Girls Weekend in Kansas City

After spending a week with my family it was time to surprise Jackie with a girls weekend to Kansas City. We were in KC from July 6-8th! Angie, Peggy, and I had been planning this trip for Jackie for a long time and it was fun being able to finally tell her. So Angie came in from Colorado and then the three of us went to Jackie's house to surprise her. She had no idea and had originally thought that her fiance had planned a weekend for her. (we filled in her fiance on the plan so that way she couldn't plan anything for that weekend).
She quickly figured out where we were going and we decided to fill her in on the rest of the details on the road. We had a great time road tripping while listening to music from our high school days (like savage garden). Once we were there we went to our hotel and went to bed early since Saturday was going to be a big day. On Saturday we went to Oceans of Fun which was perfect since it was 102 that day. We spent the day playing on tubes on the lazy river, going to the wave pool, going to the adult pool, and Jackie and i made sure to go on the big monsoon ride. It was a relaxing day and we had a wonderful time staying cool in the water.
From there we went back to the hotel so that way we could get ready for the night's agenda which was to have fun at the Power and Light District in Kansas City. I had never been there before and it turned out to be a pretty sweet place. It is an outdoor area which has a stage and public area in the middle and then it has bars all the way around on the sides. We went to the bar Howl at the Moon since Peggy had organized for us to go there ahead of time. It was a piano bar and we spent the night listening to great music. We put in the request jar that Jackie was a bachlorette and they had her go on stage to embarras her by playing a game in front of everyone. There was a lot of bachlorettes there and it was fun watching them all dance together later in the night. On Sunday we had breakfast and headed back.
My friend Jackie is getting married in September and we wanted a time away from life and distractions so we could just be the four of us. While I was in Saipan I missed these girls a lot and am so glad to be able to spend time with them again. It was a wonderful weekend of being with friends and I am looking forward to being a part of Jackie's big day. Enjoy the pics!

We thought it was funny that it said single on our tube wristbands.
