In late November and early December I love to take advantage of all the beautiful holiday displays around the city. One of my favorite spots for doing this is at The Crestwood Shops on 55th street just off Brookside Blvd in Kansas City, Missouri.
Drive right up, park your car, get out, and explore.
It's completely free, provides all sorts of ideas, and makes me happy.
When you are done looking you can duck into Cafe Europa for lunch. Save room for dessert. The lemon cake is legendary.
Or if you are there early in the morning, go into Aixois for a coffee and a croissant. It's cozy and warm and you can gaze out at all the snow and watch the locals come in for their morning shot of Joe.
Hours of fun. Shopping with my eyes, no money spent. Well, except for the latte and that flaky, buttery, pastry. Which was perfect.
