Because I sometimes think like a 12-year old boy child, we ended up having the best day trip! Jared and I planned on heading to Jefferson, TX and spend the day. I have been there before once, but I ended up having to come right back once I got there. It is full of historical landmarks, a large bricked outdoor market, a drive thru safari, an old General Store, and I know of 3 restaurants within 30 minutes that I had visited before and loved. We leave when I get off from work Monday evening, drive to Jefferson, check in, and being late, our only option was McDonald's, and even that took 40 minutes. We ate, got in the bed, and then complained that it was too big and it actually took effort for us to find each other. Rising early Tuesday morning, we already knew that the weather was going to be treacherous, so Jared said "you wanna drive to Broken Bow, OK?" Why of course I do! Our only goal was just to drive around, go to a town we haven't been to, find some food, and take the long way home. I legit only wanted to spend the day with him, I didn't care of the specifics. Right outside of Broken Bow I start looking at restaurants. And being a prepubescent child, I saw Beaver's Bend Restaurant. Of COURSE I want to go to a place with "Beaver" in the title. Driving into town, I saw a sign that said Beaver's Bend State Park, so on our way out, we were going to drive through it. As soon as we ascend the first hill, Jared was like damn, this is just like being home only higher. But it was one of the best decisions. This place was beautiful. We knew that we didn't have long to stay, because we were 4 hours from home, but, just wow. I am already online trying to find a cabin so we can go back and spend a few days. I am ready to go back and spend a couple of days!
