Today, however, was a "game changer"! Duane mentioned last weekend, as we were watching Lidia Bastianich cook another MOUTH WATERING Italian dish on "Lidia's Italy", that she has a restaurant in Kansas City.
We've been to Kansas City a couple of times, and we LOVE it there...it's a city, but kind of laid back, with a Southern/Midwestern vibe...good antiquing, great art museums, and a really cool World War I monument and museum. Every time we go, we find great things to occupy our time.
Sooo....while watching the show, he suggested that we go to Lidia's restaurant for brunch, and...today we did! We got up, checked seat availability, got ready, headed to the airport, caught a morning flight, went to the restaurant...and the restored train depot (gorgeous!)...and the antique mall...and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art...and even had a few minutes to walk around the grounds of the monument! (We have learned to cover A LOT of ground in a very short amount of time!)
After "power sightseeing", we headed back to the airport (we were even able to get first class seats on the way back), and made it home by 6:30...a full day, but REALLY, REALLY fun, and spontaneous, and...fun!!
Here are some photos from our day...
Here's hoping YOU were able to enjoy a spontaneous journey recently too!!!!
