Day 1: Kansas City, MO 5/23/09

We finally made it to Kansas City, MO. We woke up, had breakfast, and headed to their mall to explore it. After some exploration we had lunch at Fritz's restaurant. This is a restaurant where a train driving on a track delivers your food to you. The kids (and us) had a great time watching the trains go around the room. Each child got an engineer's hat when we walked in.This is a picture and a video of the train.

After we had lunch we went to Kaliedscope. This is an open-ended art center provided by Hallmark. You walk into a room that is kind of sensory overload with art stations all around the room. There are "scrapes" of stuff from the Hallmark warehouse for the kids to create with. One example is there was a roll of gold foil wrapping paper that people were rolling into swords. There were ribbons and tissue paper among lots of other stuff.Kansas City is known for having hundreds of fountains through out the city. There was one by the mall we were at.After some more exploring in the city we went had dinner at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill. For dessert we decided to try a deep-fried twinkie.
