Sams watching the thing go back up...lol

 

Checkin' out all the fancey stuff around the hotel.

 

Gee...thanks Beej,

The last time I volunteered the question was raised..."Who here has a degree in Engineering"? Like a sap I raised my hand and spent a month picking up rocks on the 'Parade Ground'!

My grand scheme at this moment is to head out to San Diego in about 3 weeks...+ or -. I guess the Weather Gods might say differently.

Gotta make sure I stock up on Baked Beans in case I run low on fuel!

Mapping in Memphis, Go West Ole Man ed

Time for the elevator rides!!

​

 

...and go all the way up to the 18th floor!
{That's high for Kansas } ​

We start at the bottom....

 

Ok...well, the elevator pictures didn't turn out real good. We rode it quite a few times.........yes, people stare at us.......and wonder 'why' we don't get off the elevator.......and the old people glare at us.........but, its just once a year........and we just act like crazy tourists anyway. LOL

Hey!! Someone else posted on my thread!!!
Hi Ed! and Airking!Sooo....do you fly airplanes??http://pro.imagehost.biz/ims/pictes/209192.gif

Moving on..............
This is a picture of the ice skating place. ​

 

Now, wer'e in the glass sidewalk. It looks like this........

 

There's the birds......

 

Kinda dark, huh?

 

This is looking up at the mirror on the inside of the elevator.

 

This is one of the shop windows.

 

"Mom, can I ride the escalator again?"

 

This was Sam's favorite thing.
He remembered this and asked to play with this train set from last year.
We're too cheap to buy it.

 

Hey, I found some cool pictures!!
OK....this is downtown Kansas City. Missouri.

And the building in front with the arch windows is called Union Station.....it used to be an old train station for Kansas....{wayyyyy before my time} Now they've remodeled it...its a children's museum and I think, a bunch of resturants and stuff. We don't really have the money to go there.




This is the Mayor's Christmas tree.....and the ice skating.

Here's a picture of Bartle Hall. Its kinda cool cause its built over the highway.

Oh yeah, everyone in the car has to hold their breath when we go under bridges...so, they won't fall on us.
Hey, its quiet in the car for a few seconds!! http://img115.exs.cx/img115/9916/z4dwink.gif
