Tashi’s birthday gift to me this year was a surprise trip to one of my favorite places, Powell Gardens. It was a lovely day and the weather was perfect. Below are some of the pictures I took today. We had lunch at the garden’s Café Thyme. They offer a wide variety of healthy lunch and snacks … More Revisiting Powell Gardens
After running errands yesterday, T and I dropped by at the Ewing and Muriel Kaufmann Memorial Garden. The garden was beautiful! Unfortunately, it wasn’t as serene as I thought it would be. It was in fact a very busy place (at least yesterday). There were at least three different groups taking event photos; one a … More The Ewing and Muriel Kauffman Memorial Garden
I finally have the week-end off. To take advantage of the beautiful weather Tashi and I decided it would be a good time to de-stress at the Zoo. Even though, I’ve been to the Kansas City Zoo so many times, I still look forward to seeing my favorites every time we visit. First on our list … More Another Day At The Zoo
Everytime Tashi and I talk about our plans to visit the Philippines (hopefully this year), Baguio City is always included in our list of places to visit. I’ve been to Baguio City quite a few times but I never get tired of it and I don’t think I ever will. It’s a beautiful place and … More Baguio City
Tashi and I both took the day off today and decided to use the free entrance coupon to the Zoo that the Kansas City Zoo sent us last month. We started our adventure by paying Nikita and Berlin a visit at the Polar Bear Passage. I was glad to see that despite being watched by … More Kansas City Zoo
So after being ‘chased out’ of the Riverside Cemetery by a scary-looking driver in an old and rusty pick-up truck, we proceeded to Lover’s Leap before finally hitting the road back to Kansas City. Weird, but the experience was a little exciting. It felt like I was in a scary movie. I think that … More Lover’s Leap
Liz and Steve are not just our friends they are also our Halloween-tour buddies. Tashi and I have gone to Atchison, Kansas with them back in 2010 for the Haunted Atchison Trolley Tour and to Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri last October 2011. So it felt like we were on a Halloween-tour with … More Riverside Cemetery
For our lunch our tour guides recommended Mark Twain Dinette. Food was just okay to me. I liked the root beer though. I heard it was homemade. Afterwards, the four of us headed back to the Cave Complex for our next tour – Mark Twain cave tour. We first watched a 10-minute video … More Mark Twain Cave Complex – Part 2
After almost four hours, including rest/shopping time at the Ozarkland, we finally and safely arrived to our destination – Mark Twain Cave Complex located at Hannibal, Missouri, Mark Twain’s hometown. Talk about spending the day touring caves! I was really excited! I’ve toured a cave once back in 2003, the Crystal Cave in Baguio City … More Mark Twain Cave Complex – Part 1
Yesterday, Tashi and I and our friends Liz and Steve set on a roadtrip to visit and explore the caves at Mark Twain’s hometown – Hannibal, Missouri. We left before 8:00am and after two hours of being on the road, we are ready for some rest. Guess where we exited? To the Ozarkland! … More Ozarkland
