Free things to do

Basswood Resort
Platte City, MO

We're learning as we go.
As we're on a budget (isn't everyone?!),
I used the power of Google to
find free things to do in the area.

One cool thing is the



George has always wanted a Harley,
and in fact, we rented one a few
years back when we were visiting 
his brother in Houston.

The tour was pretty neat,
but..
the plant was down for maintenance
and..
you couldn't take any pictures inside.
So, not a lot to share :-)

We also found a nice place
in Kansas City,
called the City Market.


It's another great thing to do,
there are lots of produce stands


interesting markets



and a great Mediterranean market..



George was like a kid in a candy store..
all those spices!!

I still continue to get calls from work..


We picked up a few things
to bring back for a late lunch/early dinner.

George and I decided to 
take a walk around the 
campground again..
the colors are so nice here.



Now we're settled in for the evening.
We skyped with George's daughter, Heather,
I just love that program!

It's raining out, and some storms
are scheduled for tomorrow,
so we will no doubt hunker down
and do wash and watch a movie.

  3. Oooh. I so love markets with fresh produce, spices, gelato. Looks wonderful. I'm already scoping out markets on our trip to Australia. We will have a time share with kitchen and want to eat healthy (most of the time), pack picnic lunches and enjoy the local food.

    Thanks for sharing the fun, free things to do.

  8. I miss Kansas City, Max and I were born and raised there. If you like BBQ food go to Jack Stack or Bryants for fast food style BBQ find the closest Gates. Oh, and if you make it, see if they ship to Texas!

  9. Free is good, in fact it is my favorite four letter word.

    Sorry you are getting work calls, that was the norm for Marti, too. She still gets calls every once in a while, but it has slacked off. Hang in there!
