So You're Ditching Shawnee? Hold on to Your Stetson, There's a City Out There for You!
Let's face it, Shawnee, Oklahoma is a charming little town. But hey, maybe you're craving a bit more city slicker action, or perhaps the allure of a different kind of countryside calls your name. Whatever your reason for seeking pastures (or should we say prairies?) new, fret not, my friend! There's a whole metropolitan menagerie just a hop, skip, and a jump from Shawnee.
Eastward Bound: Where History Meets Hi-Jinks
Head east on I-40 and in a flash (well, about 45 minutes to be precise), you'll find yourself in the heart of Oklahoma City, a metropolis with a surprising amount of personality. Explore the Bricktown entertainment district, where you can catch a live show, refuel with some delicious grub, and maybe even ride a mechanical bull (yeehaw!). If museums are more your speed, OKC boasts a collection that will leave you speechless, from the Oklahoma City Museum of Art to the mind-bending Science Museum Oklahoma.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
But Wait, There's More! The Great Escape to the Great Outdoors
Feeling a little more outdoorsy? Then Shawnee's neighbors to the north and south won't disappoint. Mosey on over to Tecumseh (yes, that's really the name!), a quaint town nestled amidst rolling hills and perfect for a weekend bike ride or a picnic in the park. Need a bigger dose of nature? Head south to Lake Eufaula, a fisherman's paradise and a haven for water enthusiasts of all kinds. Cast a line, rent a pontoon boat, or simply soak up the sun on the shores of this sparkling gem.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
