Birthday Recap
I celebrated my Birthday last Friday! I took the day off and spent it eating and shopping on the Plaza. It was a great day. We enjoyed sushi and wine at Kona, then a birthday red velvet cupcake! We even ran into old friends we had not seen in over a year. Such a joy!
We then met my sister and her family for dinner and drinks and spent the evening enjoying games. My sister experimented with a new cocktail to try. She made cotton candy martinis, and they are sweet. I usually like sweet things, but these are almost too sweet even for me! My sister gave me a skull scarf for my birthday that I love, and I will have fun styling it soon!
I mention the Plaza often so I thought I might describe what "The Plaza" actually is. Located south of downtown Kansas City, it is approximately 18 blocks of shopping. With shops like, J Crew, H & M, Sperry, Burberry, and Hall's just to name a few. It is sidewalk shopping, so you stroll from store front to store front admiring the windows and people. There is a Starbucks so you can pick up your favorite beverage, or stop and have lunch at my personal favorite Kona Grill, or Brio and sit out on their patios. When I lived in Tulsa we had a similar shopping area I really enjoyed know as Utica Square. The difference is, The Plaza is about 10 times larger!!
My mom is coming to visit next week to spend some time so I needed to get an idea of all the fun things we will do while she is here. She is a real mover and shaker! Not a shopper and a luncher, but a project and a crafter kinda mom. I am hoping to have some new DIY'er ideas soon for you guys!
I am spending today at The Nationals Golf Club. It is a magnificent course designed by Tom Watson. No, I do not play golf, I am attending a charity event. I will instagram pics of the day to share. How was your weekend?

I'm glad you had a fun birthday on the Plaza! I've been to the Plaza several times this summer but I haven't really taken a day just to enjoy it--I need to before it's too late!
