Kansas City Pics


This was one of the many statues in the Plaza. It made me laugh when I saw it.

This is the JC Nichols Memorial Fountain at the entrance to Country Club Plaza. Over 30 restaurants and around 100 shops. It is a great place to walk around.

Did not have time to go to the zoo, but at least I know how easy it is to find!

I had a really great trip in KC. I flew in Tuesday morning and drove around for awhile. It is kind of hard to get lost, as there is a highway (435) that does a big circle around the city. I stayed at the Marriott Country Club Plaza in a beautiful room. The entire hotel had recently been renovated.

I finally got to meet my boss, Patty, in person. I have worked for her since April and all interview, conversations, training have been by phone and live meeting via the computers. Pickin her up from the airport was fun, as I had no clue what she looked like. She is FABULOUS!!! I had a blast spending the time with her. My new job is going to be very time intensive. I was exhausted after client meetings on Wednesday.

Thursday, we had lunch downtown in the Power & Light District at Gordon Biersch. It is a brewery and the food is great. It is just one of the many restaurants that surrounds a plaza that has a stage with free music most nights. When we were leaving, they were doing sound check for Dierks Bentley! He was giving a free concert that night. This area has a roof and heat lamps and fire pits and comfy seating. There are multiple restaurants with outdoor seating so you can enjoy a meal and music at the same time.
