.: Crowne Plaza…

We then made our way to the Crown Plaza which is where the Hallmark headquarters is. It is a shopping center where I discovered the most colourful store EVER - the Crayola shop! I acted like a kid and tested colours and took pictures, and probably embarrassed my boyfriend. Oops…

I don't know that I get embarrassed anymore, I have pretty much accepted that my girlfriend is a five year old at heart... that being said it's okay because on my best days I behave like a 6 year old. (always got to be better huh? :)

So colourful!

Once we got bored of wax crayon colours we headed through the rest of the center. We discovered a political rally, which we avoided, and later ended on the roof top. Which I am thoughtfully convinced we were not supposed be on, but it afforded us to take a picture of the city and the setting sun.

Sometimes getting lost is a good thing, I have found it is amazing what you can find when you just roam around a city...

Pretty gorgeous view

After finding our way back into the center (past the political rally) we headed towards the fountains. Kansas city is known as the city of fountains, so seeing some of these is a must.

I think we would have seen some significantly more impressive fountains if it were closer to summer time, given it is still a little too early to be running all the fountains a lot of them didn't have water in them... hopefully we can pass through again during summer time :)

By Day...

And by night...

We also saw a building which looked like the Sydney Opera house, but was a building for the performing arts. It was definitely worth the extra drive around the block we did just so I could take a picture of it.
