What can I say?? Both trips were amazing!!
Kansas City took about either an hour (or 2) to get there. When we finally did I got so excited...Lawrence is a nice town but it doesn't have any industrial buildings like a typical city. Kansas City on the other hand - does!
We drove through the city and saw the J.C Nichols Fountain...(which I didn't know about until right now as I just looked it up) and some other sights...that was most memorable though. We took a trip to the Nelson-Atkins Museum over in the Missouri side of the city. Kansas City (KC) is a city which lies on the state line of Kansas and Missouri, pretty cool that there are two states in one city! It was absolutely beautiful - the art museum and the weather.
We had lunch there and it was all pretty posh and had a look around. Although an alarm went off at some point and we all froze in shock - but it turned out to be a mistake! Was pretty exciting though...
After our trip to the museum we had a look around the shops in the city...including American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle Outfitters and Victoria's Secret (which was my first of several visits there).
The frat boy who I first met in the previous week (and who exchanged numbers with my roommate) was the one who took us away for the day to KC. Although he was originally from Los Angeles, he had grown up in there. So we went to his house to hang out afterwards.
His house was massive! It wasn't even one of the biggest ones in the area...and his family were lovely! His mum was friendly and offered us all a drink (non-alcoholic of course) and his dad was pretty funny. We met his youngest sister who was the cutest little four-year old and his other younger sister who was a stunning sixteen year old.
We hung out in his basement and chilled out. We talked about different things like what we'd like to do while living here and the places we wanted to see. As it was the other Scottish girls, a Swedish girl and an English guy on the trip - most of us mentioned that we wanted to go travelling...
We went home that day to intense thunder and lightning...I swear I think it almost hit the ground. But after about an hour or so of that it cleared up almost right away (it did that a lot in Kansas). We went to Chipotle when we got back - our first time there (for us foreign students) and relaxed. It had been a lovely day out.
