Got back from Kansas City last night. Was a fun weekend overall Went to a shareholders meeting in Omaha, over 40,000 people were there...it was crazy!
For the trip rundown, here is what my roomie, me, and his friend did: (mostly written down so I will remember hehe)
Friday - Flew into Kansas City, MO
- Freaking cold..was 30 F and we just missed a snow storm
- rented tiny little car (it was so tiny!)
- Rental car guy kept complaining about how Obama sucks and "the damn 4% tax hike"
- drove directly to Iowa to stay in a Super 8, was my first time seeing Iowa..was a combination of New Jersey and Delaware :-P
- walked around neighboring Omaha, Neb..our hotel was across the Missourah Rivah
- Walked across a large, curved, suspension bridge that crossed the Nebraska/Iowa border(that was cool AND cold :-P )
- Historic Omaha was really nice, got to slide down this awesome slide while there and see a bunch of cool antique stores. One reaked of cat pee and was voted "Omaha's best" which I thought was funny. Also, apparently concrete and Nebraska does not mix..everything that was made of it was under construction
- Ate at "Fusion" ..or "O" as the receipt said..had a fancy fountain which I liked
- Went to Iowa Walmart...O-M-G! Never saw so many broken faced people, the Derp was strong with them!
- Slept on a cot in hotel
Saturday - Omaha Nebraska
- Checked out of Super 8, and went to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting..so many people
- Got my picture with the Geico Gecko (and had to keep my paws to myself hehe)
- Walked around Omaha some more
- Drove back to Kansas, Missouri and stayed in a fancy, ultra modern hotel called "Aloft" I liked it A-Lot
- Slept on a crappy kids air bed on the floor, felt like the dog I am :-P
Sunday - Kansas City, MO
- Made it a point to tell my roomie and his friend they need to eat BBQ and try "Burnt Ends" a local food thing to eat
- Ate at Fiorella's and had tasty, tasty burnt ends and cheesy corn
- Missouri still lives up to the state with the best food in the country to me :-D
- Went to the art museum there and really enjoyed it
- Had to race back to airport, return tiny car, and get on plane
- Roomies friend got so annoying he literally gave me a migraine, so plane ride back I luckily took some meds
- Got back to Wash D.C, dropped off friend, then got back home around midnight
And there you have it, my weekend :-P

Glad you enjoyed yourself
If you saw a red car in the parking lot of Nebraska Furniture Mart with a paw print magnet on the back, I was in that. :v Ugh that parking lot was horrible...
Almost got hit twice by people not paying attention. :|
That and they're constantly adding new roads or shit they don't need to be doing while there's rush hour. Our road crews are pretty lazy, I've noticed. They'll just go off and eat long lunch breaks or spend their time talking instead of working.
"Burnt Ends".. I VERY MUCH remember eating there with someone so many years ago from there... And yes, you VERILY MUCH want to have those... *droooooools bigly*
Sounds like the awesome time!
I didn't like the cheesy corn at all. I'm just not a fan of cream of corn and this was very similar to it. The burnt ends with the honey glaze sauce was really good. I guess it's just not my kind of food, but it was good for the type of food it was. I'm also advised to try Oklahoma Joe's. We were going to go there Saturday but there was a line out the door so we're gonna try again later.
I am glad you had a good time out there.
