Less than three and half hours away, Kansas City is one of our favorite weekend getaways. We have several friends that live there, so that adds to the fun and the ease of traveling there. I think my love of visiting KC is in part because the city reminds me of my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Tons of beautiful, historic homes. Wide streets lined with huge, shady trees. Old buildings revitalized into cool projects. And, bar-b-que – duh. While we didn’t get out and explore a ton on this trip, we did fill our visit with great food, drinks, and company. On Saturday night we went over to my buddy Bev’s house to watch Pee Wee’s Big Adventure in the backyard. Blankets, pillows, candy, rosé, popcorn, the biggest pizza I have ever seen and a lot of sleepy kids, made for the perfect KC evening to cap off our quick trip. Here are our adventures in pictures.
