Son’s geronimo offered the ultimate glamping experience! The birdhouse cabin where we stayed included 2 queen beds, 2 daybeds, a full-sized bathroom, a kitchen/dining area, and a large patio that overlooked the Geronimo Creek. Each cabin also includes 2 BBQ grills and a fire pit. When we weren’t relaxing in the cabin, there was so much to do on the property. The amenities included 2 swimming pools, 2 hot tubs, sand volleyball, a small playset, a basketball court, and game rooms with a pool, foosball, ping pong, etc. The most fun activity, however, is the creek. The creek offers opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

While there, we also ventured down to Blue Lotus Winery for a tasting. Blue Lotus offers a variety of mead wines and is only a 4-minute drive from Son’s Geronimo.

48 Hours in OKC!

Our family has set a goal to visit all 50 states….eventually. 😊 Our first new state of the year was Oklahoma. It may be surprising that we’ve never visited this neighboring state, but it was definitely not a hop and a skip away from us. It was a 6.5-hour drive from Austin, most of which was spent driving through our ginormous home state. 

We’ve also decided to make our travel more adventurous this year by staying in more unique accommodations. After searching for unique stays in OKC, we stumbled upon the Orr Family Farm, which features temperature-controlled 19th-century teepees and Conestoga wagons. While booking, we couldn’t decide which one we wanted to spend the weekend in, so we thought, why not try both! Curious about what it’s like to sleep in a teepee and wagon? Check out our tour of both of these unique dwellings on our YouTube channel.  

Day 1

Our first stop in OKC was the wheeler district, where we got great pictures in front of the OKC sign and saw the huge Ferris wheel, which formerly belonged to the Santa Monica Pier. We then headed to the farm to get checked into our teepee before going to dinner at Pops 66. Pops 66 is a fun and vibrant restaurant that also includes a gas station and convenience store with tons of bottled soda! They seriously offer just about every flavor of bottled soda you could think of!

Day 2

We decided to start our second day by exploring the farm. We were one of only two families occupying the farm while we were there, and we truly enjoyed feeling as if we had the whole place to ourselves! We took full advantage of the fire pit right outside of our teepee and wagon and the s’more kits that the farm provided each day of our stay. Since we visited in January, the farm activities were closed to the public, but they were open for guests! We were amazed to have 15 plus fun farm activities at our disposal, including pedal cars, bouncy pads, an obstacle course, huge slides, a playground, and much more! The farm also provided animal feed each day which allowed us to feed the llamas, horses, donkeys, and goats.

Later that afternoon, we decided to venture off the farm and explore OKC. We were absolutely blown away by all there was to do! We first traveled to Scissortail Park to grab lunch at Spark and try their infamous pink fries. From there, we took a short 5-minute walk to the Myriad Botanical Gardens. Some of it was closed while we were in town, but we were able to stroll the outdoor grounds, and Kennedy had such a fun time at the garden playground. That evening, we headed down to Bricktown, a lively entertainment district filled with fun shops and restaurants. We took a tour of the area via a Bricktown Water Taxi while also receiving a brief OKC history lesson. We capped off our evening with a trip to Factory Obscura, a very unique immersive art exhibit just a short drive from Bricktown. 

We really enjoyed exploring OKC! The city definitely offers something for everyone.
