A Little Break

I got the chance to take a "girls trip"! It was a quick one. 27hrs to be exact! But every minute was enjoyable.
We headed to K.C.
Originally it was a plan formulated to get a friend out of town that is needing some stress free time right now.
However due to it being December and Christmas approaching at warp speed it only ended up being two of us.
We flaked on each other and said we weren't going to do it.
Too much money. Not enough time. Lots to get done at home. Kids will freak. Blah Blah Blah
But our husbands actually changed our minds and said we should go for it!

 I bid on a room on priceline.com....and we ended up getting one at the Crowne Plaze Hotel!!!

It was very nice. Not exactly the easiest thing to get to. Well not for two redneck country girls anyway. But very close to the Plaza. And everything that surrounded it was beautiful.

This was the view out of our window if you looked to the left

we had to park in a parking garage at the hotel
this was actually our view from where we parked

church near the hotel
it was shiny and pretty :)

We did some shopping at the Legend's Mall, Cabelas, Plaza and Oak Park Mall
We ate a reeeeally late dinner last night at the Cheesecake Factory on the Plaza

We split a piece of Strawberry Cheesecake after we ate our meal.
And it was A-mazing. MMMmmmm smack smack dElicious!

We actually didn't have to park to far away

I snapped this picture while walking back to where we parked. 

It gives you just a small taste of the lights

I don't have any "fun" pictures.  I didn't want to lug my camera around from store to store.  But we did a lot of browsing, a little bit of buying, lots of talking and lots of laughing.

We really had a wonderful time.  It was such a treat for us Mommies. And much needed :)
