This past week Shaw and I decided we needed a great little vacation away from the everyday life we have come to know. So, we kenneled Poto and packed our bags. We were off to Kansas City, MO.
The first day we drove to KC, got our hotel room and set out for Union Station to see the Bodies Revealed exhibit. It was INCREDIBLE! Sari just wanted to see the "skeleton on the bike". It's just amazing! Especially as a massage therapist, I actually got to see real muscles on real formerly living bodies! We then ventured to Gates restaurant. Its a little barbecue place near downtown. I was taken back by the yelling done by the cashiers. "Hello! May I take your order, your order has NOT been placed!". Friendliness was not on the list at all...but the food was pretty good. After dinner we retired to our hotel and sat in the hot tub for a while before going to bed.
The second and third day we went to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun, respectively. Sari loved both parks. We rode rides for hours on end. To our amazement, the lines were minimal! The longest line was 30 minutes later in the evening for an adult only ride. It was better than Disney World, in our opinions.
Sunday night we were able to meet up with my ol' friend Megan and her nusband Ty and baby Scotty. We hadn't seen each other since we were 18! She looked great, and her husband was so nice! And the baby, of course, the baby was adorable! It was great eating icecream and catching up. We hope to visit with them again soon. It seems that about every 9 years we are able to meet up...but hopefully it will be sooner this time around.
Monday, we headed home. It was a long drive but eventually was over. We all enjoyed our trip, and hope to make another one before long. It was a well needed and well deserved vacation for us all. I will post pictures when I get the chance.
