Fun Trip!

Ahhh, we had such a great time on our trip. It didn't feel quite long enough, but vacations rarely are huh? ;)

We had a nice car ride up to Kansas City. About four and a half hours, which you'd think might be boring, but I actually look forward to that time alone in the car with no distractions. I just get to sit and talk to my hubby ;) We're always reading a book together, usually at bed time we take turns reading back and forth to each other, but since we're in the car and Kenny's driving I take turns reading our book and listening to Kenny's huge CD collection. We also got to see a gorgeous sunset. I love how in the picture the three light poles look like the three crosses on calvary.

Just as we got to Kansas City we hit a MAJOR traffic jam. Pretty strange for eight o'clock at night. But, traffic cones were narrowing I-35 down to ONE LANE! Eeeekk ;) So, we merged (very slowly) all the way over to the left, then all the way over to the right. Pretty strange! It took us about twenty five minutes to go the last three miles to our hotel. We were getting pretty hungry by that time. I am so thankful for Kenny's patience and good nature in situations like that. When we're able to just laugh and make the situation fun it is SO MUCH better.

Kenny's Dad and Mom and ordered pizza for us, so we were ready to eat as soon as we got checked in. We stayed at the Drury Inn in Merriam Kansas. It was pretty nice and we even got rooms that were right next door to each other with a door in between :D

We set out the next day for our Zoo adventure. The Kansas City Zoo was so neat. Cecilia and I loved the little Red Pandas. They looked like sweet poofy puppies! In the center of the Zoo is the Australia area there is a wide open area where they have the Kangaroos...WIDE OPEN they weren't fenced in at all WOW! They also have an Africa area that is huge with a lake and all different animals from Africa. Fun Day!!
