Visit to KC

Kansas City is just a stone's throw from where we live (about a 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive) in Manhattan, so it's a pretty easy drive. And I love Kansas City!! We decided that we'd leave Manhattan early yesterday morning and pop over for a Royals Game...and, since tickets were 1/2 price for military, we'd be sure to have a good time for less!

On our drive over, the husband & I had the worst argument we've had since we've known each other (Whew, glad that's out of the way!) about....wait for it....driving directions. It was awesome. And, apparently I70 is our family's kryptonite. ;)

We got to the stadium about an hour before the game started so we had plenty of time to park, get tickets, stock up on wonderful stadium food for lunch and get settled. We were instructed (via a homemade printed sign on the tickets window) that, to receive military discounted tickets, we'd need to check in at another gate. We stood and looked around for a bit before we headed off around the side of the stadium. My wonderful husband, having just learned an important lesson already (see paragraph above) decided to stop and ask a couple of gate agents for...directions. :) It was then that I walked over to catch part of the conversation...and it was then that the gate agent pulled a couple of tickets out of his pocket and gave them to us free of charge! I was stunned and we shook his hand before we scurried off, feeling completely euphoric about our free tickets - and they were FANTASTICALLY located. Great view & plenty of shade.

Great day & great view - one of the nicest stadiums I've ever seen.

What a great day!

Oh, and the Royals won too!
