Spring Saturday.

On Saturday Quinn and I decided to go on a day date/adventure. We started the day out by going to Ginger Sue's for breakfast, and we totally pigged out. After Ginger Sue's we drove into Kansas City and went downtown to the Nelson Atkins Art Museum. We walked around the museum for a really long time and got some awesome pictures. I felt so cultured as I stood next to Claude Monet's, Mill at Limetz. Quinn's favorite part of the museum was the ancient Egyptian section. My favorites are the oil paintings on canvas from the Renaissance era. Needless to say, we were very hip with our camera and pic taking. Also, I totally rocked my cape since my spring afternoon was a little colder than expected. 

I urge you to try your best not to laugh at my "angry faces" where I was attempting to perfect the soft smile. It's harder than it looks. After the Nelson, Quinn and I went to Station Coffee, and then stopped by Half Price Books in Old Westport. If you've never been, you must go. I could spend countless hours in that bookstore. I just peruse the aisles and look through the most random of books. Quinn stayed buried in the Historical section along with all of the books on presidential history. After the bookstore we went home and enjoyed some nice dinner and a movie. Overall, it was a pretty great Saturday. (:

First Friday's

Two weekends ago, I went to First Friday's in Kansas City with my best friend Lexy. We had so much fun and I was super glad we got to hang out since we hadn't seen each other in a while. We started out by driving down to the West Bottoms in downtown KC. We grabbed some coffee and a cookie from the CoffeeCakeKC food truck (which was so yummy) and then we hit up some of our favorite shops. My favorites include Bella Patina, Good Juju, and TopHat Mercantile. We shopped around and looked at some cute vintage finds. Surprisingly I didn't buy anything, but Lexy found a couple of things, including a really cute camel-colored dress! Afterwards we tried to go to Westport to get some coffee or drinks at Tea Drops, but parking was a mess so we just decided to go back to Lee's Summit. We ended up grabbing lunch at Mint Sushi (my fave) and finished the day off from there.

If you've never gotten a chance to go to First Friday's I strongly encourage you to go and check it out, especially if you live in the KC area. If you aren't from Kansas City, you should definitely put it on your list of things to do for your next weekend getaway! You would be surprised by all of the great little places and restaurants you can find in KC.

That's all for today!
