HELP with trip to MSQC today

[grandma of 6]

My husband had told me we could stop at the store on our way to KC today. Now he's wanting to back out because he doesn't think there will be anything for him to do while I'm in the stores for a couple hours. Is there anything worthwhile for men to do there? Is there a bar where he could watch tv?

Tell him to accompany you into the stores, that way he can hold all the stuff you are getting ready to purchase!
I am sure there should be a park or something that he might want to sit in, and enjoy the sites.

We stopped there on a trip home from the West and my DH went and got the truck washed. I think there is lots more there now, I know there are more shops. My DH was somewhat fascinated with the long arm machine, too. He was a machinist so it drew him in.

He could get a burger at J's Burger Dive and I think there is a bar between the Seasonal Shop and the J.C. Penney shop. If he sits outside, there are sure to be some local guys to jaw with! He could tour the J.C. penney museum, the quilting center and the warehouse. I think they are moving the warehouse this weekend, he could supervise or lend a hand.

Can he bring a book? My husband would take a walk & maybe a nap in the car ....

Tell him I said to not be such a stick in the mud and ruin your fun. The Doan's have remade that town...I'm sure there is lots for him to do while there. If all else fails, take a nap under a shaddy tree...what better way to while away a few hours. Have fun...wish I was closer, I'd drive you! xox

My husband always takes a book when I go to fabric stores.

My husband always get in conversation with the ladies in the store, telling him how wonderful he is that he is in there with me. HAH, I just tell him to find a chair and sit down until I am finished, or help me look for stuff. He really does enjoy going with me anyway. He helps me find stuff that I could miss, just so much stuff to look at.

Just an update - the bar is now closed. I am not 100% sure, but think M* bought them out. It is under renovation.

I heard Jenny tell someone one time that she thought a man cave under the retreat center would be a great idea with TVs, a pool table, something like that . . . if the weather was good a game of golf is always possible at a very discounted rate and very nearby.

That would be brilliant!
