Kansas City Weekend Update

This past weekend, I went to Kansas City for Ashley M's bachelorette party!! It was a blast, such a fabulous weekend with a great group of women.


Friday Breakdown
-Got off work at 11:00 and drove straight to Iowa City to hitch a ride with my sister
-Spent the next 4.5 hours in the car chatting and singing :)
-Got to KC before my aunt was off work so we stopped at this ghetto Burlington Coat Factory that had a broken AC and I bought a $12.00 dress!
-Met Tonja and Melanie and went to the 54th Stree Diner, YUMM
-Went out to this sports bar and played shuffleboard and had some great drinks
I didn't think about the rearview mirror
Loves driving!
Enjoying some M&S
Missed the "Welcome to Missouri" sign, this'll do! 
Shuffleboard!
Emily and her crazy spinning tactics.

Emily's still smiling for the camera even after she lost to Mel and me! :)
Saturday Breakdown

-Out in the P&L district! It was hot and sweaty, but we danced the night away and it was a blast!  You'll notice the pictures get sweatier...lol
-When we got back to the hotel, we had Ashley answer some questions that Andy also answered, they are a great match!

-We packed up, said our goodbyes and checked out
-Emily and I met our aunt for lunch before leaving
-6 hour drive home, BLAH



It was a great weekend with family and friends! It was fun celebrating Ashley and her upcoming marriage.  I think she got some much needed girl time and a break from wedding planning.  Oh, and I can't believe I almost posted this with out including the highlight of the weekend!  While dancing in the courtyard, two guys started having a dance off.  Ashley decided to mimic one of the guys and it was hilarious!
