Just want to second midwestkc's comments on the Plaza. It is a great place for shopping, dining, just strolling around, etc. Also, next month is one of the nicest times of the year in the midwest......good weather and fall colors.

If the wives are interested in museums, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is not too far from the Plaza and quite good. Definitely worth a visit for folks who like museums.
