On Saturday we went to visit my Brother Rob! We also got to visit his adorable kitties too.
I had a plan for this trip to Rob’s. I needed to pick up a few presents for James Birthday, and our anniversary too. I knew that Rob would have some pretty good gift suggestions, also Rob doesn’t mind driving all of us all over the city!
We were headed up North to shop a few stores, and we ran into a lot of traffic. Rob told us that Barack Obama was in town for a Rally, and we couldn’t believe the crowds. My Mom found out that there were 100,000 people at the Rally.
I love the city. There are amazing Fountains everywhere you look, and art work around every turn.
The shopping is fun, but honestly I love just walking around the city and viewing all of the amazing buildings. Dylan loves architecture too, he would look out of the window at all of the tall skyscrapers, and say “oh wow”.
Rob and I always have to visit the Plaza. It is by far one of my favorite places. There are beautiful fountains, incredible shops, and even a few places to get an iced coffee.
Before we headed back to Rob’s, I had to get an Vanilla Iced Bliss Coffee at Latte Land, they are so tasty!
The day was so much fun, and I really appreciate Rob letting us visit for the day. Thade is still talking about the city non-stop today, and we can’t wait to visit again!
Sounds like you had alot of fun, not to mention making a dent in your shopping! The pictures are really neat, what a pretty city! And those cats are pretty darn cute too 😉 Ellie
It sounds like a nice road trip! Nice of your brother to take you shopping, too!
Thanks Ellie! We love to visit Rob, and his super cute kitties too. He lives in Kansas City, and it is a really cool place. He is so nice to do the driving too, driving in the city completely stresses me out.
I’m scaling way back on the Christmas presents this year, but I’ve got a pretty good start so far. Have you started you Christmas shopping?
Thanks Mimi! Rob is an awesome brother, and a fantastic Uncle too. It was really nice of him to take us shopping, and he really helped me pick out some cool gifts for James 🙂
The pics made me feel like i took a trip to the city. Thanks for sharing! I am so impressed that you took both boys along too! You are such a super mom!! Hope you’re feeling better from that flu. Heather
Thanks Heather! The road trip was so much fun, and both of my boys were great 🙂 My brother lives in Kansas City, and we love to visit him whenever we can. I really love to go and get as many pictures as I can 😉 I’m already planning on making another trip to KC before Christmas to see all of the pretty lights on the Plaza.
Please share your pics of the lights when you get them. I’ve never been to Kansas City. We lived in Pittsburgh,PA before moving out here to the country.
Thanks Heather! I really hope to make it up to see the lights. I bet Pittsburgh was fun 🙂 Kansas City has so much to do, and the kids love to go and visit.
