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 🙂
Sounds like you had a great day! Glad to hear you had fun…..Ellie…..oh, I can’t say no to an iced coffee either…..:)
Thanks Ellie! It was such a fun trip, and we hope to make the trip again soon. Both of the boys did well in the car, and there is so much to do in K.C.
The Iced Coffee was so tasty! I’m glad that you are a fan too 🙂
Wow! My brother lives in KC, now I want to go and visit him! He always wants to come here to visit,he’s a beach lover, but now I think we need a switch this year.
Yummmmmmm, iced coffee 🙂 Loved the pictures and it looks beautiful there!!
Sounds like a wonderful trip, and another place I would love to visit one day. Kylie and I have looked it up on a map so that we can see how far it is from us 😀 .
Thanks Mimi! KC is so much fun, and there are so many things to do. We are planning another trip or two to visit Swope Park Zoo, and Shatto Farms. There are lots of fun activities for the kiddos too, and you can’t beat shopping at the Plaza.
Thanks Amy! I love it in KC, and there are plenty of great photo ops. The iced coffee was too good, I’m a big fan of Latte Land now 🙂
Thanks Susan! I hope that you and your family get to visit one day, it is so fun in KC. There are great parks, awesome sites, and plenty of great places to eat. We are planning another trip or two, if my brother doesn’t mind having company.
Thanks Nana! We all had such a fun time, and I can’t wait for our next road trip to KC. Thade keeps asking when we can go and visit again, so I know he had a great time 🙂 Big hugs!
