Winter

We took an Amtrak train from KC to St. Louis, where we stayed & walked around downtown, saw a St. Louis Blues game, and viewed the Body Worlds 3 exhibit that was finishing that weekend.

Spring

KU won the men's basketball championship! We went to Lawrence for the celebration parade where Jeanel and brother Jerry got to high five many of the players!

We took our yearly trip to Las Vegas with friends Patty & Jerry where we saw Spamalot.

Gary is now doing video production for Right Between The Ears.

Jeanel Gressel, Gary Gressel We're in the home stretch for 2008! We spent many summer nights watching the Kansas City T-Bones. The T-bones hosted a Kansas City A's reunion and Jeanel got authographs from everyone! For travels, went to Detroit for the wedding of Abbey & David Viane, held at Meadow Brook Hall. While there we visited the The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village and Ann Arbor. Jeanel made a quick visit to Chicago before we spent the week in Nuevo Vallarta. Oh, and there was the surprise birthday party for Gary's 40th birthday!



For the fifth year we watched with our friends the Kansas City T-Bones play baseball. The year was filled with injuries and players moving up to affiliated baseball, but everything came together as the season ended. We made the final playoff spot, and then promptly went 6-1 in the playoffs, finishing with the team's first championship in the Northern League. Jeanel would have been able to watch the games played in Gary, Indiana, but four straight days of rain forced her to not see a single pitch. We listened to the games on the radio and met the team bus when it arrived back victorious!


Henry Ford Museum
This is one of those museums you center a trip around. If you are anywhere near Detroit, Michigan, plan at least a full day around visiting this complex--possibly two. The museum itself is huge. Of course, the Automobile in American Life exhibit is 1/3rd of this museum, but other must see items include Kennedy's limo, the bus Rosa Parks sat in, the Dymaxion house (built in Kansas!), and Lincoln's chair. Next door is Greenfield village which is a 90+ acre complex containing historic homes, sites, and artifacts from Ford, Eddison, Firestone, and the Wright brothers. We happened to be there when they had a car show featuring over 1,000 1920's-1940's cars--we literally saw traffic jams!!

Jeanel arranged a surprise party to celebrate Gary's 40th birthday. The evening was filled with volleyball, poker, croquet, friends, family, and even a visit from a nurse!
