The Arabia Museum is on our list of things to do the next time we make it to KC. The museum looks really neat and I am looking forward to it. We find the traffic in KC isn't to bad either but my dh is use to Montreal trafic so it doesn't bother him.
I thought it was totally fascinating! We spent way more time in there than most people, so much to read and look at.
Holy Mother of all updates. The Arabia finds/display was incredible! Thanks for sharing that! The facts about shoes and earrings were very interesting.
Your sassy photo with the sax cracked me up. LOL!!
You're welcome! And as Jill mentioned, the family thinks they may have located another such wreck, but he was pretty tight lipped about it, lest someone else steal their find.
I wasn't sure whether or not to post the saxophone pic, but I figured why the heck not?
I need to get back to the Arabia musuem. Last time I was there they had barely started the restoration of the goods...It really is an incredible story! The same family believes they have found another sunken ship and are working to excavate it as well.
Yeah, he mentioned that. He mentioned a whole bunch of other things in a Q&A with our group in the theater, but I thought the pictures were the best way to tell the story.
I'm drooling over all the BBQ. Arthur Bryant's is one of my favorites!
I've been there twice now, and I always seem to get the burnt ends, love them!
<scurries off to check flights.....>
I haven't set a date for the next one, but I'm leaning toward the end of September.
I knew you'd say that.
True.... but concentrate on those things. The rest... common sundries etc... sure, pack them of course, but it you forget those. No biggie.
See those are the ones I don't forget because I have a dedicated travel bathroom bag with all that kind of stuff. I rotate out the things like shampoo and deodorant, when I run out in my bedroom/bathroom, but I have an entire dresser dedicated to "stuff we use on vacation". Extra phone chargers, special pillow, Door magnet decorations, MBs, the creature comforts we like in the rooms....
Nice! And... I can see why she'd want to raise the rent, then.
They've been in there for over four years now and I've only done two rent increases since then. The two bedroom unit in front rented for more than they were paying for their three bedroom unit!
I'm in!!!!
Oh... wait.... Ruby says "No."
Yeah, a tear was shed by both Jill and myself. I believe that they did it just after I got back from KC, and didn't have the time to go for one last hurrah.
Not true DISers, then.
Not at all, or even close.
Yeah, tonight is Turkey a la King. Sauteed veggies, get turned into bechamel sauce, add turkey, serve over toast. Or English Muffins in my case. Tomorrow I'm using up the rest of the Pepper from tonight with fajitas. Only dirties one pan each night.
Good Lord. How exhausted were you?
Incredibly exhausted. I ordered room service around midnight after the concert and slept until the last possible moment and we checked out right at noon.
I have yet to see #3. And I'm not even positive I saw the second one either.
I liked the second one, it had lots of humor in it. The third one is bittersweet for me, partially because of the subject matter. I saw that one at the El Capitan Theater and cried almost the whole way through it. I know this because they had a Toy Story Fun Zone in the back for patrons to enjoy after the movie. Then we went to the Disney Studio Store and Soda Fountain after the movie. But that's closed now.
That would do it for me too! I just had some on Monday. Yum.
I think I'll put that on the menu for when we get back from Phoenix next month. I haven't made it in a while.
Well the kittens started it, they kept scratching me back then cause they didn't know their own strength. I had the same thing while you were visiting too. They have finally calmed down and stopped biting and playing with my forearms, but for a period of about six months my arms looked awful. There were a couple times (like getting our stuff out from under the bottom of the bus) where my arms got scraped and I was bleeding all over. Luckily that was after the concert and not before.
Really! I wouldn't have guessed. Huh!
We bought it because of Larry the Cable Guy, but when I finally got up the courage to make it, the batter was excellent!
Of course you were. You are hot.
Sure. Let's blame it on her.
ahem
Well, poop.
Oops! Sorry. Poor choice of words there.
It really was!
Really! I would've thought they'd skimp on that.
Well, the folks who were paying for it paid something like $9.95 or $12.95 for the "buffet". It was part buffet, and then there were a few different cooked to order entrees you could choose from. They gave each of us at least four pieces every morning, between that all everything else, omelettes, waffles, fruit, toast, potatoes, and sausage too, we couldn't eat that much bacon in one sitting.
Holy crap!
Oops! Again... poor choice of words.
They had a map on one of the walls with all the shipwrecks along the rivers and more than half I believe were explosions or steam engine fires.
Thanks for that. I found it very interesting.
You're welcome, I also learned about that on the Mississippi river cruise.
There was a time when there was no Walmart?????
way
Yeah, but I can't say that to her.....
Whoa..... And there's so much! I was pretty flabbergasted at the sheer volume of artifacts from one ship.
And how many of each of the items that there were was astonishing.
I'm betting the kids were pretty good.
Really, those must have been really tedious to clean, but the kid said that the whole family was involved for as long as he could remember.
Oh, man. The work that must take!
They explained part of the process and it takes a lot of distilled water and some other chemicals, but not a lot, the chemicals damage the stuff.
Nice! I like that they did that.... and could!
It also gave you a real sense of the size of the boat.
Huh. I wonder why yesterday it was so packed and today it wasn't.
The Day before was Memorial Day, I'm sure you're aware of the significance of that holiday. Most people don't realize that we are supposed to be celebrating fallen soldiers and not the first weekend of Barbeque.
Exactly why I didn't want to put the headphones on.
hmmm... no? At least not that particular model.
I just meant the fact that it was an 8 track tape player. I wonder how many folks here remember those....
I expect it with DVC, but not with a regular hotel.
Oops - I totally forgot you had this TR going! That Arabia museum and story are just insane! I had no clue about those steamship stores even existing (probably like the vast majority of us), much less about this particular one. So.Much.Stuff...
I knew about travel and commerce, but mostly transporting farmer's goods to market, not bringing goods to consumers.
And yes, I love both the trumpet and sax photos!
Thanks! I was trying to be humorous.
