We took a trip to Missouri with my parents and my brothers' families this week. We stayed in a house north of KC, but we spent a lot of time in KC visiting the attractions. Lots of adventures! Here are some highlights!

I got to meet up with my Snail Mail friend, Dara. She blogs over at Not in Jersey. We went to a cute little area called Prairie Fire in Overland Park and had some yummy dessert!

We also hit up the KC Zoo. We checked out a few animals and then a big storm came through. Once there was a break in the storm, we left and hit up a Five Guys for lunch. Nap times definitely affected our days on this trip, but it's just a phase we're in. Oh, and Russ found a lot of Pokemon everywhere we went. Anyone else in on the Pokemon Go game?




P.S. Cents of Style has fun State Necklaces this week. Of course I got Iowa! Iowa is the state of my birth and honestly I don't see myself living elsewhere. I love the people, the weather (for the most part), and just the familiarity. Venturing other places for trips and such is great, but I always love to come home. This necklace is a great reminder of that.  You can get yours at Cents of Style today for just $11.99 and free shipping with code NEWSTATE! Which state will you choose?
