So I went for a super quick road trip down to Kansas City this last weekend, about a 9 hour trip from here. Sadly I had to do it alone because Brad was in bad need of study time, but it was worth it to be able to see my parents and brother again. We helped Brody get situated into his new place, KC's newest bachelor pad. Luckily we had some time on Saturday to check out KC downtown. We went to the Hallmark Headquarters where we checked out a crayola store, the hallmark visitors center, and a cinco de mayo festival happening outside the square. We also made a stop at Liberty Jail. And most of all I got my fill of Kansas City Bar-B-Q. It was a quick, but needed weekend and nice to see family again.
This is the view from my car window
Pretty much this is what the view looked like the entire drive down.
Here is our Mother's Day gift.

Looks like it was fun! I want to go to the crayon place! Also, we never set Brody up with Rebecca!
So fun! I like Kansas City. There is just something about it. I am impressed you made the trip by yourself. I think I would have freaked out! Good job. When the Brad finish up the year?
Yay!!!! I see that you made it there and back okay!! It looks like you had a good time even though it was a short trip. Glad you got to see your mama on mother's day, I bet she loved that! It was so great talking to you on the phone, i was happy to keep you entertained!!
9 hour drive by yourself, not fun, but at least you didn't have screaming kids the whole way!! And of course you had to have ice cream to keep you awake right? Anyway, looks like you had a fun trip, seeing family is always nice.
I just saw your comment on my blog. Yes, we are staying in So Cal for the summer so let us know when you decide to come. We would LOVE to see you guys!!
