Day 397, Looking at houses and the OU football game

Robin was out the door at 7am for a morning of being pampered and Brad had his Saturday morning breakfast with a good friend.  I was left to fend for myself I slept in until 7:45am.  I got up and went for a swim in the pook and started to hose off the patio and furniture in preperation for their party tomorrow.

Today Brad had also arranged for us to go looking homes for sale in the historic Herritage Hills area of Oklahoma City.  These homes were all built in the early 1900's to 1920's and are large stately homes ranging from 3,800 to 6,000 square feet.  Some of the home had been completely renovated and others need some major work.  The prices ranged from $680,000 to $1.6 million.  It was a lot of fun to see these home, but I wasn't so sure any of them would be right for Robin and Brad.

After house hunting we had some quality pool time and then got ready to go to the opening Oklahoma University game against Tulsa.  We headed out around 4:15pm and headed to downtown Oklahoma City to pick up a friend of Robin and Brad's who just bought an entire floor of a historic building downtown that was converted to a beautiful appartment.  We were given a tour of the empty apartment and it was spectacular.  The view was amazing and the space was awesome.  When it is all furnished it will be a truly one of a kind home.

Oklahoma also has a new skyscraper being built, the 50 story, $700 million, Devon Energy building.  The skyline of OKC has a new landmark and the tower is going to be spectacular.

We got to the OU game with  no problems and there was very little traffic.  Brad could not believe there were no issues and how fast we got there.  We had VIP parking and would be watching the game from a suite. OU games are a lot of fun to watch and the support from the community and the entire state is very evident.  You can't help but feel the energy and you want to cheer.  OU, was playing Tulsa and they won the game.  We snuck out just before the end so we could beat the traffic.

We got home about 11:30pm and we all commented on what a fun day it had been. The heatwave was finally over and the temperature had dropped to the low 70's and a thunder storm was blowing through. 

It is going to be a nice night for sleeping and fun to watch the storm.
