Dan and I just got back from Overland Park, Kansas. We were visiting his brother Chad and his fiancee Julie. We were able to spend 3 days down there, which went pretty fast, but it was so much fun. The rental car that we got was awesome!! It was a silver, 2008 Hyundai Sonata. Very nice car. XM radio also :) it was a nice treat for us to take down there. We made it down there without even filling up once....if we took my car...i guess we would not have been so lucky.
While we were down there, we had freezing rain early on Sat and then it changed to snow. All of us ventured out later Sat and went to Oklahoma Joe's BBQ restaurant (yummo), Best Buy, and a Whole Foods store (organic). So we were able to get around on Sat...but it was SO messy down there. They do not plow ANYTHING until the snow completely stops. Some people drive like 10mph...it is just so different down there.
On Sunday, Dan and I went to visit my aunt Mary and uncle Chuck, and cousin Claire. They live in Grandview, MO which was about 20 min away from Chad in Kansas. Chuck and Mary fixed us a steak dinner!!!! Oh was it good!! Steak, potatoes, veggie salad, french bread, and even rice krispies for dessert. Mary fixed us a goody bag of rice krispies and unfortunately we forgot them :( darn it, I am still angry about that...LOL
Sunday night...we went to Kansas City, Kansas about 20 mins from Chad's, and visited a Nebraska Furniture Mart!! It was very neat!! They have anything you could want....well almost. They do have a website that I will be checking out, because we only had 30 minutes to look around before they closed on Sunday. So feel free to google them and check them out too!!
After that, we went and took some pictures of the Kansas Speedway. We were not able to get in any of the outer gates, so I took pictures from a distant of the outside of the track and some signs. I will get those posted sometime soon :) Hopefully we can get to a race down there sometime!! After all the picture taking we went to a Dave & Buster's restaurant/gaming place. It kind of reminded me of a smaller version of the restaurant/game area of Fun City. We had a blast there!! We played some fun games with all four of us...some trivia. Of course some of the stuff they were asking we had no clue what they were talking about...but it was just fun to all have a good time!! So THEN, we ended the night with some ColdStone Creamery ice cream!!! OMG!!! It was so good! If you haven't been there before, you should check one out! I think they even said it is fat free, and low calories!!!!!!! LOL right!!!
Well, enough of the trip for now.....just wanted to post and let ya know we had a GREAT time :)
