Day 5 of the Adventures of the Vineyard Sisters + Mom

We then headed out for Oklahoma City to see the Memorial.   Wow, it was surreal.  You just can't imagine that one person could take out a building that size and kill so many innocent people, including so many young children. 






After leaving the memorial, we just happened to find another Harley Davidson store.   Then we were off to Wichita to meet up with Jackie and the girls for a late lunch.  What a way to finish off a perfect week.


Now that's what you call a road trip.

Day 4 of the Adventures of the Vineyard Sisters + Mom

Today we left San Antonio and headed North.   Now part of our adventure was stopping at Harley Davidson stores.   Mary collects poker chips that are different at each store.   We stopped at a total of 8 in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.



 We headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards but got there a little late, with all of our stops.  That's ok though, visiting all the Harley stores was fun. 



We then headed to the WinStar Casino for another fun night of gambling.

Day 3 of the Adventures of the Vineyard Sisters + Mom

Day 3 was no traveling!   Yippee.....well a little bit of time in the car.   We went to 540 Welton.  
That's where we lived when I was born.  How fun is that. 


We were lucky enough to be at the Alamo when there were having a ceremony to honor the veterans.   Super cool. 


I didn't realize you weren't suppose to take pictures inside so this is the only one I got.  



My mother was determined not to use her wheelchair!




I tried to get a picture in the same place Brad and I had ours taken years ago.  Well, the building isn't there any more.    Someone decided they needed to tear down a bunch of the buildings.   I'm happy to say that they are in the process of rebuilding and trying to put it back the way it was. 



We went on a boat cruise on the San Antonio River.  So beautiful and relaxing.

Day 2 of the Adventures of the Vineyard Sisters + Mom

We headed out going south to Waco Texas, home of "The Fixer Upper Show".  We were a little late getting to Magnolia Table and they were no longer accepting names for their list......we were so sad and somehow they got us in.   They were the nicest bunch of people.   We only had to wait about 5 minutes.

Also, it was a pretty special day.   Happy 84th Birthday to my Mom.  
Two cupcakes from Magnolia Table for the birthday girl. 











Those are made from scratch tator tots and biscuits.    Yummy





After lunch we went to the Silos where the store and bakery were.   Bakery line was way too long.  It's a good thing we got cupcakes at the restaurant.

Silos aren't actually open yet so I was a little disappointed in that.   Store was fun to browse though.






We then ran by Harp Design Co.  This is the company that does a lot of wood projects for 
Chip and Joanna Gaines.  They had some really cool items too.   Little out of my price range though.




We then traveled south west to San Antonio Texas.

Day 1 - The Adventures of the Vineyard Sisters

Day 1 of the adventures of the Vineyard Sisters + Mom.  Such exciting times riding for hours in a car with three other women........what was I thinking!   Actually it wasn't that bad, at least for me.  I had front row the entire time.   I don't know if the other 3 would agree that our car was comfortable.

Ok,  our adventure started by going to Pawhuska Oklahoma to see the Pioneer Woman Mercantile Store.

The food was great and the shopping fun.   Little bit too pricey for my taste but I did buy some measuring cups. 





Aren't my measuring cups pretty!


Mom checking out the menu.


I've got to get longer arms, or a selfie stick.



After a filling lunch and a bit of shopping, we travel south to the WinStar Casino,  World's Largest Casino.  We never did see the entire casino, it would have taken for ever to walk.   I spent my $20 and I was done.   It went pretty quick.

Here's mom enjoying the slots.


Then off to bed for another day of adventure.
