You guys, we had the BEST little trip to KC! The weather was perfect Friday and Saturday, we had lots of good food, family time, and left feeling rejuvenated. More importantly, our little nugget was an angel the whole time. As my Mom would say, What did you expect?
We left around 6:30AM on Friday and headed to Rob's office. It worked out great since he could work for a couple hours, we could get adjusted, and cut our trip by at least 20 min. Huston and I killed some time by going to Whole Foods to get Rob a lemonade and myself a giant chocolate chip scone for the trip. Don't let this smirk fool you, he cried the whole way there and back!
I was glad I held off on feeding him until right before we left, though, because about 10 minutes after we took off, this was our backseat view:
He didn't wake up until about 10 minutes before we got to our hotel! Seriously. He's pretty great. We got checked in then headed out to the sunshine!
BTW, our hotel was awesome. It's by Town Center Plaza but on the North side which we never really explored. Lots of cute shops, restaurants, etc. I would definitely recommend it! Even though we were back in our old stomping grounds it really felt like a getaway.
Our favorite spot was this little astroturf courtyard area. Huston clearly enjoyed it too!
After some successful shopping, we bopped over to visit Kristen. It's always fun to catch up with friends, especially when they give you a snazzy new hat!
Is he up to something or what?!
From there we headed to dinner at Coach's which was perfect since we could watch the beginning of the KU game. He even sat in a booster like a big boy! Kudos to Rob for getting us a table and ordering while I fed him. It made our visit go even smoother.
After dinner we strolled around and even had some gelato. What a great day! Huston even went right to sleep in his pack and play. (exhale.)
After playing in bed then breakfast Saturday morning, we headed to the pool. I can NOT get over this pic:
I'm glad I snapped this next pic quickly because ... well ... he didn't love it.
After showering and a quick nap, it was time to head to Papa Keno's for lunch. Rob has been "Kael-ing" this pizza for months. :) Obviously it was delicious and obviously Huston played drop-it with everything he could get his hands on. Poor Alan.
From there our fun-filled weekend continued at the Plaza! I was again pretty successful (is spending money considered successful?) at shopping and getting Huston to nap. He fought it hard but finally dropped off. After chomping my apple, of course.
I know you're not going to believe this, but there was even more fun to be had: off to Tyler and Jena's! Huston had so much fun playing with some munchkins his own size and all sorts of new toys! It was so good to see them. :)
Saturday night we ... tried a new restaurant! Gasp. It was delicious and we got to sit outside! Swoon. Then we checked out the aquarium store (for the second time) and soaked up our last night in KC.
Sunday morning we tried the pool again and he definitely tolerated it this time. We got packed up, hit Johnny's on the way out of town, and took off. He was great on the way home and we made it all the way to WDM before we had to stop. Overall it was a great trip and it really made us miss living "down south". Until next time my friends!
Bonus pic! Yep, that's everything carried up all in one trip. Oh, Rob and his hidden talents.
