Around the World in One Weekend!

Hi Everyone! All is well here in OKC and I am finally settled in.

I took a three day mini-vacation this weekend and had quite the inter-continental experience. My best friend from college Kim Wilkerson and her awesome husband Phil asked us to go to Dallas with them and none of us realized at the time what an awesome trip we were in for. First we started off on Friday traveling to Dallas to see the King Tut exhibit (awesome), then from Egypt we went to a German restaurant for lunch (extremely awesome) then from Germany we headed to our hotel called NYLO that's short for New York Loft - very cool loft rooms with a real NY look and very cool furnishings. For dinner we went to OLEA a Mediterranean tapas restaurant, my first time to try tapas (yummy), then back to our New York hotel for the night where I went straight to the gym for an hour workout. Then for Breakfast we happened on a french bakery (too too awesome) and from France we headed shopping at the IKEA store which is a cool Swedish shopping experience - it had a restaurant in side and we had a Swedish lunch there - it took 4 hours to get through the store. Then we headed back to OKC for the night and went to my friends' Church called PASSIONCHURCH - great sermon by their youth pastor on the need to embrace change in our lives in the areas that we have developed bad habits. Then we went to see a Neil Diamond (I got free tickets from work) concert Sunday evening - a good old Brooklyn boy. So lets see - Egypt, Germany, New York, The Mediterranean, New York, France, Sweden, OKC, New York - all in 55 hours!

Needless to say I'm exhausted and glad to be back at work so I can rest!=-)
Blessings to All! Kari
