Draft to check

Country Club Plaza in bright light

Thu Oct 8 · Soft landing

Crossroads if she is in early. Dinner on the Plaza.

Walk Crossroads on her own. Sweatheory is the easy drop-in. Maya Yoga only if a class on the schedule actually fits.

Meet up. Dinner at 8:00 at True Food on the Plaza.

Check this hold before promising the evening: Women in AI, 4:30–7:00, Regnier Hall, KU Edwards. Joe’s waits until Monday. An 8:00 arrival there is a rushed meal before the 9:00 close.

Sunlit hiking trail

Fri Oct 9 · Parkville, then Panda Fest

A short north morning. The fest is dinner.

Parkville Nature Sanctuary. Short loop, coffee downtown, back by 1:00.

Rest. Weston Bend is 40–45 minutes north and would wipe out the afternoon.

Drive to Legends Field, 1800 Village West Pkwy, Kansas City, KS. Park in the Legends Field lot.

Panda Fest. Buy tickets ahead, about $14. The gate is about $20 plus tax. This is dinner. Home around 8:15.

Neighborhood path in the sun

Sat Oct 10 · Market, then the lawn

River Market morning. Plaza afternoon. Evening off.

City Market, 20 E 5th St. Farmers market runs 8:00–3:00. Leave before the crush.

Nelson-Atkins, 4525 Oak St. Free, timed check-in. Open until 5:00. Galleries, then the sculpture park.

Loose Park, about five minutes away.

One sit-down meal. Blue Bird Bistro on the Westside if you book it.

If Friday’s fest is a wash, Saturday Panda Fest (10:00–10:00) replaces the museum. The Trolley Track ride is the swap if you rent bikes and drop the museum.

Outdoor yoga in sunlight

Sun Oct 11 · One easy day

Brunch, lawn yoga, one park loop.

Brunch at Mildred’s or The Fix.

Yoga in the Park on the Nelson south lawn, if @kcyogainthepark confirms Oct 11. Fall time has been 2:00. Free. Bring a mat. If it is canceled, the lawn walk still works.

One loop at Shawnee Mission Park, about 25 minutes from the Nelson.

Light dinner in Westport if you want it. Gigi’s is the plant-based option. Joe’s is closed Sunday.

Barbecue plate

Mon Oct 12 · The one barbecue

Be at the gas station when it opens. Then the airport.

Joe’s Kansas City, original gas station, 3002 W 47th Ave. Open 11:00–9:00, walk-ins only. Be there at open. The Z-Man is the meal.

Nelson-Atkins is open Monday until 5:00 if the flight is late. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Arthur Bryant’s if the Joe’s line is awful. One stop, not both.

Leave for MCI about two hours before a domestic flight. The airport is about 30 minutes from the Plaza in normal traffic.
