What an absolutely awesome day! Fritz's AND Plaza AND Nelson? And WheatFields?

This was mighty ambitious. And you were two blocks away. If you'd called, I would have made you scones for the road.

And they would have been free.

I love those shuttlecocks! If I lived near there I would be forced to get an “I love cocks” bumper sticker.

I’ll have to tell my children about Fritz’s. Ideas which include the word free are especially good for them. I’ll pass them on – thanks! (I will probably advise them to stay away from Othello after your description!!)

I think my kids would love Fritz’s, except we are not in that part of the country. I do love the shuttlecocks on the lawn – awesome!

This post reminds me of all of my family vacations when I was growing up with four siblings. My parents, teachers, always took us to educational and FREE things, too. Only, we had lunch from a cooler in the back of our stationwagon instead of eating at a cool restaurant. When my three boys are older, I look forward to these types of trips. nancy in alaska

I love the pictures of you and The Country Doctor.

I also love that Jack found and was delighted with the stick.

Katie always ends up with some piece of nature to fiddle with.

Claes and Coosje stopped up here in Lincoln and left a big metal notebook with a page sort of torn out. Lots of people thought it was a bit weird. It is just south of UNL so hey even though we are living in the age of the lap top and cell phone – folks need to get in touch with actually writing on paper!

It is hard to read the words on the paper tho…

I really enjoy reading your blog, you are listed as one of my favorites–I was recently in Kansas City and didn’t see any of those things–I guess we can blame the tornado warning that made us Californians want to hover inside. Heidi, dunhavenplace

That little truck delivery at the hamburger joint was great. And Union Station’s everywhere seem to be the most beautiful pieces of architecture. And it does make me also want to have lived and traveled at that era. I like your happy faces the best.

What a wonderful almost free vacation! I have a niece in KC – I’ll have to ask for Fritz’s next time I go see her. :) Blessings, marlene

I lived in KC for 12 yrs + 4 in Atchison. All my nieces and nephews that came to visit had to go to Fritz’s. Lots of fun! My daughter wants to go back to KC just for that!
Thanks for the tour, it makes me miss KC.

That looked like it was a very busy weekend. At least I hope this was spread out over a weekend and not crammed into one day!!!

I love Fritz's. I've added it to my Top 1,000 Places to Eat Before I Die.

FREE almost always = fun in my vacation book.

Looks as though you had a nice family day.

You make me laugh! There definitely would not be enough free stuff in that day to make my hubby happy. He is notoriously frugal…
