Returning customer!

We stay at the Thunderbird Lodge for our annual trip to the Medieval Faire of Norman. It is perfect for us. Dog friendly and a small kitchen to heat breakfast and make lunches for the day. Mel is a gem and makes sure we have everything we need.

Nostalgic. Like walking back into the 80’s, in a good way. I wished we had time to stay longer. Would do an extended stay there and have everything needed in a motel room.
