Kansas City

This past weekend, Brandon and I were lucky enough to get to go to Kansas City for an adults weekend. Brandon and I were invited at the beginning of October to come up for the weekend and go to a Zac Brown Band concert with our friends Megan and Derrick.

We dropped the boys off at my mom and dad's and then headed on our way out of town. We were enjoying our time together, but all we could talk about was the boys! Once we arrived in Liberty, we hung out for a little bit until Megan got home from work. We decided to go out to dinner in Kansas by the Kansas speedway. They have an awesome set up that it like three times the size of the Branson Landing. It was awesome! We ate at a Louisiana themed Cajun restaurant. It had a live jazz band and everything was decorated for Mardi Gras. It was really good. After dinner we slowly made our way to the movie theater to watch Due Date. We stopped by a restaurant called T- Rex. It was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. It had a Build- A- Bear inside of it where you could build a dinosaur. The entire restaurant had animatronic animals, dinosaurs, sea creatures and several live aquariums. We definitely plan on taking the boys up there in the near future.




We headed to the movie- which was pretty funny. We were so exhausted on our way home, that as soon as we got back, we passed out at their house. The next morning and Derrick had made a yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy. After breakfast we got ready and headed to their church. It's a new church, that is currently meeting in a warehouse. It was a service full of praise and worship and an awesome sermon. We love our church, buts it's cool hearing other pastors speak.

After church we headed back to their house, took naps and ate some Cincinnati Chili. It was really good. I had never had it before, and am normall not a person that likes change- but I'll have to make it sometime soon! After our late lunch we started getting ready and headed downtown to the Power and Light district. After finding a spot we were on a mission to find a place to eat some appitizers. It was a lot harder than we thought it would be. The Chiefs game was on, and with how P&L is set up- it was packed. We couldn't really find anywhere to eat and knew that we didn't want to eat stadium food, so we went into the Makers Mark Lounge. It was a little fancier than we had planned on and took forever for service. We weren't too happy by the time we left, but were ready to get to the concert.

We had a great time during the concert. We missed part of the opening acts, but had been advised by my friend Carrie, that they weren't very good anyway. I agree, they were horrible. One was a guy that played the fiddle, and the other were a couple of middle aged hippies named the " The Wood Brothers". Finally ZBB came on, and they played for over 2 hours. They did a great job. We had floor seats, and enjoyed every minute of it!

Brandon had to be at work early on Monday morning and my dad(who was watching the boys), had a job to start, so we left Liberty around 6:30. Luckily since we were south bound we didn't run into any traffice. Once we got onto HWY 7, I crawled into the very back of the Armada and slept until we got to Springfield. Brandon ran in the house chaged clothes, and left for work before the boys ever got home. We continued about our day like nothing had ever happened!
