My cousin made it to town on Tuesday! I'm so excited she's hear! It's been almost a year since I saw her...she's NEVER been to Kansas City and she hasn't been to St Louis for probably 14 years! She needs to experience a little of the midwest!! (she's from New Jersey! - accent and all!)
Tuesday night I took her to one of my favorite BBQ places - Oklahoma Joes...or as I kindly refer to it - the gas station bbq. It's AWESOME! If you've never been, you MUST go. And you have to go to the original location (about 47th & Mission). They do have a new location in Olathe...but it's about the atmosphere! And you must get the fries - they are big enough to split a minimum of two ways! She of course loved it!!
Wednesday we met up with Robert & Joseph (fellow Realtors) and Liz (gym friend) and went to the college basketball experience at the Sprint Center. Oh my gosh, did we have fun!! It's completely interactive so bring your tennies and be ready to sweat! We did!! It wasn't busy, so it was great. (I don't think we would have had as much fun if we stood in line...so go during the week!). After we all went to You Say Tomato (thanks for the suggestion Amy) for lunch. It was really tasty! The guys left us and us girls went to the Hallmark Visitor Center (I didn't even know it existed!!). We did a self tour and got to see how the cards get the embossing. Plus we got to see how a bow is made and got to take one home! Yeah free samples!!!
After our activities we went to the gym. The pilates reformer girl wanted to do demos...and since neither of us had done it before we were game. It was fun....though we are both slightly feeling it! For dinner we went to Sakura - or as my friend Erin calls it, the Sushi Train. It's at 75th & Neiman and you can sit at this circular bar area and sushi comes around on a train (yes, it says Amtrak on the front) and you can pick the ones you want. It's a great way to sample different kinds and it's VERY reasonably priced!!!
Today is a little more low key with relaxing stuff...and tomorrow we head to St Louis so we can see the rest of my fam.
Have a great week!
Jodi
