Kansas City (Part 3) - Cheap Lunch

We drove around a bit trying to find some place to eat for lunch, we were Googling and Yelping things but couldn’t decide on what to eat. We drove around and Yelp this restaurant that was in a house. I forgot what it’s called but it had a lot of good reviews. We didn’t eat there though because it was getting late and we didn’t want to spend that much since we’ll be eating a little later so we settled on McDonald’s. We just got a few things from the dollar menu and by the time we were done we went back to check into our Cabin at the Worlds of Fun Village. 

The lady that we got our tickets from was still there so she remembered me and got my key card ready for me. I have to say check in to that place was much more simple than other hotels so the people working there were real nice. We got our cabin and when we entered it was so cold in there which is just perfect since it was around 100 degrees outside. We settled in there for a while watch some TV use the restroom, some of us went to the pool for a dip. We took some pictures together and then finally it was around the time for dinner... continued.

Kansas City (Part 2) - Worlds of Fun Morning

We got a package deal at Worlds of Fun and we rented a cabin on site for the night. The thing was is that we wouldn’t be able to check into our cabin until 4pm either way we went to the offices to pick up our tickets to get into Worlds of Fun. The way we went into the park wasn’t through the normal entrance but through the way of Oceans of Fun. You know for some reason I was expecting to see some great bodies passing by there but instead I've seen more cellulite and body hair than I would care to ever see. The first ride we went on was "The Mamba" good thing too because the line was short and the ride is just straight up AWESOME! It was just a regular steal roller coaster, no upside down loops or anything but it was fast, and hilly. A ride we went on that was a real disappointment was "The Detonator" it was one of those lift rides that shoots you up real fast and drops you again. There's many variations of that kind of ride on popular one is on top of the Stratosphers in Vegas. I don't know what kind of problems they were having at the place but it seems like they had issues with them launching. So we would have to wait longer in line while they would have to shoot one of them up at a time with not full seating. For a ride that was less than a minute it was definitely not worth the wait.


It was very hot that day, I believe it did hit 100 degrees and it shows as we were walking to the next ride sweating every step we took. What I really dislike about amusement parks is the water rides they have. Yes it does people cool when it’s insanely hot outside but I feel it also removes any deodorant they had on prior so all you would smell is their BO once they start sweating again after the water ride. It was around lunch time and we were debating where to go and if we were wanting to eat there or someplace else to eat... continued.

Kansas City (Part 1) - Wake up!

Woke up Saturday morning by a knock on my window from my cousin Camrein. I had a heavy night before of drinking, clubbing, and a friend that went to jail and I had a drive to Kansas City ahead of me. We were suppose to leave Des Moines by 7:00am but instead I woke up at that time and threw a few clothes into a backpack and showered real quick. I still had a slight hangover so I swallowed some Aleve contacted all my cousins that we’ll be leaving a few minutes. Got things in the trunk of the car and we’re off to Kansas City to spend a day at Worlds of Fun. 

I had my cousin Rosie drive the way there to Kansas City so I can catch up on a little sleep and recover a little from my hangover. She didn’t have no problems with that so I slept probably for an hour on our way there. My cousin Camrein thought it would be great to snap a picture of me while sleeping. Thanks Cam. 

The closer we got to Kansas City to get gas and coffee. I forgot what the gas station was I should have been better at documenting all of this but it’s whatever we got a lot of other video footage that I had my cousin Ona recorded on one of my camera so I can edit and put together later. 

After a little more of a drive we finally got to Worlds of Fun... continued.

July Weekend of Friday 13

Had another tamed weekend, just hanging out with my cousin. So just this past weekend I tried to keep it not he down low since next week we'll be doing a road trip to Kansas City for Worlds of Fun.

This Friday 7/13 I had dinner with my cousin and we went to 801 Chophouse. Typically we really wouldn't be spending that much on dinner but there was a Groupon deal for $40.00 we're given $80.00 to spend so just double our spending. We started out with fried calamari which included zucchini and squash. The dipping sauce that was included was so great, I don't really know how to describe it but believe me if you decide to go there ask for extra sauce. For dinner I went with a 16 oz Ribeye (medium rare) and my cousin got her favorite Prime Rib. For the sides we got Boursin Mashed Potatoes and Baked Creamed Spinach that's served out to share between both of us. I really love going to steakhouses that knows how to cook steak because when I asked for medium rare it was definitely medium rare and simply just melts in your mouth. It could be the USDA Prime Beef but I think I just ate the best steak I've ever had.

Saturday was pretty a chill day, despite the 100° weather we went to my favorite place for pho, "Pho K&K." I'm definitely eating well these past days because especially that day the pho was so on point. The broth was just right that I barely used any other fix-ins in it, just a little Sriracha and Hoisen Sauce. We all seem to enjoy our pho today here is a before and after pic below.

Sunday we had a late lunch/dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and stopped by Pete Crivaro Park for some snow cones. So perfect for this hot weather we're having this summer. Later in the day we ended watching some movie on Netflix and to where I am today typing up this blog entry. Good night everybody, hope you had a great weekend and a great Monday.
