Tulsa
A couple years ago, my husband and I started doing Christmas dates. We decided to spend more on a weekend date, that allowed us to have quality time together, each year as our Christmas gift to one another.
Last year we stayed in OKC, so we knew we wanted to go somewhere out of town this year, but nothing too far. Since we moved to Oklahoma 3 years ago, we haven’t been able to spend much time in Tulsa, so it was the perfect choice for us this year.
The first thing we did when we got to Tulsa was head to Utica Square for some shopping. I found a cute sweater at Anthropologie and we found my husband some great clothes from Gearhead. After shopping we ate lunch at Stonehorse where I had the quiche and my husband had the meatloaf-both which I highly recommend. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and soak in the crisp winter air.
Next stop was Poppis Urban Spa for facials and massages. We also had lounge access and were able to do chromotherapy, infrared sauna, and salt therapy. We left feeling relaxed, recharged, and de-stressed.
Across from Poppi’s is the Tulsa box yard-with some super cute new and upcoming shops. Definitely check it out if you are in the area and get your insta-worthy pic!
It was time to check into our hotel and get ready for dinner. We chose to stay at The Tulsa Club and I cannot recommend this place enough. We were placed in a corner suite, with champagne and chocolates waiting for us. The lobby was decorated beautifully for the holidays. We even used their car service to take us to dinner. We will definitely be back!
For dinner we had several people recommend The Bull in the Alley and it did not disappoint. We started the meal with their bacon (which they are known for) and oysters on the half shell. For the main course we chose the porter house which was the best steak I have ever had. We finished the meal with chocolate cake to celebrate life, love, and happiness.
The next morning we chose to eat brunch at Roosevelt’s before we headed back to OKC. I would recommend checking this out around Christmas time, as the decor is superb. If you head there for brunch, I recommend the honey butter chicken biscuit.
We had such a great weekend getaway and came home feeling recharged and in love. I cannot stress how important I think it is (even when you have little kids) to take the time to invest in your marriage and your relationship. We are better parents when our marriage is strong.
