June 1, 2009 Our friends Don and Mary who are full timers stopped by for a visit on their way to the East Coast. We invited Ron and Shirley and Bill and Jo to come down for lunch on the day of Don and Mary's arrival. We enjoyed a few strawberry margaritas and then got busy planning out what to do the next day.
On June 2, 2009 we started the day with breakfast at MacDonald's and then we followed Bill down to the National World War I museum at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, MO. The Memorial is a beautiful structure which has a lot of improvement made to it so that it can house the World War I museum. The museum is outstanding and we spent several hours there. We rode up the elevator in the tower and then walked forty five steps to the top and outside. Outstanding views of the city from the top. It is a wonderful museum and gave us a better understanding of how the war was started and why it was called World War I.
After spending many hours at the museum we were all hungry and made our way to Arthur Bryant's restaurant in the 18th and Vine Jazz district. We had a large plate of ribs that were just delicious and enjoyed being in another historic part of Kansas City. After our tummies were full we headed to Ameristar Casino. Made our donations and headed home.
