After a late night out at the Royals game with Martin Tuesday night, I ended up taking the day off yesterday for some local sight-seeing.\u00a0 While I was not aware of it, there are actually a precious few tourist attractions right here in our own little city.\u00a0 Johan and I started the day off with a long trip southwest to the beautiful city of Olathe.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We wanted to see the famed Garmin facility.\u00a0 Actually Johan was looking for a specific device, and we figured if anybody had it available it would be the place where they were made.\u00a0 Turned out to be not so clever an idea, they didn’t have much of anything.\u00a0 But, now I’ve seen the Garmin facility.\u00a0 Continuing our Tour de Electronics, we headed back east to the mecca known as Microcenter.\u00a0 We spent a little more time here than at Garmin, and made a few select purchases.\u00a0 Concluding our morning shopping trip, we headed to the Old\u00a0 Overland Park area and strolled the Farmers Market for a bit.\u00a0 I never even knew they had one on Wednesdays, we just kind of happened across it.\u00a0 Donette met us out there, and we picked up some nice looking produce for dinner.\u00a0 By this time we were getting hungry, so we headed downtown and hit Arthur Bryant’s<\/a> for lunch.\u00a0 I like that place better every time I go, it’s always a safe bet.\u00a0 It was worth noting that Johan did declare the TFB BBQ from last Saturday to be considerably better though.\u00a0 Actually he had a mouthful of brisket and I couldn’t understand him;\u00a0 He might have said “It’s hot out” or something, but that’s what I heard.\u00a0 After lunch we made the quick drive over to the Liberty Memorial<\/a>.\u00a0 Despite having lived in this city for a couple of years, I have never made it to this spot, so we all got to see something new.\u00a0 As everyone who has been has told me, it was very interesting, well worth the admission.\u00a0 We got to go up the tower too, and enjoy the great view.\u00a0 We spent several hours there, and then headed down the Boulevard Brewery.\u00a0 We had tried to get in on a tour, but their website showed them all booked through August.\u00a0 Still worth a stop though, we figured.\u00a0 As it turned out they let us in on the tour that had just started when we arrived, score!\u00a0 The tour was entertaining as always, I think I pick up new fact or two every time I go there.\u00a0 After that we started making our way back towards the house, by way of Costco of course.\u00a0 We bought some nice fat ribeyes for dinner, as we were starting to get a bit hungry again by that time.\u00a0 Luckily the package had four steaks in it, as I torched the first two beyond any recognition.\u00a0 I hate that grill, and I am convinced it hates me too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
