Team Cocktail - the name says it all!

Since last January Jim and I have been trying to find an open weekend to spend in Kansas City with our dear friends, Steve & Lyndsey. Amazingly we were both open for Labor weekend so we planned a last minute trip to KC. Our three-day weekend started with us turning around about 15 minutess after leaving as Jim forgot the stash of wine. If there is one thing that must not be forgotten in visiting the Higgins it is WINE!



The four of us enjoyed a great lunch on the patio. Oddly we were the only one's on the patio - it was the first day in which the thermometer didn't read 100 degrees so apparently it was now too cold for patios!? The entertainment for the weekend was watching our kids - Hank and Indy pester each other. Both are spoiled rotten and run the house so it was pretty funny to watch them fight over toys, food and attention!


I'm exhausted!


What would end up being a late night started out at this neat restaurant Lidia's in the Crossroad's district. We only enjoyed a drink but the food smelled wonderful and I loved the patio on this renovated train depot. Next up was 801 Chophouse outside of the Power & Light District. All I can now I know why people rave about the food, service and wine at 801 as it was AMAZING!We enjoyed The Well in Waldo and then headed to the 75th Street Brewery where we tasted many different beers! We didn't quite do the pub crawl as planned!
