Kansas City: Dad's Favorites

Editor's Note: This post doesn't count, for at least three reasons:

1. Magen and I visited Kansas City before we were married, both separately and together, so KC is not one of the towns we need to visit for this project.

2. Many of the places pictured here are actually in Missouri, not Kansas.

3. We didn't bring Magen with us on this trip. 

With all that said, I thought I'd go ahead and post some pictures from this trip anyway. 

On Veteran's Day, 2017, I decided to get the kids out of Mom's hair by taking them to some of my favorite spots in Kansas City. We packed lunches, bundled up in jackets, and took off.

We ate lunch in the car parked outside the Liberty Memorial, one of my very favorite museums. They normally have some sort of discount deal for Veteran's Day, since it is also Armistice Day (celebrating the end of World War I). 



After lunch, we ventured through the museum itself. here's a shot of the kids outside:



(Not pictured: Myrick and Matt sliding on their bellies down the hill.)

And, of course, we had to go up the elevator to the top of the tower. Which meant we had to wait in line...



And wait in line some more.



Afterwards, we headed over to Union Station for an early dinner at Fritz's.



And what trip to KC would be complete without a visit to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art?





On the way home, we were all tired. Not too tired, though, for a quick stop at Chik-Fil-A for ice cream and waffle fries!
