Country Club Plaza in Kansas City was designed in 1922 as the nation's first outdoor shopping center. Bet you didn't know that! The Plaza has great shops, restaurants, and lots of fountains and artwork. During the holidays, all the buildings have Christmas lights and beautiful decorations, so we decided to take a slow, leisurely carriage ride to take in all the sights. Lauren's been staying with us and my parents drove up from Wichita, making it a family affair. Too bad Zach's had to miss all this fun while he's in Germany for work!
The boys loved riding in the carriage and looking at all the lights. Our horse's name was Bob, but they didn't seem to pay too much attention to him. Dan was too busy hanging over the edge and Ben just wanted to stay warm and cozy. It was actually not too cold out, maybe about 45 degrees or so. After the ride, we had dinner and then my parents brought the boys home and Lauren and I walked around and window-shopped (and picked up dessert from The Cheesecake Factory, of course).
