Hey Explorers!

We took part in our very first Kansas City Restaurant Week, and what an experience!

For those of you who may not know about Restaurant Week, Over 200 area restaurants participate in a 10-day event showcasing the best of their menu at special pricing! The best part is, a portion of the proceeds go to Cornerstones of Care, Visit KC Foundation, and the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association Education Foundation!

We had a delicious time trying out three restaurants for the very first time, Eggtc., QZ Poke & Ramen-Legends, and Hamburger Mary's Kansas City!

Check out the video here:

We are so sad to hear of the passing of Berlin, a beloved icon of the KC Zoo.

Though it's a bittersweet moment, we have so many lovely memories of interacting with the oldest living polar bear in human care.

Our hearts go out to her caretakers, zoo staff, and the many fans of Berlin.

The Kansas City Zoo is mourning the loss of 33-year-old polar bear Berlin, who resided here for a decade. Berlin was the oldest polar bear in human care in the United States, and perhaps in North America, which is a testament to the extraordinary care she received from her animal care and veterinary health teams. Berlin had been experiencing hypertension and renal failure, and treatment options had been exhausted so the difficult decision to euthanize her was made yesterday morning.

Berlin was born at the Cincinnati Zoo on December 11, 1989, just a little over a month after the Berlin Wall fell, so she was given her unique name honoring the event. In 2012, Berlin was residing at Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth when it flooded, and famously swam to the perimeter wall of her habitat where she waited until staff arrived and discovered her. She was temporarily housed at Como Zoo in Saint Paul and arrived in Kansas City from there in December 2012.

Berlin was a beloved ambassador for her species and helped contribute to research that has benefited the wild polar bear population. Her animal care specialists commended her big personality and described her as “smart and sassy” and say she gave all of her caregivers “a run for their money!”

Berlin will be dearly missed by her Zoo family, including staff, volunteers, and guests. The Kansas City Zoo will make its annual contribution from the Zoo’s Conservation Fund to Polar Bears International in memory of Berlin this year to aid in conserving this amazing, vulnerable species and their habitat in the wild.

The real reason we packed up and came to St Louis… Dez’s little sister’s Super Regional competition! They killed it and took 2nd place! 😍

Liberty Memorial is one of the most prominent landmarks in Downtown Kansas City and is quite possibly the best place to get that souvenir selfie!

Take a walk around the grounds and catch the beautiful views from this historic monument!

Rob snapped some epic shots of the KC Streetcar down at the Power and Light District.

The PNL District is the coolest place to get great photos in Downtown KC ,because no matter where you look you can get a good angle of the Streetcar in its natural environment!

The gorgeous Slot Canyon awaits hikers on the White Domes Loop trail at the Valley of Fire State Park.

The result of thousands of years of erosion, this canyon acts as a respite from the desert heat and a great place to soak in the beauty and power of Mother Nature.

When you can’t make it to Paris…Vegas will do🤪

Immersive hotels like the Paris Hotel are a prime example of why Las Vegas is ‘Disneyland for adults’!

Hiking in the Valley of Fire is a transcendental experience! Though it was a 100 degree (37.78 degrees C) day, we managed to get some respite in the amazingly beautiful Slot Canyon.😍😍

**ATTENTION SHOPPERS**
Omega Mart is more than meets the eye.

What started as a simple grocery run, turned into a 6 hour experience we will never forget!

Bravo

Area 15!
We went down the rabbit hole in this aesthetic wonderland! Seriously. We spent 6 HOURS in this grown-up playground and barely scratched the surface.

Best day ever!!!

Waking up in Vegas!

Brunch at !

We can’t say enough about how phenomenal everything about this place is, but WOW!

The food is expertly handcrafted (Rob LOVED his croque madam) and service was impeccable.

Oh, and don’t forget to start your morning off right with an Irish Coffee ☘️
