Our Day Trip To K.C.

Saturday we made the drive up to Kansas City, and the day was filled with fun and craziness. Both boys were so excited to see their Uncle Rob, and Nana and I were pretty excited too.

We met up at Rob’s apartment, and then we planned the day from there. Rob took us by where he works, and it was amazing. He is right by Union Station, and I couldn’t believe the view.

Rob works in the art district, and it is so beautiful there. I’m a little jealous of his amazing drive to work. He drives past historical sites, art museums, and amazing skyscrapers. I love architecture and I hope one day to end up in a big city with a view like the pictures above.

 

We then headed over to Minsky’s on the River Market for some tasty Kansas City Pizza, and it was so delicious. We also got to check out the Open Air Farmer’s Market too, it was amazing. I spotted way too many awesome deals on fruits and veggies. I’d shop there weekly if I could.

 

We had a little detour though… After lunch and checking out the sites my car started acting up. Luckily Rob was driving and headed us over to Firestone, were we got to hang out for about an hour and a half while my car got some diagnostic work done 😉

Even though we spent the afternoon at Firestone, we all had a fun time just hanging out. Thade was getting a little stir crazy though 😉 There turned out to be nothing wrong with my car, thank goodness. I might have a sensor going out. The car was safe to drive and we were ready to get back on the road.

 

We took the kiddos and Nana back to Rob’s. Dylan was ready to eat and take a nap, and Thade was ready to chill out on the couch for a bit. Rob drove me to the Plaza so I could pick up a present for James. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Plaza, it is truly awesome. There are endless places to eat and shop, and you can people watch all day. The architecture is incredible, and every where you look is a lovely fountain or a beautiful statue. I’m so ready to move to K.C. now 😉

Rob said he would buy coffee, and you know I can’t say no to an iced coffee. He introduced me to Latte Land, and I’m a huge fan now! I had a Vanilla Bliss Blended Coffee, and I have to say it was even tastier than my beloved Starbucks Frappuccino. Just one more reason I’m ready to move to K.C.

We all had such a great time, and thanks again to Rob for having us up to visit. I can’t wait to go and visit again 🙂
