Kansas City Here We Come!

Darren and I took a little Lovers Getaway to Kansas City! Its a 2 hour drive from Omaha and Darrens folks offered to watch the boys for us! It was a great getaway even t hough it was a short 24 hour trip it was well worth the wait!
Since we were only there for a day and all the malls {3} we looked up and drove to were outdoors... and it was way too cold for a newborn..... we ended up turning our Getaway into a trip all about FOOD! YUMM!

The cutest and sweetest and BEST lil traveler ever!!

 

So we stopped by a well known out door mall first. We walked around for a little bit before going to lunch at a Brazilian Steakhouse which was AMAZING! Its way expensive but I think everyone should experience this type of dining! First, you sit right down and they give you a plat for the saladbar. Then they give you a chip with one side red and the other green. When you are ready for your main course {MEAT} you flip the chip to green. There are tons of servers caring around 16 different prepared meats. They have Lamb, Chicken, Pork and Beef! They come to your table and offer what they are carrying around and you say yes or no. We ended up having to flip our chip to red often because they flood your table and you get food so fast! {They also give you delicous sides and have a really yummy Brazilian Soda!}

After lunch we walked down to a fun bakery and got..... cupcakes of course!!! Then we decided it was too cold and we should check into our hotel! We took a short nap and got settled into our room and then went to explore the Crown Center. Turns out, it closes at 6 pm! So we did very little shopping! This is when we drove to 2 other malls hoping they were indoor with no luck, so instead I looked up a nice, romantic restaurant for Darren and I to eat dinner!

I choose an Italian restaurant called Jasper's! It was soo yummy and they even have the manager walking around talking to customers and asking how the food was. {I like restaurants that do this!} With Emery we got LOTS of attention from the manager, and pretty much everywhere we went. I will say that they had an amazing dessert! I highly reccommend this place!

Since we couldnt take a newborn to a theater, we decided to rent a movie in our hotel room instead!! So we got Les Miserables the musical version! I will admit that watching a movie in bed all snuggled up with my hubby and a newborn was, in my mind, lots more fun than going to a real theater anyways!

Another great part about our vacay was sleeping in until 10 the next day!! yay! Then we watched a little tv and got ready and checked up by noon! I really wanted to try this highly reccommended restaurant called The Fig Tree that serves brunch all day and has a nice little bakery! It was delicious! Their french toast is out of this world!

 For the road, Darren got a nice BIG Peanut Butter Brownie {2 of  his favorite things} and I ordered a Cookie Dough Cupcake! {Thats right! with a nice dollop of cookie dough on the inside AND right on top!!}

On  our way home Darren let me stop at Ulta and get lots of makeup things I needed {and wanted!} What a trooper! Of course he got a little delicious cologne for himself too! lol

And that was our super fun trip to Kansas City!
