Our "Babymoon"

Steve and I have been talking about spending a weekend away together before the little man comes in a couple of months. Aubrey is old enough now to stay with Grandma and Grandpa and we don't have a newborn yet that needs our attention....so what does that mean? Babymoon!

No, we're not jetting off to the Bahamas ( although anyone willing to contribute to such a trip is more than welcome), we're actually just spending the weekend in Downtown Kansas City, but I am still so excited!

Grandma and Papa Kent are watching Aubrey and we will go down Friday night to our romantic hotel on the Plaza ( a fun outdoor shopping/restaurant destination downtown that is styled after Spanish architecture complete with full European fountains). The Plaza has one of the biggest light displays around during the holidays and the lights stay lit through this weekend : )

We are staying at the newly - remodeled The Raphael Hotel in a suite overlooking the Country Club Plaza.

We're going to use our Christmas gift card to PF Changs (Thanks Jason and Crystal) to enjoy some delicious lettuce wraps and toddler-free dining, and then maybe pop over to the Melting Pot for their famous chocolate fondue for dessert.

Then we plan on sleeping in and spending Saturday however we want! There are art museums, eclectic shops, delicious restaurants, and plenty of other undiscovered sites for us to explore. I'm sure the time will go by so quickly, but just the thought of a whole day spent together just doing what we please on a whim sounds heavenly! We have been so busy lately with church callings, parenting, work, and regular old life that we are so excited to have this little marriage battery recharge this weekend.

So if you need us, you'll know where to find us....but try not to look too hard, ok? : )
