Chris' Missouri Trip

Chris enjoyed his trip earlier this month - he was in Kansas City, MO for a week to grade AP Calculus tests (yes, 7 days straight, 8+-hour days..... guess you gotta be the calculus-type to be up for that!) Then he spent 3 days with his dad & Sharon who live a couple hours east of there in Boonville, MO.

Over 300,000 tests came in from all over the US & around the world -
 Just one of the huge grading rooms - over 700 graders flew in from all over, and that was just for Calculus - other AP tests were being graded this week at the same convention center too.  Crazy!

 
And some sights around KC just for fun....
 


 


Then off to his dad's house -


Their cute house in Boonville


They took him to a cool restaurant built in a cave - litterally a "hole in the wall"

The back exit from the cave restaurant

Meeting their granddaughter Ashley (7)
Visiting with Sharon's son & family - they have tons of space for Ashley to run around!

Loving all the GREEN...

 
He had a good trip but we sure missed him back in AZ :).
