Kansas City Trip

This past Thursday Zach, Anique, and I loaded up the car and headed out to Kansas City to visit Kamaron over the holiday weekend. He had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off so we thought it would be a great visit full of fun and adventures. It was quite the trip and here is a summary of what we did along with a few pictures to go with it.

In our way out to visit Kamaron, we got stuck in traffic in St. Louis. It just happened to be right at the arch, so we were able to capture a picture or two while we waited about 30 minutes only barely moving...

As soon as we arrived in KC, we went straight to go see where Kamaron works. Hallmark Cards was an interesting place as was the visitor center and the Crown Center.

The "traditional" shot of Kamaron at his desk which was very clean and organized with LOTS of Hallmark Cards!

After we checked out the workplace, we went and ate at the 13th place in world to eat before you die according to Men's Health Magazine, Oklahoma Joe's. It was definitely delicious and I have a good appreciation for Kansas City BBQ. After eating, we went to Kamaron and Anique's apartment, relaxed, and watched a movie. Thursday was a lot of fun!

Friday was full of lots of activities as Kamaron had an agenda written out for the whole weekend! Our first stop was Union Station where we were able to see one of the biggest train stops in the United States.
After Union Station, we were off to the Atkins-Nelson Art Museum. The best part, was the sculpture garden outside. The shuttlecocks were our favorite!

Then to top off a good day, we went to a Royals/White Sox game. Off course, Zach was cheering on the White Sox which won 5-0. It was a full day and we were exhausted by the time we got home!

Saturday morning we headed to Weston for a tour of their brewery and to see their cute little town. It was interesting to learn more about the history of area and to meet the locals. That afternoon/evening we headed to a coworker of Kamaron's house for a cookout and fireworks. We weren't expecting much of anything, but it was a good time. Phyllis and her husband Terry showed us their woods and house and promised to watch out for Kamaron. Then came the fireworks. I wish I would have had my camera. IT WAS AWESOME! They put on their own show but it is basically what you would see in the city but SO much closer. It was definately worth it but I couldn't believe they would spend so much money on fireworks! Saturday was also a great time but I don't have any pictures to share...sorry.

Sunday we headed to church, then to Legends (a outdoor mall), then just came home and relaxed by watching a movie and packing up to head back to Indiana on Monday. It was a great trip and thanks Kamaron for showing us a good time!
