Trip to Kansas City

We are NOT city folks and going to Kansas City is torture for both of us. Vince had a medical appointment today in Kansas City. We spent several hours over the last few days checking out restaurants to find a good place to eat lunch. We wanted something with good ratings, foods we liked, not too expensive and close to where we were going to be. Most important - a place that was open on Mondays!  We had narrowed it down to three places. We talked about it more on the way to KC this morning and had our minds made up. We were going to Maggiano's Little Italy. 

The appointment lasted a couple of hours. We were both starving. At the very end, there was a test the doctor wanted Vince to have. The doctor, being aware that we had traveled 2.5 hours for the appointment, asked if we wanted to get the test done today if they could work us in. Yes! The nurse, who knew we were going to eat lunch, came back and said "Can you be back here at 1:30?" It was already 12:30, we were at least 15 minutes from the restaurant. Vince and I both looked at each other and said "Yes, we'll be here at 1:30."

We ended up eating at Chick-fil-A - not where either of us would have chosen but we didn't have a lot of choices. It was that or Whataburger. The disappointment of not being able to eat where we had planned, was not a big deal. We were so happy to be able to get Vince's test done without having to make another trip to KC. The test was good - better than the doctor expected it to be. A different doctor called while we were driving home and told Vince the test looked GREAT! 

We left the house this morning at 7:30 and got home at 5 p.m. Oscar and Cooper were so happy to see us. I don't think we've ever left them that long. I fully expected us to be home before 3.

I think all of us will sleep quite well tonight. The guys are coming to change out the vinyl "wrapping" around all the doors tomorrow and they're supposed to be here at 8:30 a.m. I'm so hoping that's a quick job and they'll be out of here early.
