We wanted to do something special for our 1st Anniversary, and when the Army gave us a 4 day weekend, we decided that was the perfect opportunity for a little getaway to Kansas City. It was a relaxing weekend filled with a lot of shopping (yes, I have the best husband in the world), eating, driving around, and touring. Our families favorite kind of vacation! Some of the highlights were: touring the Harley Davidson factory, visiting Hallmark headquarters, chasing the google car, seeing many different fountains around Kansas City, and eating at Grinders Pizza (a Dinners, Drive-ins, & Dives recommendation that did not fail!).
No pictures were allowed inside the Harley Davidson factory, but it was indeed very cool. Shane enjoyed seeing the power train operations up close, as he'd studied so much about that at school. The tour walked us through the ground floor of the plant, where we saw machines making every part of a motorcycle.
Nerd alert! As we were driving Shane spotted the "google car" and so of course we had to chase it for a while to get close enough for a good picture. I can't tell you how many times I virtually walk down streets on google images, so we were both over the top excited to see a google camera car in person! There may or may not have been some smiling & waving going on. Although, rest assured we did not look like this.
While Hallmark headquarters didn't have a factory, we enjoyed walking through the history of Hallmark museum, and watching gift bows being made from machines in a matter of seconds. It was neat to see Hallmark products, cards, and movies from a long time ago, and from different countries around the world.
Pretty botanical gardens we walked around.
