My birthday weekend in KC!

Hi peeps! I have a lot of blogging to catch up on! Just got back from a fabulous bachelorette party in Dallas and have TONSA pics (I can tell you're excited..). But, I wanna go in order...and I still haven't posted Kansas City from last weekend. And uh.. it was totally my birthday weekend so I can't just skip over it b/c I know I'll want to look back on it. :) 

Sooooo my party (the last post) was Thursday evening and I had a great dinner with my mom on Friday night to celebrate the big three-oh! Saturday morning, Eric and I headed to KC in our own fabulously leisurely pace.. We got there, shopped a little, and then got ready for dinner. :) Since my bday was Sunday and lots of places were gonna be closed, we opted for a nicer/fun dinner on Saturday night... We hit up La Bodega for some fabulous tapas! We were seriously fat kids. And I don't mean thin kids eating a little bit more than usual. I mean contestants on the biggest loser. Seriously. It was ridiculous and amazing. 

Before we gorged ourselves. :) Drinking white sangria! YUM

Woke up Sunday (MY BDAY!!) and headed to brunch! It was raining, but I didnt care. It cooled things off quite a bit anyway...

 We'd gotten some recs to hit up The Classic Cup on the plaza for brunch. And um.. we-once again-were complete and total fat kids. We each ordered omelets. And then decided we needed pancakes. And then an order of bacon. Holy calorie intake!

 The rest of the day was spent shopping around a little more... We really didn't need anything, but were just kinda enjoying kicking back and exploring, especially once the rain cooled things off... :)

Hit up Blanc Burgers and Bottles for dinner...and it was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had... Cool decor. Fabulous food... Tonsa different types of soda and beer...side orders come in mini shopping carts... Yeah.. Highly recommend!

 Then we headed to see this..

...and it was awesome.... 

Annnd the most fabulous thing! Guess what Eric got me for my bday... Well, you're kinda looking at it so you don't have to guess but I'll tell you... When we toured the Designer Showcase home here a month or so ago, I'd fallen in love with a vintage, ornate, silver jewelry box.. I almost bought it, but then waffled and decided I didn't need it. I'm kinda sorta obsessed with funky little boxes like this, especially silver ones... I just think it's beautiful! Anyhoo, I guess he somehow went back and got it...which was quite a feat b/c things were selling left and right so I have no idea how he was able to get it.... But I absolutely love it! :) So thoughtful... :)

So that was my bday weekend! Seriously, one of my top three birthdays ever... Might even be the top birthday ever....:) Thank you so much for the sweet words wishing me a happy one and thoughtful comments about my party! :) I know I've ranted a lot about my birthday, so thanks for bearing with me... I wanted to make sure I captured it all so I could revisit it lata...

More posts coming!
