"Everything's up to date in Kansas City...

...they've gone about as fer as they can go..." When I told my mom we were going to Kansas City, she sang me this (beautiful) song from Oklahoma the Musical, so I had to youtube it and now I want to see it! It's always fun to get away for a weekend. Friday after I got off work, Craig picked me up and we headed on our way to Kansas City. We had originally planned to see Mamma Mia! that evening, but because of the flooding/road closures we had to detour through the country and couldn't make it.

We were both starving by the time we drove in, so we found some chain restaurant that's apparently famous for hot wings. Craig loves spicy foods, so he decided to try the habanero and mango wings while I played it safe with a grilled chicken sandwich. After waiting for what seemed like hours, our meal finally comes out and looks delicious, so we dig in. Craig took one bite and right away, his eyes start watering and nose starts running like crazy - it was hilarious! In the end, he ended up only eating two pieces of chicken, asking for a box, then throwing the box away in the parking lot. Stupid hot wings.

Saturday, we went to an amazing farmers market - there was so much produce and of course my favorite were all the free samples. I forgot my camera, but this was the entrance to the market and you can see all the tent tops if you look really hard.

There are several Romanesque fountains in Kansas City. This is Craig in front of the J.C. Nichols Fountain. We also like a fountain that had water squirting out of horses' noses.

We had some pretty ridiculous pictures - both of us sitting in front of Buddha (not sure if this is actually him) at the museum.

This picture makes it look like I'm not wearing any pants.

Trying to make it look like Craig was pushing this giant birdie over. I could not stop laughing though - he was just standing in the middle of this grassy area with his hands in the air asking if his hands were perfectly placed.

We also met up with Craig's brother, Curtis and had some delicious BBQ at a gas station called Oklahoma Joe's. The line was wrapped through the store and along the outside of the building - definitely worth the wait. No pictures though.

Saturday night, we headed to the Royals game. It was sooooo hot, but we had fun! We were glad to get away and spend time together before Craig starts living at the school!
