Weekend of July 4, 2008

Thursday, July 3

Derek and Blake (younger brothers) arrived in Kansas City at 9pm. Clayton and Brett joined us for a trip to the Bottleneck in Lawrence, Kansas for the NEON Dance Party.

Friday, July 4

We checked out downtown Kansas City including the Liberty Memorial and the Power and Light District. We had lunch at Tengo Sed Cantina. After that we headed south in search of fireworks. After some driving, we found fireworks at 151st and Holmes. We then headed to Dave’s sister’s house in Raymore, MO to shoot off fireworks with Dave, Clayton and Dave’s family. Thanks to Dave and his family for inviting us.

Saturday, July 5

Mike (my best friend) arrived from Wichita, KS. We shopped in Waldo, then jumped on the MAX at 74th and Broadway. We stopped at Union Station where we toured, walked across the bridge to the crossroads, and walked around downtown a bit. We caught the MAX back from 20th and Main. Saturday night we went to a party at Stephen’s place. It was a great time. On the way home we stopped in at the neighborhood bar, Flo’s Polka Dot Lounge.
