However, I had a very exciting weekend before I arrived in Dallas via a detour through Kansas City. In addition to a great time catching up with friends and a lovely lunch with my parents, I finally got to see the Kansas City Live/Power&Light District/Sprint Center up-close. Very impressive!
I was especially impressed when rain rolled in while we were dining outside at the Maker's Mark restaurant and we didn't get wet! The storm was really loud, but the "ceiling" kept us dry.
