Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
One of the best parts of our quick trip to Kansas City? Getting to see one of my oldest friends in the airport for a quick hug!
Loved seeing all these kiddos together…
They’ve all changed just a little since this picture…
Old friends are the best friends!
Sometimes you just have to say “yes” and we did just that last weekend! We were talking about how much fun we had at Taylor Swift in Atlanta and how much fun it would be to go again and we decided just to go again! We cooked up this plan on Thursday night, got a ticket hookup through Lyndsay, booked some flights, got a hotel room and a driver to take us to the show and we were on our way Saturday morning! Now, that makes it all sound very easy and it wasn’t quite that easy but…it was all worth it!
I think we had the most fun on Thursday night and Friday just getting ready for the adventure! Making bracelets, running around town for an outfit..getting excited!
Off we went very early Saturday morning!
We stayed downtown Kansas City and I can’t say there is much to do down there but we did take a trip to Flavortown and had lunch at Guy Fieri’s taco joint.
The library was cool!
I’d say we ended up with some perfect outfits thanks to Target (no surprise there!). We were ready!
I was very thankful we were able to find a driver to take us to and from Arrowhead Stadium. The traffic getting into the stadium was terrible and it took us an hour and a half to get from out hotel to the stadium – normally a 12 minute drive!
After our 5am ET wake up call, this little car nap in the traffic was needed!
But we finally made it and we were so excited to be there!
Our seats were awesome and a totally different view than what we had in Atlanta which was great.
Lots of bracelet trading…we had some good ones to give out! Most so good that Samantha didn’t want to give them out! 🙂
Some in our party appreciated certain sights more than others – Patrick Mahomes and the Lombardi Trophy! Go Chiefs!
We screamed and danced and sang until (almost) the last song! We ducked out a little early just as she was starting Karma so we could beat the crowd out and get to our car. That was the right decision with my tired crew. It was another epic show and I loved getting to see it again with my favorite people!!! I’m a Swiftie for life now!
It has most definitely not been a cruel summer!
We headed down to Naples on July 3rd to spend a week in our favorite place!
We played dominos…
Bought fireworks…
Ate at Skillets…
Went to the beach (just once because it was SO hot)…
Shot the fireworks on the 4th…
Swam in the pool a lot…
Went to see the new Indiana Jones movie…
Worked on some special crafts…
Went out to dinner at all our favorites…
and just enjoyed being with GJ who is doing great after her knee replacement!
We love Naples!
Last week, Spencer, Samantha and I packed up and headed down to Naples to check on the patient! GJ had knee replacement surgery two weeks ago. She’s doing great and well on the road to recovery but it sure was nice to check on her with our own eyes. We obviously had a great time in Naples.
We played a lot of dominoes…
plenty of Uno…
a little Mariokart…
and even some Bananagrams! Of course we went to Skillets…
and even made it to the beach once!
Most time was spent in the pool though…
We love Naples!
Skiing day 4! Last day, best day!
Bluebird skies, decent temps, perfect conditions!
Our only downside came late morning when Spencer had a collision! I was skiing behind them and watched it happen. Spencer had gone into a tree trail and came out of it onto the run just as an old man was coming down the far left side of the run. Spencer should have looked up and yielded but he was just going too fast and couldn’t stop. He skied on across while the man came down and they clipped skis and both went tumbling. Thankful no one was hurt. I got Spencer up and we skied down and apologized to the old man. He was skiing with what I assume were his two grown sons. They didn’t seem too happy with us but the old man said he was fine and so on we went. Spencer was not hurt but definitely shaken up. A good learning lesson for all!
Lunch break!
Just a little worn out by our last afternoon on the slopes!
But we still made it a full day and skied until the lifts closed!
We grabbed dinner in the village that night and then it was time to head home the next morning!
Thankfully our flights were on time. It was a little touch and go getting out of Aspen but, after de-icing the plane, we were able to take off and made it to Atlanta in plenty of time for our connection. Thankful for time away with my favorite people doing something we all enjoy! Best spring break ever!!
