kansas city, i love you.

Recently Will and I made a quick trip up to Kansas City to see my sister. Not only do I love Kansas City because it holds some of my favorite people, but because of the city itself. There's so many little pockets of good, and I'm always sad to go. 

This road trip also wrapped up the last of Will and I's two year long road trip venturing (not for good but we were at a point where we were road tripping every weekend and doing long distance). And while I'm ready to sit and slow down, it was a bit sad. We've driven through 18 states in the past 2 years, seen such beauty, had great food/ crappy food, and smiled so much along the way. I would not want to do it with anyone else more than Will. 

This time feels like a new page, but I'm so glad we could do it and take what we have seen into this paragraph (not so much a page, but not so much a chapter).

when we visit KC: 
- we went to Goat Hill everyday (no lie), it's probably a good thing we don't live there. 
- waited for an hour and a half for Kansas City Joes, and it was so worth it, the Z Man is actually the best thing, and Will's favorite meal in the whole world. it's a small (although wildly popular) BBQ joint in a gas station that has everyone waiting out the door for every day. 
- had a Harry Potter movie marathon with my sister- a love language of mine.
- found Mexico vanilla at a market (which is so hard to come by)(by found i mean Meredith showed me where she found it). 
- lazy river-ed it up. my sister has this thing for pools and has one she goes to probably every other day with a lazy river. best. thing. 
- listened to Harry Potter on audiobook (team Jim Dale alllll the way).
