Would you consider taking your vacation at or close to home?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 27, 2008
“Sure, because I’ve lived here for several years and have never been able to really explore everything that Kansas or Missouri has to offer. And now that I have kids, I feel like it’s really important to introduce them to that.”
“Yeah. I can’t afford gas. I work to be broke. So staying home and saving some money would be great.”
“Yeah. To me, there is a difference between vacationing and traveling. Vacationing is more of a state of mind and escaping the stresses of everyday life, which can be done anywhere.”
“Oh yeah, because I can’t afford to go any farther with gas prices the way they are.”

We spent a week-end in KCMO and loved every second of it. Our daughter was okay wtth taking a friend and they had a wonderful time. The toy museum,Science City,a Friends of the Zoo happening,getting together with big sister ,staying in a motel with swimming and choosing gifts for other friends seemed like a pleasurable experience. In the end there was plenty of gas left over...did not use even one quarter of a tank. Also ate good food..... yumo!
