The family and I were going over options and the budget to see what we could do as far as a weekend trip or fall break getaway. After talking it over we decided we'd do a little vacationing or staycationing in Medicine Park, OK. It's just a quick 15-25 minute drive from Lawton, Fort SIll so it certainly won't break the budget.

There are tons of things to see and do there. Plus throughout the fall and winter months, they have all kinds of special events and festivals going on. There are places to stay, or you could do a daycation and come back to the house if you wanted to. I think we'll book a room, maybe a cabin, and make a weekend of it.
