Project 52, weeks 34 & 35
Yesterday marked FOUR YEARS of marriage for Ron & I! Last year Ron wrote a guest post to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary which you can read here. And every year we update this little list to commemorate another year married. See more details from our wedding here.
Now that we’re settled back at home I thought I’d share more details of our weekend getaway to KC:
Bright and early Friday morning we were off for the airport! We arrived in KC & picked up our rental car and were on our way for the weekend. We wasted no time finding some BBQ!
We actually headed to Columbia, MO first as we had bought tickets for a concert Friday night (that unfortunately was canceled due to the lead singer having kidney stones – but luckily they announced a new tour & will actually be in MI in November so we promptly bought new tickets) We had already bought tickets to visit Warm Springs Ranch just outside Columbia, where the Budweiser Clydesdales are bred!
The ranch was beautiful, the tour fantastic, and the horses just incredible! Plus at least one of us got to indulge in a couple free beers 😉
Saturday we headed back to Kansas City, hit up the Negro League Baseball Museum, American Jazz Museum, and a Royals game! Of course we grabbed a donut from a little place called Harold’s to supplement our breakfast and they graciously gave us plenty of their stickers after we told them we have a dog named Harold 😉 Oh and we stopped by the library too of course!
On Sunday we strolled City Market which was near our AirBnb then after grabbing breakfast we headed out to see the Harry Truman Presidential Library.
Finally, on Monday we wrapped up with an incredibly awesome tour of a local coffee company, The Roasterie. As well as a visit to Union Station and the National WWI Museum. Then we walked around the Country Club Plaza and enjoyed spotting various fountains, before killing some time at an arcade, and then getting dinner at a nice Italian place with some really great food & dessert to round out our anniversary celebration!
We really enjoyed our weekend in Kansas City!
Happy anniversary! Sounds like you had a great weekend away.
Thank you! Yes, we did 🙂

Looks like another great trip in the books! You guys find the coolest museums and places to visit. We need to have you plan our trips. 😉 Love you!
Lots of planning ahead & reading ALLLLLLLL the articles/reviews I can find! May have missed a calling as a travel planner/agent 😉
Sounds great! We want to go to Warm Springs Ranch, but it hasn’t worked out yet!
We loved it! The employees were seriously the BEST, so friendly, kind, & patient.
Happy Friday Rechelle and Ron and pups! What a wonderful anniversary get away…I bet Hal and Hank were glad to see you, and vice versa! Enjoy the weekend!
Thanks Laurie! Yes, we are all so glad to be home together this week and looking forward to a weekend of just us 🙂
Oh how I miss Kansas City!! I love your baseball shoes- they are too cool! Your anniversary list is the neatest!!! What a great way to commemorate another year together and to document all of the highlights!
Thank you Shannon! I think we’ll enjoy looking back on the lists in many years and hopefully it helps us remember 😉
