This weekend, my good friend Jamie and I traveled back home to Platte City to attend our 10 year high school reunion. Jamie and I grew up together - we met when we were 4 years old. I can still remember the day that Jamie and her younger sister Jenni moved up the street. She moved to North Carolina when we were in high school and it has been so great to reconnect with her when Doug and I moved here two years ago.
Did you guys see the movie, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (pictured above)? It's a story about two friends going back to their 10 year high school reunion. Thankfully, our story was a lot different - and we had a great trip together.
Thursday
Since our flight was delayed we got into Kansas City really late, almost 2:00 am. We did have a lot to catch up on, so the airport time was put to good use.
Friday We had a slow start to our day, with our lack of sleep the night before. Our good friend Carrie met up with us and we headed down to Kansas City. We stopped for lunch at Gates BBQ (screaming HOW MAY I HELP YOU?) We also took a quick look at the new Power & Light District. We continued down to Brookside where we walked around the cute downtown, did a little shopping, drank coffee and enjoyed the beautiful Kansas City weather (a rarity in August). On Friday evening we went to our first reunion event - an event at a local bar in Kansas City. It was great to see everyone and catch up.Saturday
On Saturday, Jamie and I showed up at the end of the second event -a school tour. Even though we only got to see the entryway and library, it's amazing to see how different the school is from 10 years ago. When we were in school, they didn't even have air conditioning. We also met up with some girls from our class for a lunch at a local favorite - The Pizza Shoppe. Jamie & I then walked around Zona Rosa, doing a little shopping. We then headed over for the T-Bones minor league baseball game. The tailgate was a family friendly event, so we got to meet lots of kids. Jamie & I stayed for the tailgate, but passed on the game. We ended our last night in Kansas City with a drink at the Power Plant Brewery- outside on the patio with the trains rushing by.
It was so much fun to hang out with Jamie & Carrie in Kansas City and see so many old friends. I'm so glad we made the trip.
