Never in a bajillion years would I have ever guessed that Oklahoma City would be hosting a regatta festival. But with the regeneration of downtown in the past few years, things have changed and then boom — there’s a thousand people downtown enjoying the night sprints.  We attended it a couple of years ago, but with the completion of the new boathouses sponsored by Devon Energy and Chesapeake, things have ramped up quite a bit.  Heck, even the Winklevoss twins showed up this year! (And if you don’t know who the Winklevoss guys are, it’s time to queue up The Social Network on Netflix.)

Friday night was date night for the Mister and I, so after an earlybird dinner (seriously – we were done by 5:45. Blue plate special, anyone?), we cruised through downtown to the river where the sun was starting to set and Oklahoma looked particularly beautiful.  I’m just loving where our city is headed!

Let’s have a party up here sometime – wouldn’t that be grand?
