Jake and I were able to take a trip all by ourselves! We arranged childcare with Jake's parents for four days and three nights! We have not done this kind of a trip since before Aidan was born! It was long overdue! We started the trip by going to visit one of my best friends from high school. Kristy and her husband, Travis, have an extraordinary family. They have adopted three children from Ethiopia, three children from Liberia, and have two foster children in their home. These children were precious! It is an organized, loving home. We were so fortunate to be able to stay one night there to really experience life in their home. I felt like our home with our two boys is sometimes more chaotic and stressful than theirs with TEN people in it! This is a picture of the almost two year old, Javante.

After our time with Travis and Kristy, we headed to the plaza. It poured down rain for about 30 minutes. Luckily, summer rain is usually short lived, and we were shopping in no time! We went to eat at a yummy Italian restaurant called Bucca de Beppo on National Lasagna Day. We got a free lasagna which Jake later gave to a homeless guy!
We went to a Royals game! We started off sitting in our assigned seats WAY up high and slowly made our way down to a more comfortable seat!
This is how we celebrated National Cheesecake Day! Half price cheesecakes at The Cheesecake Factory! YUM!
We ate dinner at a fancy schmancy restaurant on the Plaza with one of my best friends from nursing school, Kayla!
We are now planning our next vacation! Love you, Jake!
