Oklahoma Float Trip

While staying in Tulsa, OK for the summer, we have also had several opportunities as a cast to take breaks from rehearsing and performing shows. On our day off, some of my close friends from Light Opera Oklahoma decided to take a float trip down the Illinois River in Tahlequah, OK, a city about an hour and half away from Tulsa. It was a ton of fun! For thirteen bucks a person, we were able to rent an inner tube and travel down the Illinois River for three and a half hours. Luckily, we packed food and ice cold beverages to help get through that amount of time. I truly felt like Huck Finn traveling down that river and seeing fish and river rocks along the way. There were several areas along the way where we could stop and take a snack break and skip rocks as well as swing from ropes and jump into the river. It was my first float trip down a river and if you haven't taken one, I would highly recommend it! On the other hand, the fun here in Tulsa, OK is winding down to a rapid end. I have about nine more days here until I return back home to Wichita. Then, as a family, we will be taking off for Las Vegas, Nevada and North Carolina to visit family and friends! I can't wait!
