Fritz's and Union Station

On Saturday, we checked off one of our must-do-in-KC things:  eating at Fritz's.  Fritz's has three locations but we went to the oldest one in KCK.  The unique thing about the restaurant is that it has a train on a track above the tables and that's how the food is delivered to the tables (a basket hangs below the train).  Needless to say, Dan and Ben were fascinated.  Breakfast was pretty good and we'll probably try one of the other locations for lunch before we leave next summer.

After breakfast, we drove to Union Station, which used to be a major passenger hub.  Now, it's still an Amtrak station but it also has a kids' science museum, a rail museum, a rotating exhibit with Titanic stuff, and lots of shops and restaurants.  We checked out Science City, the K.C. Rail Experience and the Model Railroad Experience.  The boys LOVED everything, especially the model train exhibit.  Every five seconds, one of them said, "Look, Mommy! LOOK! LOOK!"  They also had a great time at the science museum and we will definitely be back soon.
