We had a big day on Saturday. ORBJ slept in (after an hour of tossing and turning). In fact, I had to turn away various family members who came by to see her because she was still asleep. Finally, around 8, I woke her up.
After a hearty breakfast (gotta love the breakfast buffet when you're jet lagged and it feels like lunchtime), we were off for another visit with Aunt Reta. Then, we went to the zoo (although, unlike Mr. Funny, we did not drive there in a shoe). The KC Zoo is very impressive and affordable. We could have spent hours there, but we had planned to return to the Plaza for a late lunch at Houston's.
As you can see, ORBJ, PL, and UM all enjoyed themselves. I did, too.
The weather was great, and the facility is very nice. Next time, we'll try the boat ride or the ariel tram (i.e. a ski lift over the giraffes and other African animals).
Lunch was hearty and well earned. Afternoon was lazy time spent with family, which ORBJ thoroughly enjoyed.
More family time occurred Sunday morning. It took me three attempts to find a shop open early on Sunday morning in the Plaza to buy the New York Times. So I got a bit of exercise.
After lunch, we said goodbye to PL and UM and went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for a brief tour before one final visit with Aunt Reta. ORBJ had some final quality grandkid time that evening, and we were off to the airport the next morning.
On the way to KC, ORBJ got very excited every time on the plane they announced "Kansas City." "Dada, they just said Kansas City!" To her, this never got old.
She had the same excitement on Monday every time they announced our next destination - Washington DC.
