September Recap

September was super busy for me. I spent most of the month working and moving but, was able to get out to the renaissance festival and have a little fun. It was also Finn and I’s first month together. Even though my September wasn’t very eventful I’m really looking forward to October I have a few things planned this month and I’m excited to decorate my house for Halloween and meet more of my new neighbors.

Hello September & Goodbye August

I had an eventful August I got to hang out with my little sister, see one of my favorite bands, and go to Kansas City’s VegFest. My sister typical visits once a year during the summer while she’s off from school. We always have a great time and do a lot of fun stuff together. I’ve been very busy lately with buying a house and work so it was nice to take a break from that. And get out and do something fun with my sister. I was sad to see her go after all the fun we had but, I can’t wait to see her again next summer and show her the new house.

This past Friday my husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary. We spent the day together and visited three different places. We had a lot of fun and got to see more of what Kansas City has to offer. Our first stop was Succotash for breakfast before heading to the Powell Gardens in Kingsville, MO. We ended the day by checking out the First Friday event in the Crossroads District of downtown Kansas City.

The Lights Festival

The lights festival is an experience where thousands of people gather to listen to music, fill up on good food, and light up the night sky. Its focus on creating a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience for all of their guest. Upon entry of the event, you’re given a lantern, marker, and lights festival wristband. While you wait for the sun to set you can draw on your lantern, enjoy food from local food trucks, and listen to live music. Once it gets dark and the local fire marshal gives the OK then the magic happens and thousands of paper lanterns ascend into the night sky. Check out their website to learn more here.

Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri and is known for its jazz heritage, barbecue, and craft breweries. It has several neighborhoods that each has a variety of things to do. I moved back to the Kansas City area this past November. Due to the unusually cold winter, I hadn’t really gotten A chance to get out and explore the city. On my most recent day off from work, I decided to take a trip to the downtown Kansas City area and do some sightseeing. I visited three places near the Crossroads District of Kansas City area. While on my foot tour of the CIty I also played some Pokemon Go and really was able to explore and learn more about the city.
