saturday, we headed back to Bricktown for the Festival on the Green at Myriad Gardens. It was the perfect day to explore the beautiful new gardens. It is the most amazing place. 
We started with lunch. I had Italian nachos, which were so good! They are fried pasta with alfredo sauce, olives, peppers, and sausage. Oh, and all drinks at the festival were $1. So, we kept getting Sonic drinks all day long. :)
Trey had a barbecue sandwich and chips.
We found a table by the water and the Crystal bridge. We listened to one of the bands while we ate. This picture shows the stage right across the water. There are several stages at the gardens.
The Crystal Bridge. This place is just too beautiful. I absolutely love living here!

The Devon Tower

They had a pumpkin patch set up in one part of the gardens.
And a farmer's market
They have several splash parks throughout, too. This one was so cool. Water came from the top and bottom and it alternated from regular water to mist. It was neat. It'll be perfect for kids someday in the future.
We walked around for awhile, then found a shady spot on a bench to listen to the bands.

This is one of the other stages. It lights up at night. 
Another splash area, plus the view of the Devon Tower and the Colcord Hotel.
The Colcord is a beautiful old hotel here. I love the way it looks on the outside.
We walked in the lobby and it was beautiful, too. 


And this was just the first part of our Saturday! Saturday night was SOOOO much that it will have to be its own post! Get ready for a million pictures! :)

I love checking out your blog...I've been in OKC (Yukon) for almost 9 years and you have already done way more around the city...thanks for introducing me to neat things to go do!
My husband and I stayed at the Colcord on our wedding night, and loved it! The rooms are beautiful!!

How fun! Bricktown is such a great area since OKC has brought it back to life.
