KC MO Day 1

Kenny (my brother) is in town on leave from work. He invited My family and I to join him and his Girlfriend on a trip to Kansas City Missouri! We hardly ever get a chance to just get away so we all jumped at the chance for a road trip and to spend time with Kenny and Sherry ( His girlfriend is named Sherry too!! How fun! ). Kenny's Tahoe was able to fit us all and the Kids enjoyed watching movies the whole way there! Davone slept and snored most of the way there!! Davone didn't sleep at all the night before and we left the apartment shortly before 7 am. So this was what I saw the whole way there!! :)
Kenny got us a super nice room! Thanks Kenny!! I am used to just the 2 bed rooms. You know the typical motels. This one had two rooms. The minute we got inside Davone found his spot!!
This is the living room area, with the fold out couch!
On a side note... the little orbs of light in the pic freaked me out a little! I heard a lot of people say that those are spirits. Freaky. I always think about what horrible things might have happened in the rooms! I know weird thinking... that is me!
This is the kitchen area. We didn't use it much. We did get a bag of popcorn in our welcome basket. That was the only thing we cooked there!
We rested for a couple of hours and then met up in the Lobby. We took and picture of the kids...
Then Imanni took a picture of us!Finally Kenny and Sherry showed up and off we went! We just walked around sight seeing. Our first stop was the Cheesecake factory. That was Davone's pick! We sat outside by the fountain and took some pictures. Then we proceeded on our way. Kansas City was having an art festival. We were able to check out some of the art before the kids grew tired of it. There was a lot of people there and we were all kind of tired and not really wanting to walk around and look at stuff that was way overpriced! We found the Razorback fountain and a fountain with Neptune!
After taking pictures in front of all the fountains we headed on to Barnes and Nobles. They have a 4 story store in Kansas City. The kids enjoyed looking at the books while resting! I found an old childhood favorite....Tiki tiki Tembo. I loved hearing and reading that book when I was little. I read it to the kids but I don't think they paid much attention! Oh well I enjoyed it!!!After the bookstore we went on down the street to get some food. Then back to the hotel for us! We went to our room and rested for a short time then we all went for a swim. We didn't stay too long. Just long enough for everyone to relax a little more and then it was time to turn in for the night! Kiannah and Imanni were to share one bed and Davone and Johnathan another and I got the pull out couch! Davone insisted that I sleep in the bed and he would take the couch...but I wanted my husband to sleep good as well. I wanted the kids to sleep good for the busy day tomorrow too!

You should have let Johnathan sleep on the pull out bed!
Glad you had fun!
