Mummy and Daddy recently took a road trip to Kansas City to see Jeff and Mollie, and celebrate Mum’s birthday. The following account is second hand, as I wasn’t invited along on this trip.
Jeff and Mollie have a great little place in Overland Park. Mollie and her mom, Sherri, have done a wonderful job of making it very homey. You can see Mollie’s personality in the décor and Jeff’s handiwork with paint and some minor construction. Here they are in their living room. Are these two the cutest couple ever?!
Jeff is working in the advertising department of KSHB, the Kansas City NBC affiliate. Here's a picture in front of the TV station. Mollie is working for Edward Jones. They love living in the city … so much to see and do for young couples!
For lunch, Jeff introduced us to some authentic Kansas City bar-be-que at Oklahoma Joe’s. At 11:30 am, we queued the line that was already out the door. The restaurant is in the back half of a gas station! It was interesting to see the amount of traffic for the restaurant amid the back drop of the filing station .. that, frankly, didn’t seem all that busy. But then again, we were face down in some pretty awesome KC BBQ and not really watching the gas pumps.
After lunch, Pop and brother went back to Jeff’s apartment to watch an epic KU-MU basketball game, Mom and Mollie participated in their favorite sport .. shopping at Town Center Plaza.
For dinner that evening, we gathered along with Jac and Sherri Comfort, Mollie’s folks, at Seasons 52. The restaurant’s menu is seasonally inspired and changes frequently. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was terrific, and the company was top shelf. The server helped capture the event with a picture.
The next morning, Mollie put together a fabulous birthday brunch .. and there were presents … because who doesn’t love presents!
With Jeff and Mollie just three short hours away, the 'rents have plenty of incentive to hit the road ... and just maybe take me with them ...
