My trip to KC!

Two weeks after getting settled in to PI, I flew to KC to visit Kelly and Chloe..................ALONE!!!!!!

It was an awesome and much needed break! Oh, and we had a BLAST too, of course! Kelly's hubby, Chad went to Bali for a business trip (I need that job) and since Kelly and CC couldn't go, he flew me there to spend a week and keep his girls company! Not only did he fly me there, but he also sent us on a girls WEEKEND out as well! His mom watched CC for the weekend so Kel and I could live it up! I got in Fri. night and we headed to Kohls then back to the house. The next morning we ran our first 5k together and finished in 30 mins flat! The race benefited a family of 3 children with a rare disease and went thru a beautiful lake front neighborhood. Afterwards we hit the spa where Chad pre-arranged facials and massages for us BOTH! It was AMAZING, especially after my recent move and our really recent 5k :) Later we shopped, had lunch and got a mani/pedi! That night we got all hookered up and headed into the city! Chad AGAIN surprised us with a SWEET hotel SUITE and a pre-paid trolley all evening to go wherever we wanted! We had a delicious dinner at PF Changs and then headed down to the Power and Light District! Power and Light was definitely cool (tons of bars and restaurants outside under a GIANT roof with a DJ and band. However, I think we had more fun riding the trolley everywhere and taking hilarious pics of ourselves. I probably have 100, but only posted a few here! I'm sure the people around us thought we were either wasted or freaks, but we're actually just that silly and ask us if we care!!! :) On Sun. we slept in and then had lunch and picked up CC. The rest of the week we spent at the park, going to the gym, more shopping, watching movies, reading, laying out on the deck and of course LAUGHING............A LOT! We de-cluttered some of Kelly's cabinets and I gave her lessons on her Kitchen-Aid while making chocolate chip cookies! I wish I could visit more often, better yet............I wish I lived near by! Maybe in a few years we can do recruiting duty there ;) Thanks for a WONDERFUL weekend Kel, I love you! And Chad...............you're DA BOMB! THANK YOU! :)

PS. I'll never forgot the Caesar Salad, Kel ;)

It was early and sprinkled on us, but overall, SO FUN and for a great cause!

Waiting for the Trolley like a hooker!
Not very hookerish, but still waiting for Trolley!
