Kansas City is home to the “boys in blue” and the brand new Kauffman Stadium. But who would have known that KC is also home to great restaurants, upscale shops, and a mix of art and history museums that would overwhelm even the avid museum-goers!
Brian and I were lucky enough to visit KC just a couple weekends ago with our good friends, the Kelamises. We started out our weekend with a night filled with Mexican food and margaritas at Baja 600, with the night ending in drinks at the Irish pub, Tom Fooleries. Then Saturday morning we were in for an overwhelmingly powerful trip to the World War I museum in downtown KC. The tragedy and death felt by so many societies and cultures worldwide was truly palpable in the state of the art museum. After a greasy cheeseburger to ease our hangovers, the girls hit the shopping in the Plaza District while the boys had a beer at the pub. Saturday evening was time for baseball and the Tigers weren’t disappointing with a win against the Royals, 9 to 1. (I even got to see Mags hit a home run!) Also not disappointing were the Royals fans. Brian has been around the country watching baseball and he says the Royals followers are the nicest fans. Obviously Tigers fans decked out in our English D fan wear, the Royals fans were never without a smile for us or a warm welcome. Trips to the concession stand lead us into cheerful (despite losing) fans sharing a genuine love for America’s favorite pastime. After the game we went to the Westport District for a most entertaining night full of martinis, pizza, and people-watching.
Thanks Kelamises! Hanging out with you two never ceases to come with lots of unforgettable moments!
Enjoy the pictures everyone!
