Weekend in Kansas City

This weekend we had a great time visiting Kansas City!! We enjoyed lots of great food and enjoyed the time with Ann & Bill and friends. Saturday night we went to a great German restaurant downtown and then out to a sports bar. Although it was a bummer of a game for Gonzaga, we enjoyed catching up with friends. Sunday we went and had authentic Kansas City BBQ before going to the Jazz museum. We enjoyed seeing the Jazz museum, which is next to the baseball museum we went to last summer. Monday we relaxed and watched the inauguration festivities before headed home. It was nice to get away for the weekend, and be in Kansas during the winter. Next time we are there in July it will be much warmer though :)

Patsy was excited to see us :)

Hannah at the Chili!!

Last night was had a great night out with the Brown's, many Harris's, in addition to many friends! Hannah doesn't get the chance to go to the Chili much as Grand Rapids is pretty far. We had a great time, and even danced a bit to some classics!

Pretty sure we have dozens of pictures of the four of us...had to get one more!

Sound Garden

This afternoon was actually sunny in Seattle, so Pat and I went for an impromptu adventure! First stop was Matthews Beach. It was so beautiful with the sun on the snowing mountains in the distance! Next stop was the Sound Garden on the NOAA campus in Magnuson. Neither of us had been there before. After signing in and getting our official clearance and parking pass we were all set. I had no idea what to expect, and although I would have missed them on my own, the sculptures were pretty cool. We both want to go back again on a day when it is windy to hear the chimes, but even in silence it was fun to see!
