Day Date

Cam and I haven't been on a legitimate date in a while forever, so we decided to go on a day date today! We had lots of fun plans, however not everything went exactly according to plan. My dear friend, Kayla, blogged about a delicious looking pizza place called Blue Grotto in Brookside. It had fabulous outdoor seating, so we decided to give a go.

We are boring and ordered a pepporoni pizza, but it was delicious!

Although the above pictures make the outdoor seating look FABULOUS, we found this to be not necessarily true today. We sat down around 11:15 to eat, and we told the hostess we wanted to sit outside because it was a "beautiful day." Welllll, it was beautiful for about 5 minutes until the two wasps started swarming around our table area. Just ignore them, right? Well let me tell you a little tid bit of knowledge about Cameron Christopher...wasps are his absolute enemy. I seriously think he would rather sleep with a lion, jump out of a moving airplane, or sit in an igloo for 24 hours before he would want to be within 2 miles of a wasp. It was impossible to have a normal conversation with him, because his little eyes were constantly focused on the dang wasp. After getting rather frustrated with having a conversation with myself, I suggested we go inside to eat. He said no, he would take care of it. He proceeded to take the pillows we were sitting on swat at the wasp (isn't that the LAST thing you are supposed to do with an insect swarming around you?!) Anywho, he eventually killed the wasp, however the rest of the lunch was spent complaining (from he and I) about how hot it was outside. GEEEEZ, not the lunch we were planning on.

After lunch, we drove around and looked at houses down around the plaza area. Looking at houses have become our new fetish. Last weekend we went on a house tour with my parents and looked at model homes, and we love seeing beat up houses and talking about how we can fix them up and make it our own! We found some great ones today on our way downtown...

We loved the country/Victorian look of this one, and the best part was...

...it was for sale! We should have made an offer...haha, well maybe not, but we will keep that type of house in mind for the future!

On our way downtown, we also spotted TWO weddings, so of course I made Cameron turn around so I could be a massive creeper and take pictures!

We even found a couple in a carriage! So cute :) :)

We shopped around the plaza and had a fun time looking at stores with things that were way out of our price range! I love the stuff in Anthropologie, but holy moly, we found a cute shirt for $149, no thank you! After getting bored of shopping (which was mighty quick, do you know Cameron Thomsen? Shopping for him is short lived always), we went over to McCormick and Schmick's for some yummy dessert!

Oh the chocolate bag...if you have never had this, you are missing out on life. For those of you out of town, next time you come to KC force me to take you to get this, you will not regret it.

I also ordered some delicious lemonade that hit the spot on a hot summer day :)

Although our day didn't go exactly according to plan, we still had a great time and it was nice to spend some alone time together :) (We don't get much of that around the Boyers' household).

Take your loved one out for a nice date sometime soon, they are so fun and so worth it! :)

Until then,

Brittany
