Oklahoma Beach Vibes

America continues to surprise me, in a good way! I can’t believe that a couple of hours drive can take me to so many different landscapes, and different experiences.  We recently took a day trip up to Ardmore in Oklahoma, to meet up with my daughter and her husband.

Then I found out that there really is a Cheesecake Factory and they don’t just serve cheesecakes,Continue reading “Cheesy Choices”
