Busy weekend in the Kenagy household.\u00a0 Since Johan has been visiting us, it’s sort of like we are trying to keep a vacation pace, but while working at the same time.\u00a0 Wears an old man out, but it’s a lot funner than my usual schedule.\u00a0 Friday was an exception to this, for me anyway.\u00a0 Donette and Johan went down to the Phoenix to watch Lonnie McFadden, but I got hung up at work and missed out.\u00a0 Boo-hoo for me.<\/p>\n
Saturday morning Donette and Johan got up quite early and headed out to the Jingle in July<\/a> 5k run up at Worlds of Fun.\u00a0 Very rare is the morning the wife beats me out of bed, but I didn’t even hear them leave.\u00a0 Sounded like fun;\u00a0 I’ll take their word for it.\u00a0 Johan turned in a quite respectable time.\u00a0 I think that was mostly out of self-preservation as he tried to distance himself from Susan & Donette, who were sporting Santa hats and sleigh bells.\u00a0 Donette bested her 5k time for the year by like 10 minutes too.\u00a0 It was either a “fast” course or she hasn’t been trying very hard the last few.\u00a0 By the time they finished I’d drug myself out of bed, and I met up with them at Eggcetera for some solid biscuits and gravy.\u00a0 For our evening entertainment, we headed down to the Power & Light district and had a monstrous burger at Gordon Biersch<\/a>.\u00a0 After filling our bellies, we hopped on the KC Strip Trolley and started a tour-de-KC back towards our house.\u00a0 We’d never taken the trolley before, but we had a coupon so we figured what the heck.\u00a0 It worked out nicely I’d say.\u00a0 It gave us a chance to hit all the “entertainment districts” in one evening.\u00a0 We started at the Power and Light, then hopped off and checked out Martini Corner<\/a>, on to Westport<\/a>, then the Plaza, and then finished out the evening in Waldo.\u00a0 Whew.\u00a0 Even better, we had the trolley all to ourselves the entire time, until the last leg from the Plaza to Waldo.\u00a0 At that point it went from just us three to absolutely crammed.\u00a0 Guess it’s more of a “late night” sort of thing maybe.<\/p>\n Sunday was a day of feeding.\u00a0 Munkirs joined me in the morning for a quick bike ride (somehow missing all the rain,) and then we met up with Susan out at Amigo’s in the ‘Dotte for a massive breakfast.\u00a0 That is to say, we ordered off the breakfast menu, it was after noon by the time we actually got out there.\u00a0 That kind of knocked the wind of us, so we stayed on the couch the rest of the afternoon, then it was off to Smokehouse BBQ<\/a> where we joined Donette’s parents for some dinner.\u00a0 I always forget just how good that place is, it ranks very high as one of my favorites in the city’s BBQ stops.\u00a0 Too bad it’s so incredibly far from our house.\u00a0 I stuck with my standard order, the rib platter.\u00a0 Not only is it good, it’s also one of the only places in town that I can afford the ribs, bonus.\u00a0 That wiped us all out for the evening.\u00a0 I wasn’t really hungry when we started, but it was so good I ate the entire platter, relegating me to the couch for the rest of the night.\u00a0 I think I need to ramp up the bike riding and slow down on the restaurant visits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Busy weekend in the Kenagy household.\u00a0 Since Johan has been visiting us, it’s sort of like we are trying to keep a vacation pace, but while working at the same time.\u00a0 Wears an old man out, but it’s a lot funner than my usual schedule.\u00a0 Friday was an exception to this, for me anyway.\u00a0 Donette […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
