Kansas City

ssUntitled-1
went to KC to visit pete's sis Molly who is doing her medical residency there- i had never really been except for passing through so it was fun to check out the town, starting with the awesome farmers market, pete and molly went bananas over it...hee hee

next up, molly in front of the WWI memorial which was very pretty, on a hilltop overlooking downtown sDSC_8948
there are thousands of names carved on to the entrance pathway

into the museum to purchase our tickets for the tower lookout

pete charges ahead

being memorial day weekend we thought the place was going to be packed
sDSC_8976
but we lucked out and happened to hit it at just the right time (between a few light rain showers) so had much room to ourselves

don't jump molly- you have so much to live for! okay...she's not jumping- only admiring the cool views of downtown

KC is known as the city of fountains- they say the only city with more is rome- here we are walking down to one right by the main shopping aveaDSC_9032
can you tell which ones are sculptures and which ones are just pete and molly pretending to be sculptures? i didn't think so! we are sooo tricky like that!

leaving the modern art museum-pete watch out- you are about to be attacked by a ginormous spider!
aDSC_9088 besides visiting the modern art museum we also went to the negro league baseball museum and the jazz museum which were very cool ( sorry- no pics- no camera's allowed!) but if you go to KC you should check um out! here are a few snaps of the area in which they are located
