Getting Settled in KC

 Kansas City, MO

The view of the Missouri River from our walk

Morning Dog Walk 

This morning we walked up the hill to see something we have never seen before, a private dog park. The West Terrace Off Leash Dog Park is $50 a year.  For that, you get a very nice dog park with plenty of live grass.  If we were living here we would probably pony up the money because it is close and very nice.  We walked Francis in the nice grassy area around the dog park instead.

We wanted to walk up the steps because there was a fountain cascading down the side but the water was attracting giant hornets and we weren't sure if they were the attacky kind.  Turns out they are not aggressive. They are called Eastern Cicada Killers and they are pretty scary looking.

$50 a year!

Kite Statues

The view was very nice and the park was great.  We will be back

We can't get away from Lewis and Clark.  They have been everywhere we have been only years before and they walked it.

One of Kansas City's nicknames is City of Fountains.

Grocery Shopping and Accidental County Collecting

We needed to get food supplies so we routed a course to closest Hy-Vee, the local normal supermarket, and headed out.  To our surprise, we got 2 new counties.  I guess it shouldn't be a surprise since we are surrounded by counties we haven't been to.

They're crazy about their Chiefs around here.

Almost every direction is a new county!

Getting Settled

The rest of the day we rearranged cabinets and put our stuff away.  We are mostly settled now.  Tomorrow we will start checking things off starting with public transit and a museum.  There seems to be a lot of great things to do here so we are ready to get exploring.

When we move things, we take photos so we can put them back when we move out.
