A Weekend of Southern Culture

When Matt and I are in a new place for an extended period of time we like to make a list of things that we want to do before we leave, aka The Boudro Bucket List.  Since this is our last month of living the Oklahoma lifestyle, we decided that we would cross off some of our bucket list items and immerse ourselves in the different Southern culture around us.

We started the weekend antique shopping on Main Street in Duncan, Oklahoma. The town is very charming and everyone is super nice! Unfortunately nothing caught our eye but we definitely felt like we were on "American Pickers."

This was our favorite shop. It doubled as a banquet hall!

After all that shopping we were so hungry that we indulged in a classic around these neck of the woods, fried pie. What is a weekend in the south without trying some fried pie?! We went to the well known (at least down here) J & M's Original Fried Pies.

We went a little crazy and got a variety.

To top off this culture driven weekend, we went to Lawton Speedway. This 1/4 mile, clay/dirt track was more fun then I anticipated. We went with our good friends Erich and Diana and had a great time! Where else can you go and get $2.50 Coors Lights, people watch some of the most interesting people ("ankle" bracelets and jorts galore), and see amateur car racing?!


All in all we had a great weekend and look forward to the next adventure on The Boudro Bucket List!
