Patrick graduated from junior high! We are so proud of him and can't believe that high school is next! As a graduation present, we decided to take him to a Royals game in Kansas City and ride back home on Amtrak's Southwest Chief #4. And so begins Patrick's excellent adventure to KC.

We picked up our rental car and headed to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Patrick very much enjoyed the museum. It was a great learning experience for all of us.
The American Jazz Museum is in the same building as the baseball museum so we toured it as well. It is small and unfortunately not that impressive.
Now time for some baseball! So we headed to Kauffman Stadium to watch the Royals play against the Mariners. And the Royals won!
We had dinner and spent the night at the Ambassador Hotel, a lovely hotel in downtown Kansas City.
The next morning, we made our way to Union Station for the 6-hour train ride back to Chicago.
