Bryan’s parents hosted a wonderful family trip to Kansas City last weekend. It provided a perfect opportunity to explore a city that, despite our proximity, we know little about. It also gave Ava and Olivia a chance to catch up with their adorable cousins, and the “big kids” had a great time too.
Friday night, we had dinner on the Country Club Plaza, an area famous for upscale shopping and gorgeous architecture. We (quickly) checked out the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art on Saturday morning–we discovered it’s not a great place to linger with small children.
I’ll definitely go back, but maybe by myself:
We had lunch at a popular burger joint, then spent the afternoon in walking through the plaza.
Doug and Karyl sent us out on the town sans kids Saturday night, and though we weren’t gone long, the reprieve was much appreciated. As Laura noted, kids often complicate even the simplest of plans.
Yet, somehow, they always redeem themselves. At least in the eyes of their grandparents, anyway.
Additional trip photos tomorrow, including those from a very memorable trip to the zoo. In the meantime, check out Doug’s gallery for more.
