A day in Kansas City, MO

Want a quick break from life and do a weekend trip?! Well perfect, because that is all you need for Kansas City, MO!  A friend of mine and I did a mini-vacation to Kansas City last weekend and by 4:00PM on Saturday, we were done with all the touring we could do!! Heres how you tackle KC, MO!!  Basic Itinerary for the weekend. When starting to drive, the address you want to put is for the original KC Joe's BBQ spot which is attached to a small gas station.

Time to Write

Hmmm... I must learn to be patient and become a fast reader!! Any tips on organizing all these papers and thoughts?!?! Feel free to comment! ~Cell-ebraTez
