Local Brewery
Highlights:
- Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead – “Dylan” caught a fish, Luke fed a goat, both boys successfully mined for priceless gemstones
- Combat Air Museum – Felt the need, the need for speed
- Red Crow Brewery – Plenty of perfectly safe places for your children to wander around while you drink beer
Low-lights:
- Flight to Kansas City cancelled, rerouted through Chicago, arrived in Olathe just in time for a solid 5 hours of sleep before the race
- Fighting a stomach bug, still managed to set a personal record…for porta-potties hit during one marathon
- Significance of the Brown v. Board of Education museum way over Luke and Dylan’s heads
Thanks:
- To Shannon for once again herding our kids through airport security, shuttle buses, rental car counters, late night hotel check-ins, complimentary hotel breakfasts and multiple visits to the hotel pool.
- To Luke for once again helping me close out the final 100 yards of a marathon.
- To Dylan for once again managing to fall asleep anywhere, any time.
