Memorial Weekend Plans
Posted on May 23, 2004 by Ching under Life, Travel.
Next weekend Brian and I will be sleeping in our posh hotel suite (yes, we’re supposed to get a separate living area with a sleeper couch and everything — how exciting is that) at the Raphael Hotel on Country Club Plaza. I’ve planned all the details and everything!
Saturday will be spent doing some shopping. You better believe I’m hitting Bebe, AX, BCBG, Betsey Johnson, J.Crew and all the other stores (even just to window shop, I don’t care, we don’t have them here so it’s fun to actually try on the stuff as opposed to my normal MO which is to just shop via the internet). I haven’t decided where we are going to lunch yet because there are so many yummy restaurants to choose from. I know that we will be at the Mermaid Courtyard (by Eddie Bauer) in the afternoon, though, because they are supposed to have some live entertainment there. I believe the band will be playing some swing music. Then it is back to the hotel for some R&R (and maybe a little somethin’ somethin’) and to get cleaned up before we hit Mi Cocina or reVerse (maybe both depending on how much energy we have left).
I’m thinking we will be spending Sunday at Union Sation. Maybe have brunch at Union Café and then browse the Crown Center shops if Brian doesn’t protest. I figure we have to be there somewhat early anyway to get a good spot for the Celebration at the Station. The Kansas City Symphony will play an hour and half concert followed by a fireworks display. I think it will be similar to the symphony and fireworks conclusion of the Wichita River Festival only much cooler. At least, I hope so anyway.
Brian took Memorial Day off and at my work it is schedule on volunteer basis. I purposely didn’t volunteer for it so we don’t have to rush back to Wichita. Hopefully it will be a relaxing drive or at least I’m hoping that the Memorial weekend traffic would have subsided by late afternoon.
Anyway, Brian and I are both very excited. He tells me he is excited, anyway.. But if he doesn’t say anything, you can’t really tell that he is. He’s not quite as expressive as I am.
We have a lot to celebrate this month. After all, I just had my naturalization ceremony on Friday (yes, I am official now) and I had straight As this spring semester. Very cool, celebration-worthy stuff.
