Oh, THIS is Camping (Tell Me About It Tuesday!)

Wrong is a good way to start with how I'm feeling.
On Friday I posted about how I was going camping and thought it would be lame, cold and terrible. 
Oh, I hate to admit how wrong I was.
I can only describe my camping trip as wonderful. 
This is because we were not in tents, but in gorgeous luxury cabins in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. 

A girlfriend and I drove up Friday night and I had a sniffly nose and a little sore throat. Plus a bad attitude since I thought my birthday weekend I was going to be roughing it. 

As we pulled up, I saw a beautiful 2 story, wooden cabin equipped with 2 queen beds and 4 bunk beds. Perfect size for our group. The inside was still decorated with a Christmas theme (which made me happy) and inside was warm with a full kitchen, couches, tv, a fire place, balconies and...a hot tub.

Oh, this is going to be a good weekend after all.
Wildwood cabin is where it's at.
Michael and I stayed up on the second story and had a beautiful balcony to look out.

On Saturday some of the boys woke up early to go fishing. 
I woke up at 1:30pm. It was glorious. And maybe the latest I've slept since drinking heavily in a while.
It was a rainy day so we couldn't go hiking (well, I couldn't anyway with a broken ankle) or canoeing like we planned. But I had no problem with that.
We made a fire and played catchphrase (also a good drinking game) and also attempted a 1,000 piece puzzle. It did not get finished.

We went to a local restaurant for dinner.

Best Pizza in town
We also celebrated my birthday with some surprise cupcakes!

This was a perfect, relaxing weekend with friends.

If you are near or around the Oklahoma area (or even if you're not) and want a beautiful, relaxing (or adventurous) vacation spot I would HIGHLY recommend it.
You can check out our cabin (Wildwood Cabin) here and there are other gorgeous cabins here.

Sheeeit! That looks awesome. I thought you meant camping, like outside in 106 degree weather like the shit my husband pulled last summer. I lasted one night, and came back at the end of the weekend to pick him up.
Glad y'all had fun!! :)

The place you stayed at during your camping sure is something I and my friends should try staying at. The design and the overall structure of it makes me want to build my own treehouse, though I think it'll be more fun to have it somewhere near the shore or the woods. Well, I just want you to know that, I like the place and yeah, I like everything. It's definitely a must try for me, thanks for the idea by the way. S.H.
