K.C.

A few weekends ago, Dustin and I went to Kansas City.

He had a medical conference and I got to go along.
He went up earlier that day, so I met him when I got off work.
His car was ready to go, including printed out mapquest directions
and his whole collection of Adventures In Odyssey CDs to keep
me company on the 3 hour trip. How sweet!!! :)

While he was at the conference I spent my time sightseeing.

I went to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

One of the main exhibits was really neat. There were tons of huge sculptures made completely of old used tires, wires and tools. I really enjoy different things like that and could have spent hours looking at these sculptures. It kinda reminded me of something my Dad would enjoy and maybe even try.

Outside the museum was this sculpture. It's called the Crying Giant.

I got lunch at this little downtown joint.
It said "World Famous BBQ" so I knew it had to be good. It really was.

I took it to go and ate here, at this cute little river spot across the street.

Kansas City is called the "City of Fountains."
On my way back to the hotel to meet Dustin, I decided to check some of them out.

By the Plaza

Firefighter's Fountain
A tribute to many current and fallen firefighters.
It reminded me of my brother.
It wasn't running that day, so I didn't get to see it it's best.
But it's still cool.

Outside our Hotel

It was a fun weekend.

To April,

By the time this posts, it will no longer be September 1st in South Korea. I wish you weren't so far away, yet I'm so glad you are. I know you are having a great time, making some lifetime friends, creating some forever remembered experiences, growing a ton, and impacting the kids and people around you in some powerful and exciting ways. I'm so proud to be your sister and wish I could be there to help you ring in another new and exciting year. I love you and hope you had an amazing day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
