| The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art |
On Saturday, we took a trip to Kansas City to spend the day. We stopped at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which I hadn't visited since grade school. We had a wonderful time exploring the exhibits and taking in the sights. We barely scratched the surface in the couple of hours we spent there, and we didn't even make it to the second floor! One of my favorite pieces we saw was Chance Meeting, a sculpture depicting three individuals who unexpectedly encounter each other on the city street.
The view from the steps of the museum facing the lawn is stunning. No longer covered in snow, the lawn now showcases the famous Shuttlecocks sculptures. I've driven past the museum countless times, so it was refreshing to see the view from a different perspective. Since it wasn't a cold day on Saturday, we were able to step outside and cool down after walking around indoors.
Following our cultural immersion at the museum, we had reservations at The Campground at 5:15 PM. We had dined at The Campground almost a year ago by chance. We were in the Stockyards District last year and stumbled upon The Campground, where we enjoyed a drink. We knew we wanted to return for a meal, and Saturday was the perfect opportunity. The drinks are fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers and main courses. The Brussels sprouts were exceptional! For my main course, I had the Arctic Char, which was also delicious. I also sampled the Double Smashburger, which was equally impressive.

| Quivering Forest Drink |
One of the drinks I had was the Quivering Forest, a delightful concoction of Black Currant Mezcal, Smoked Paprika, Campari, and Lime. I highly recommend it. The Campground regularly updates its menu, and we unfortunately missed out on a pork dinner they had recently featured on their FaceBook page. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the drinks, appetizers, and main course.
It was a fun day of cultural enrichment and culinary exploration in Kansas City.
