KC done cheap Part 2

On day 3 we took a tour of the Harley Davidson plant(I know every woman's dream:). We also went to a Royals game(my first major league baseball game), my aunt and uncle were lucky and had box seats for the night! Day 3 was a very cheap day for us we spent $0!!

Harley Plant:
The employee's that drive their bikes to work get to park right out in front(on the sidewalk).




Baseball Game:
We asked a very nice random stranger to take our picture with the field in the background and when he went to take the fountain came on.


Thats better!


View from our seats. I have to say I am very glad we had the box because it was HOT!!


The park has a Hall of Fame musuem which was actually interesting---these all the different types of bats throughout the years.

KC done cheap Part 1

Jeremy and I spent last week with my aunt and uncle and had a lot of fun seeing all the things Kansas City has to over! It was definitely a cheap vacation which was very nice--there are a lot of low cost and even free things to do in KC. I am going to have have several post about our trip(the previous post was day 1 and this post is day 2).

The most expensive place we went to was the Arabia Museum(I think it was around $14 a ticket for adults). The Arabia was a steamboat that sank on the Missouri River back in the 1800's. The people that originally found the boat had intentions of selling everything they found but then decided to have a museum displaying all the goods. There were all sorts of things found buttons, clothes, dishes, food, etc....One of the guys actually opened up a jar of pickles and ate one and said it was perfect(over 100year old jar).



What caused the boat to sink.

All the money that was found on the steamship--pocket change!




They found over 3 million buttons(sorry the picture is taken through glass and no flash allowed)


The only casualty the poor mule! His owner left him tied up on the lower deck and that is where they found him still tied up and with his saddle on.


The second thing we did on Day 2:

One of the federal reserve banks it was just like that movie "mad money"(I think that is what it was called with Diane Keaton and Katie Holmes)

KC is a town known for its fountains, I think there are over 200(they use to be horse troughs)



Now if we could just figure out how to piece it all back together!!

Weatherby Lake, MO

Last week Jeremy and I drove 10 hours to spend sometime with my aunt and uncle. They live on Weatherby Lake which is very close to Kansas City(which is a fun city to visit--more on that later).

Here are a few pictures from our first day there, we just hung out and went for a boat ride. The first picture is a view from the deck.




The following house was my favorite on the lake.

This is the house we stayed at................just kidding *lol*

it always seems to be like this.....

So he gets the nice blue skies no construction and I get the construction and TERRIBLE thunderstorm!! Seriously it was a downpour and I said "I think I am going to get off." and he said "Thats good because you are on the exit."

July

July has been a very busy month for us!! I have been getting things around to be able to start the RN program this fall. We went Lake James over the 4th of July and are getting ready to visit my Aunt and Uncle.

This little guy was born on his favorite Uncle's birthday!
