This last leg of our journey would take us out of Tulsa completely. After we had breakfast and checked out of our hotel, we headed north.
We took back country roads, cutting across the scenic Skiatook Lake to reach the small town of Hominy. Our destination was the Drummond Home, a beautiful home built in 1905 by Mr. Fred Drummond.
I love old homes, especially those that are furnished with items that are original to the residence! Our guide, Beverly, led us through the three floors, sharing stories about the family and what life was like at the time. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, even laughing that she knew the Drummond family better than her own! It was one the best home tours I've ever taken!
After leaving the Drummond House, we needed to make good time. While I still wanted to take back roads instead of the highway, we had a deadline as far as our next destination. Unlike the previous day, it was a great time for a long drive: the sky was blue, the clouds were white & fluffy, and the road stretched out before us!
The last part of our Road Trip took us to Lawton for our semi-monthly Dresden Files RPG sessions. We've been playing with the Red Dirt Roleplayers for over a year now. It's usually quite a drive from Denton and back, but it's a great group and we have a blast. We got checked into our hotel and had just enough time to grab a quick bite to eat before that night's game started.
We got back to the hotel late that night, although not as late as if we'd had to drive back to Denton! We slept in as long as possible the next day, relishing a relatively lazy day as we made our way home. All in all, we had a magnificent time in Oklahoma ... and we didn't even get to see everything that we thought we might. I certainly think there is another trip north in our future!
