So, I've been slacking again.... I really should stay on top of this blogging thing... so much happens in a house of 4 kids, how can I NOT have anything to write about??
Two weeks ago, Tim and I escaped the reality that is our life...we went to Kansas City for 2 whole days! IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN! We left the kids at home with my mom & MIL...not sure they had as much fun as Tim and I did! LOL....
We left on that Friday afternoon. Got into KC just after rush hour...THANK GOD because we used map directions from Expedia & they got us LOST in KC... 2 times. SO, glad we weren't trying to figure out our way around there during rush hour! Good news though: after getting lost 2 times in KC & having to try to figure out my way on my own, I was pretty much all set for the rest of the weekend.... I knew my way around w/o any trouble!!
SO, anyways, on Friday night we went to the Skies Restaurant. It was AMAZING! It is a revolving restaurant that sits on top of a hotel in the middle of downtown KC! It's 500 feet above ground- when it rotates you can see the whole city! Since we were there at night, it was VERY romantic! All the city lights were so pretty...the ambiance was worth the money!! As you can probably imagine, it wasn't a cheap date!!
Saturday morning we woke when we woke...NO kids saying "mommy...daddy"- that was the best! We went to Quik Trip for breakfast.... that WAS a cheap date! LOL!!! Then we went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum. For anyone who's been to the Philbrook in Tulsa, this museum was like the Philbrook on steroids! IT WAS HUGE! Plus, it's free admission... always a good thing! We spent several hours there- loving every moment! These are my favorites:
statue &
picture. After the museum, we went to the movie theater to see The Last Song...loved it! After the movie we went to Barnes & Noble & I bought a book. Now, ordinarily, I wouldn't include such a seemingly insignificant detail, but I can count ON ONE HAND how many times I have bought MYSELF a book! This was such a momentous occasion that Tim took a picture! LOL!!
After the bookstore, we went to dinner at one of the MANY casinos that KC has to offer! Dinner was super yum!
Sunday started like Saturday: peaceful, quiet, & CHILDLESS! We didn't do much on Sunday; just went out for breakfast at another casino...it was yum too! Then we got on the road to head home! We ate lunch at Panda Express- it was yum too! Got home around 4pm (an hour earlier than my mom expected) ... so my mom was pleasantly surprised to be relieved from babysitting duty! Since we got home during naptime, we got to ease our way back into reality.... the kids woke up sporadically over the first hour that we were home! We spent the evening just hanging out with the kids! Loving every moment with the kids, but SO VERY REFRESHED after our weekend away!
