When Eric and I visited Kansas in April to go apartment hunting, everyone would tell us to go to a place called The Plaza (not that Eric has any recollection of this ever happening). After being in the house for a couple weeks we decided it was time for us to check out the place where all the locals go.
The Plaza is basically a giant outdoor mall, well, more like a few streets lined with expensive stores and TONS of restaurant. We poor people go there to walk around and get some exercise. One thing I didn't know about Kansas is it has AWESOME architecture and great picture opps like here. Oddly enough, most of the cool buildings here happened to be restaurants and not stores.

Me in front of a cool looking building (also a restaurant).
I'm sure we'll get some cooler pictures when I'm more in the mood for this kind of thing (unlike that day). It's definitely a place I'll be taking our visitors to go shop and eat!
As a side note: I'm working on becoming a better housewife and actually cooking some new recipes rather than what I make up in my head. Thanks to my mother-in-law giving me the recipe, I made some homemade mac and cheese!! Eric loved it :) and it wasn't even because he eats anything and everything; he genuinely liked it! Go me!

Haha I'm the same way with the cooking. I never used to make anything. I think having your own place helps though cuz I'm actually making dinner now. It's amazing. That shopping center looks awesome. Definitely where I'd go if I were in Kansas!
Those buildings are so pretty. I have a good mac n cheese recipe too--and you don't even need the oven.
Hey Cindy! I love your semicolon at the end there :D I miss you guys lots and lots.
