September 13th Aaron and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were blessed because Nana and Pop Pop Rourke agreed to watch Eli and Keenan for the weekend so we could go on our "Stay-Cation"! We stayed the weekend at the Historic Hotel Philips downtown KC.. The weekend started with a tornado warning and down pour before we even left. We did not leave the house until close to 7pm, but we made it! Aaron and I went to the P& L district within walking distance from our hotel and watch KU lose, unfortuntely. Then we met up with some friends at our hotel bar who graciously added a round of drinks on our tab. LOL! We went on an interesting adventure with them, I won't even go into it. Let's just say, we were all over served!
Saturday, we slept in, then got breakfast at Rm 39. OMG! It was awesome! Our friend Emily keeps suggesting it to us and we were finally able to go, their steak and eggs are phenomenal! Their coffee is exquisite, and this strawberry jam, which we learned they get from Costco was delicious! I cannot wait to go back! After brunch, we decided to check on the boys since we were so close. I was able to get my kisses and hugs in and they were doing great. So, I took up the opportunity of Aaron asking to go SHOPPING!
We were both still tired, but we decided to buy some new clothes since I back in my pre-prego sizes and Aaron's closet is full of old clothes. We had our "Pretty Woman" episode. We had fun. Then we both hit a wall so we got at snack at McCormick and Schmick's which totally hit the spot and went back to the Hotel to take a nap. We slept until around 7PM. We had a late dinner at Nara downtown (http://www.narakc.com/). It was a nice quiet dinner. Then we had an un-impressive dessert at the hotel restaurant.
Our weekend ended with a huge brunch and a trip to Sam's to buy formula and diapers! You've gotta love being a parent! Overall, Aaron and I had a nice romantic weekend which was needed terribly! Hopefully we can make this a yearly tradition

This sounds great. So glad you guys could get away! I love the part about stopping at Sam's...so funny.
I am SO freakin' jealous that you had a weekend like that. Good for you two. When you say it was a Pretty Woman day...and Aaron was the one who needed clothes...did you buy him a long red dress with pearl drop earrings? Or was it the short black cocktail dress?
