We got back from Tulsa this afternoon and we're pretty tired. It was a quick trip, but a nice get-away nonetheless. The concert was A-MAZ-ING!!! It was a huge check off my list of things to do in my life! I was pretty star-struck~I couldn't believe I was in the same room (a huge arena) with those 2 amazing legends!
Headed into downtown Tulsa:
We flew by the seat of our pants and (which is VERY unlike us) and landed at a nice hotel downtown, only 5 minutes from the BOK Center where the concert was. We planned to stay at a cheap shanti since we'd only be there one quick night, but we decided to splurge at the last minute. It was nice to stay within walking distance of the arena and have a nice restaurant and even a Starbucks inside our hotel.
For dinner, we ate at a casual, fun restaurant in Utica Square that was serving (Very) green margaritas for St. Patrick's Day. I had a few of those-I couldn't resist, they were only 99 cents! Then we went back to the hotel and since we had some time to waste before heading to the concert, we stopped in the hotel bar and may have had another margi...Then I started snapping pictures of us in the mirror:
We were really impressed with the BOK Center. It was a huge, beautiful facility.
The 2 pianos floated up from under the stage...
If you know me, you know that I want to take my camera outside and smash it into a million little pieces. This is why:
Elton is on the left, Billy on the right. (Our concert pics suck!)
I cannot put into words how awesome this concert was! Hit after hit-I was singing and screaming for about 3.5 hours, so I was hoarse by the time it ended. Worth the trip!
