Adventures in Kansas City

When on that trip with my best friend, she found Pinot's Palette. They were hosting an open studio for a ridiculously good price. We brought some of her friends. We each got to pick what painting we wanted to do and what size canvas for $15!
The guide

Mine and I LOVED it!

Yay!

Next, we headed to Topgolf! I'd never been, but had always wanted to. Even though it was freezing outside, the heaters they had kept us really comfortable. The balls each have a chip in them, that tracks them, so you can aim for targets, distance, etc. While none of us was amazing, it was fun and I'm excited to go again.

Eating in the Kansas City Area

We had some many good meals while in KC!

I had the BEST shrimp tacos at El Potro Mexican Cafe in Bonner Springs just off I-70. They were so flavorful. I went back there two months ago and they were just as good. I wish I lived closer to that place.

Later, we met up with more friends of my friend at Blue Koi. I found that place with my mom a few years ago when I tried my first bubble tea. Awww, memories! The dumplings are what they're known for and they are the best! We all got bubble teas, I got the green tea bubble tea, so good!

My Time in Leavenworth, KS

My best friend and I took some time to spend a few days in the Leavenworth area.

The first stop was lunch at Tampico downtown. It was a Mexican food place. I got one of my go-to favorites; a beef burrito with rice and beans. Such a nice, enjoyable lunch.

From there, we checked out Artistic Works by Lu's. It's such a cool shop with super cute clothes and jewelry. Good luck walking out of there without finding a perfect piece of jewelry. You can also create custom pieces. I purchased the cutest necklace there. I love how unique their jewelry is.

We also visited the Kansas Country Store. It was part farm store and part gift shop. They had a nice variety of items including fudge. Nice shop, but the worst bathroom I've experienced in a long time.
