Did you know you can take an elevator to the top of Liberty Memorial? The 360-degree view at the top is incredible!

The Liberty Memorial is easily the most recognizable landmark in Kansas City. It’s part of the National World War I museum, the only American museum solely dedicated to the war. It’s really cheap to go (around $10-$12) and it’s filled with lots of interesting stuff. Most people say you need about 2-3 hours to take it all in at a relaxed pace. If you just want to go up on the tower, it’s really cheap ($4) and only takes a couple minutes. They’re open Tuesday – Sunday, 10AM – 5PM (check the website for all the details).

NOTE: I actually shot this video blog last year, but I just discovered the footage on a camera recently! I didn’t like the clips when I first shot this last year. After stumbling upon it again- when I was clearing HD space, I decided to do a quick edit and post the video. I’m proud of KC and I love this town! So I figured I wanted to pass on the good word of another fun thing you can do here in KC.

Cirque du Soleil “Alegria” was in town this weekend, and they asked me to come check things out backstage. It was an amazing experience. You’ll get to meet Tyler Block, Michael Smith and Sheryl in this video blog. One part of the vblog I didn’t include (because his response was too long) was the cast members are primarily athletes that are former gymnasts. Some were even Olympians. They go through over 9 months of training before they can perform in a show.

Enjoy the video blog! I also posted a few pictures on my flickr account here, here, and here.
