Thursday we went shopping in Parkville, MO with Rachael, Aunt Tracy, and Sammy! We had a lot of fun wandering through the city. For lunch we went to Frank's Italian restaurant, we ate outside because we had Sammy with us. Later on we went to a Yarn Shop, I loved combing over all of the different colors. After we were done shopping we went to a trail by the river looking for a dog park for Sammy, but the dog park did not exist (sorry sammy).
Wednesday we went to the Crown Center shopping mall and The Plaza in Kansas city with my cousin Rachael. The Plaza is an upscale shopping mall, (very fun). At the plaza we went to all kinds of different shops like Burberry, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, American Eagle, and Tivol jewelry. For lunch we went to PF Chang's. Inside Restoration Hardware (a furniture store) Rachael and made sure that all the furniture was nice and cozy including the outdoor furniture! When our waiter gave us a bowl of lemon wedges at PF Chang's Rachael said "I'm going to eat this whole lemon wedge" and she did, mom and I both tried but we could not finish it.
Kansas City's nickname is "The city of fountains" and it's so true every few blocks there is almost always a beautiful fountain. Rachael says she is sick of fountains. :) While we were walking past a seafood restaurant which just happened to have a revolving door Mom told Rachael to go in the revolving door, and make a full circle back out. She did it and we laughed really hard!
Today at Whole foods I bought 10 stalks of gladiolus for 3.99, I was so thrilled! There were all kinds of colors, but I chose a light purple. I'll post more pictures when they are in full bloom. I absolutely love cut flowers especially gladiolus.
While we were in Mound city, MO we went to Good time Antiques. This shop was full of very interesting things. I really liked the milk bottles and kitchen accessories. We also saw some suitcases like the ones in Sound of Music, very cool!
Today I went shopping with my very good friend Hannah and her mom. We went to the Countryside village together and shopped the sidewalk sale (in the rain). We stopped at a florist shop and one of the employees gave us a mini botany class all about the flowers, I loved it!! Later on we went to string of pearls ( a yarn shop) and tried on the shawls and sweaters there. Thank you Mrs. V for bringing me shopping with you!
