Car Our Kansas City Journey.....

First of all, let me tell everyone who wasn't there what a fabulous time you missed. For those of you who do regular meet-ups and know how great they are - well multiply that at least ten-fold and you will get a slight idea of what KC was like!!!!!! Wherever and whenever, I will definitely do this again!!!!!

It was tremendously special to meet all the folks who attended and the furbutts couldn't be any cuter. Here is our travel log (Cyndi and Izzy - IzzyPrincess drove with us).....

Thursday, June 19
7:10am – teach my pilates class
8:00am – return home to load car and eat
8:30am – start heading out and swing through McDonalds for coffee
8:35am – spill coffee all over myself and car & burn hand pretty badly
8:46 am – drive home to change and clean car
9:00am – finally get on road!!!!!!!!!!
9:45am – meet Cyndi and Izzy in Toledo, load the car, potty break for all
10:15am – on the road to KC (with about 6 stops along the way and a very full packed car)
11:55pm – arrive in Kansas City!!!!!!

The very packed inside of the car

Friday, June 20
12:30am – head to bed
3:00am – Sissy FINALLY falls asleep
6:00am – wake up call from all 3 doggies!!!!!
9:00am – head into Leawood, KS to visit my aunt’s gravesite
10:00am – a little shopping on Hawthorne Plaza
12:00noon – return to Holiday Inn
1:30pm – lunch at MSM Grill on the Plaza
4:30pm – head to Loose Park for meet-up
7:00pm – return to hotel, eat some snacks for dinner
11:30pm – Des and Lisa return from dinner and girl talk ensues

A noteworthy personal detail; my aunt’s ashes are interred in the Memorial Gardens of her church. Sissy and Angel are both named in remembrance of my aunt. They went in their stroller with me, along with Izzy and Cyndi. When I went into the garden and put my hand on her plate, I felt as if I was being hugged and a sense of peace really settled in. We were only in the garden for about 3 minutes. The receptionist in the lobby had photos of her Westies in sight, so we stopped and chatted for a few moments about her dogs and she fussed over our girls. We then secured the girls back in their car seats, put the stroller in the trunk and started the car. Now, we had listened to my Ipod for the entire drive. When we arrived in KC the night before, I simply disconnected the Ipod and the first radio station that came in was where the radio was. Driving there, we weren’t paying any attention to the music as I was acting as tour guide for Cyndi. So, when I started the car and heard the song on the radio, I was astounded. I Hope You Dance was playing. This was the song I sang at my aunt’s funeral. I know she was sending me a message that she knew I was there and that everything would be okay. Needless to say, we drove out of the parking lot in tears (happy tears)……….

Also, we loved the Crazy Conondrum game and won 5 prizes from it!!!!! Then, I also won 5 fabulous raffle prizes (and I NEVER win anything)!!!!!!!! I think between LuckyLady, myself and Cyndi - we sort of cleaned up on the raffle prizes!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think to take any photos of those, but my crazy conondrum prizes were two yorkie kitchen towels, a pair of yorkie socks, a yorkie note pad and a yorkie post-it notes pad.

The raffle prizes I won were: The Fabulously Pink Basket from MissPink Barbie, an Ipod Shuffle from Katy's Mom, an embroidered tank top from Mitzi's Mom, a Skechers Gift Pack from RonLynn and a gift certificate from My Best Friend's Pawstry Shop from Rudy's Mom!!!!!!!!

OMG Jodie what a great job you did in describing our wonderful journey to KC! It was totally amazing and so happy that we went together and met so many wonderful people and their babies. Gotta love the pics!

Hey does anyone know why that cross is stuck in the middle of no man's land?
