Downtown Tulsa Skyline
In my last post I went in search of quality mother-daughter time in Muskogee. The same basic kinds of things can be found in Tulsa, only on a grander scale. One of the dad bloggers mentioned in the comment section that going to Tulsa was a special treat when he was a kid, and I think that is a fond memory for many of us. For some of us, jetting back and forth to Tulsa with our teenagers has now become expected, de rigeur even. If your daughter plays soccer, takes ballet lessons or vocal lessons, you are probably in Tulsa two or three times a week.
Here are some fun things to do in T - Town with your daughter. These are all things I have immensely enjoyed doing with my daughter throughout the years and hope to continue enjoying for many years to come!
1. Start the day off by eating breakfast or lunch at Queenie's in Utica Square. Breakfast on Saturday or Sunday is a special treat and lunch anytime is always delicious! Now that the weather is warmer, there will be more seating available!
2. A visit to Philbrook Art Museum and grounds is a good substitute for a trip to a major metropolitan area. With the renovated grounds you could almost think you had taken your
daughter on a trip to Italy!

3. Shopping for some fun and funky clothes - try Chrome at 18th and Boston. If you or your daughter are OU or OSU fans, they have some vintage tees from the '70's that are very tempting, even at $65! Almost as good a selection of jeans as at SAKS.
4. Drive around and look at the houses. The same as in Muskogee, just more of them and bigger.
Maple Ridge Historic District has some grand old houses.
5. Speaking of houses, the upcoming Designer Showcase home tour in Tulsa features this Italian villa at 22nd and Madison. It should be great fun, especially if your daughter wants to be an interior designer or architect!

There are so many more things to do in the greater Tulsa area than I have even touched on. But, it's only springtime - summer could hold a whole different set of fun activities, not just for you and your daughter, but for the whole family!
