Tulsa

Jesse had to go to Tulsa for work. I decided to tag along since it's a free trip and I haven't spent any time in Tulsa before. It's about 4 1/2 hours from Burleson so I thought it would be a nice little adventure. The kids stayed with various friends- the Burkhardts, Palmers, and Smiths- and we got to have a night away. We decided to something a little different this time and stayed at a B&B instead of a hotel. We were thrilled with the place we found. It's called the Kennedy Mansion and is actually an old mansion in downtown Tulsa. The couple that own and run it are fabulous people. He is a blues singer who toured around Europe with a top 10 hit. He met her in France and they married. He moved her to Tulsa with the promise that he would find a way to let her continue doing what she loves-cooking and entertaining. So they have the gorgeous B&B. She makes a gourmet French breakfast for the guests in the morning. They also offer gourmet candle light dinners but we didn't get to do that while we were there. The house was beautifully preserved. We had a wonderful time.

At one time this house was owned by Stephen Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith. I thought that was kind of cool.
