Friends + KC+Branson = FUN (2)

On Saturday, after meeting for breakfast at our hotel, we headed out for another full day. Weather was gorgeous! First we went to Nell Hill's, a lovely home decor store. Sorry no photos - too busy shopping. This is the newest Nell Hill's store, located in a beautiful strip mall in a very posh neighborhood of KC. It's two story, even has an elevator for all those large purchases that must be carried downstairs to purchase. We all found things we just couldn't live without! :)

Then we were off to visit the National World War I Museum. This is the only memorial to WWI in the USA. It is wonderfully done! There was so much to read and see. We all agreed that our knowledge of WWI was almost nil, so we learned a lot here as well. (Another thing we learned about Truman was that after his failures in the oil business and as a haberdasher, it was WWI where his leadership skills were developed and hence his course into politics.)





The Kansas City, MO skyline from the tower of the WWI museum. So beautiful! The Old U.S. Post Office is in the foreground. We tried to go to dinner at a restaurant here but it closed at 4pm - on a Saturday!



Back to the hotel for a great round of Contract Rummy. Carey and Nancy introduced us to the game when we went to Hawaii together a few years ago. We've been playing it ever since! I especially LOVE it because it's the ONE game I can win at!




Lots of conversation, laughter, good food, and great time together. The next day Carey and Nancy would return home and we would go on to Branson with Larry and Elaine. Three cheers for good friends!!!
