Trip to KC for Spring Break

I traveled to Dallas for Fourth of July and Kansas City for spring break.  What is wrong with me?

My college room mate lives in Kansas City, and I have not visited her in KC for at least 10 years.  I figured over spring break would be a perfect time.

And it was...My friend has smaller children than me, so we did something in the morning, and the kids and I played in the afternoon.  It was really nice because we stayed for 5 days, and I was worried about overstaying our welcome.  I think we got out enough that we were not under their toes too much.

The kids had a blast!  Their favorite part was Max the dog.  The kids talk about the trip like Max the dog was the sole reason we went to KC.  They even refer to my friend's house as Max's house.



I love the Kansas City Art Museum.  We go to a lot of museums and I have always thought it was the one of the nicest I have been to.  They had a display on Japanese Art.  I don't remember what they were are called, but they are long scrolls that tell a story.  The kids were able to create their own art!

And of course, my two monkeys were goofing off and mimicking the statues.

We also went to a display about the science of music.  We made videos and learned about how all of the equipment works.  They had instruments for the kids to play with and little tutorials on how to work the instruments.

The whole trip was a blast, and it was GREAT to see my friend again.  She is one of those people who I do not speak with for years, but when we get together, it is like old times. 

but with a lot less drinking....
