Critique my "local info"

Wedding is this weekend! And of course I'm doing last minute crud, haha...

Here are the places I have as sort of things to do/places to go/stuff to eat for all of our OOT guests. It will be going on a little welcome newsletter that we'll drop off at the hotels. I tried to keep it to places that would be relatively easy to get to from our location (Union Hill), and places that David and I like to go.

Let me know what you think!

I know you already have 2 BBQ places mentioned but Oklahoma Joe's is a popular one - it was on Man vs. Food on the Travel Channel.

For mine, I also have listed Liberty Memorial/WWI museum and Worlds of Fun - it's still open - for a couple family options.

Otherwise, it all looks great! I love that you included a description for the food.

Are you getting excited?!!?!

Oh, I forgot the Liberty Memorial! I think some of my family will like that

And... I'm excited, but also can't believe how much left I have to do. My mom keeps saying "well, are we still going to do this this and this?" and I have to tell her no, where the heck am I going to find time for that? lol

How about you??

That looks awesome!  I definitely like that you gave descriptions of everything.  You have everything I included and then some.  Nice work!

Have fun this week and weekend girls!  I'm sure it'll be a blast!

Yes! It finally hit me yesterday. I think I may need to invest in some sort of sleeping aid...haha

I can't believe we're 4 days away!! It went by really quick.

Kristen - Valerian root! It's a natural anti-anxiety treatment, and helps me relax at night. I pop two before I go to bed and sleep awesome. They smell so nasty though, haha
