My Week in Kansas City

We spent the week in Kansas City last week.

It had been a while since I had been up there, so I decided drive up on a Friday so that we could include a weekend as well.

Normally when I go to KC for the week, I drive up on Monday afternoon and come home Friday morning. But being gone over the weekend, I knew I would need to bring Poppy along too. She’s fine for a few days at home alone (Kelsey will usually come over and check on her mid-week), but she’s such a social cat that I was afraid an entire week would just be too long. So I loaded her up in the kennel and let her ride shotgun.

Clearly she was traumatized by the whole ordeal. <insert wink here.>

I’m also happy to report that Daisy didn’t seem too upset about having Poppy in Kansas City.

As you can see, my week was v e r y exciting. I won’t bore you to tears with the play by play {you’re welcome}, but instead I’ll just tell you this…

It was frigidly cold and I mostly stayed inside taking pictures.

I did go out one evening when the temperature was slightly warmer than the arctic circle – as always, love me some golden hour glow.

Tripp and I also went out to dinner in downtown Kansas City one evening.

I am big fan of Lidia’s Kitchen on OETA Create, so when I found out she has a restaurant in KC, it was definitely someplace I wanted to try. And it did not disappoint! Tripp had the pasta trio and I had the butternut squash ravioli. I tried not to make disgusting slurping sounds as I inhaled my food – it was so delicious!

Sidenote: Dear Daddy…don’t knock it till you try it. <wink>

All joking aside though, the truth of the matter is that life in KC isn’t that really all that much different than life in OK. Tripp goes to work and I work from home. I go to the store and make dinner and fold clothes and keep the house clean(ish).

It was a good week, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to spend it with Tripp. I am proud of us for making this situation work.

Love, Kelly
