Get your kicks! // A Route 66 diner experience

Hi friends! Danielle here.


I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend. Springing forward can be rough (6am came extra early on Sunday!), but let's just focus on the longer / sunnier days ahead, shall we?

We had a rad weekend - we took a minute to check out a diner on Route 66, and enjoyed another First Friday Art Crawl in the Brady District.

First, the diner.

And I'll be completely honest about how I found out about this place.

Do you know who Taylor Hanson is? Right, right... I knew you would.

Well, he's one of our local celebrities here in T-town. So of course I follow him on Insta. Every now and then, he'll post a pic from a local restaurant, etc., and last week he posted a pic from Tally's Good Food Cafe . After checking out the review of Tally's on Yelp, I figured it was worth checking out.

*** Side note: If this was some other celeb, like Ryan Adams, I know this would all seem a little stalker-like. But I swear, I'm not a Taylor Hanson stalker - I just want to find more 'where the locals eat' kind of places. Haha.

And, thank you, Taylor Hanson. We enjoyed it.

Here are some pics from the fun little diner on Route 66:

Regulars or just passin' through on Route 66? 

Here's a fun thing about Tally's: You can get breakfast all day (score)! So I enjoyed a veggie omelet. And I figured I was being healthy-ish, until I realized it came with a choice of potatoes AND pancakes or biscuits and gravy (All for $7.95, no less!). And covered with cheese. Oops! #sorrynotsorry

Jett didn't appreciate waiting for me to take pics for this post... (He had the kids' pancakes.)

And a few pics from the First Friday Art Crawl: From top to bottom - Philbrook Downtown, 108 Contemporary and the Woody Guthrie Center (which we didn't make it to last time, but I'm glad we did on Friday - way cool!)

Weekend Agenda // First Friday Art Crawl

Hi friends! Danielle here.

I don't know about you, but I love a new month. Especially a new month that promises a new season! A new month means new possibilities, new plans, new hope and, with this month, all those fun things that come along with Spring (aaaaaCHOoo!).

A new month also means a First Friday Art Crawl in the Brady District here in Tulsa. This month's event is scheduled for Friday, 6-9pm.

In the words of Stefan, this event has it all - glass blowing, wine, free gallery admission and sometimes even a knitted Batman suit.

It's an event that the whole family can enjoy - Last month, The Gathering Place brought along a sneak peek via their Park Pod (Jett really enjoyed it!), which I hear will be making an appearance on Friday, as well.

So, do it! If not just to get out an about and walk around the lovely Brady District for a bit. Last month was our first time to enjoy the art crawl, and we left wondering what took us so long to check it out.

Here are some photos from last month's art crawl:

To be honest, the first couple galleries we stopped in were nice, but they were quite crowded and a little difficult to maneuver through, especially with a stroller. But alas, we trekked on. And I'm glad we did, as the next stop was super cool: Tulsa Glassblowing School. First of all, they were in the middle of a demonstration, so that was exciting (FIRE!); Secondly, the space itself is fun/inspiring. Definitely stop by this Friday when you're making your way through the art crawl.

Here's a shot from inside the Park Pod which is called an "immersive multimedia experience" by the Tulsa World, that "gives visitors a panoramic view of plans for the expansive community park. The virtual tour of envisioned park spaces provides visitors a glimpse into the future as to what the park will look like once it is completed in late 2017."

You might notice a few people laying on the astro turf inside the Park Pod. We were chillin' in the bean bag chairs, taking in the panoramic views and Beatles tune. So psychedelic. 

So, this was at the Philbrook Downtown (another must on your list of galleries to visit this Friday). Very weird, but Jett was super intrigued. 

More from the Philbrook Downtown...

At 108 Contemporary (our last stop of the evening - be sure to stop by there, too!), Jett saw his kind of art...

... Which was for sale! I think it was listed around $3,000, if you're interested.

Enjoy! XO
