We enjoyed our visit to a museum celebrating the life and achievements of astronaut Neil Armstrong…read moreand the times of the "space race" culminating in the Apollo moon missions. This is a very Ohio-centric experience with mentions of the many other Ohioans who have also been in outer space. The museum is thoughtfully laid out, includes a few interactive exhibits, has a big parking lot including a covered picnic area, and is fully handicap accessible. Many fascinating artifacts such as the spacecraft tool kit, space foodstuffs, and even, uh, an article used by the astronauts to go to the bathroom. Also a lovely collection of artwork. And of course, the moon rock. The 30-minute documentary is a must. It plays continuously in a little theatre, so if you come in half way through just stay put and wait for the replay. It is very moving in that it captures the unity of the country in following the amazing mission to the moon as President Kennedy had determined it would happen before the decade was out. If you have any memory of the moon landings you will get a little teary-eyed. The walkway to enter the little theatre gives you the impression you're floating in space surrounded by millions of stars! They also have recordings of the crew of Apollo 8 (commanded by Jim Lovell of Ohio) broadcasting the Bible reading "in the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth..." They were the first human beings to see the earth from that vantage point. This was also thrilling to hear. We took our time to read the various information cards by each exhibit so out visit took about 90 minutes. I wish there was a bit more to see and/or that the film was longer. I feel the admission is a bit on the high side. But nonetheless I'm glad we went. Within a mile of the museum are some local photo ops: a statue of a friendly waving Neil Armstrong, and a giant space helmet reproduction with imprint of the moon footprint and other things. Space-related stuff all over this town. Fun!

In reference to other negative reviews due to covid cancellations, every family was given the choice to obtain trip insurance. If they lost money for a canceled trip, they obviously refused to buy insurance, a choice they made at their own peril. Overall, K&K Tours is the gold standard for DC trips.

"Where it All Began…read more. In 1893 Wing and Mahurin began construction on Robert and Clara's Romanesque styled mansion. Same architect as the University of Saint Francis' Bass Mansion and The History Center both in Fort Wayne. Robert served as a 2 time state senator, assistant U.S. Commissioner for Indiana, huge investor in natural gas, (the reason Fort Wayne & even Chicago got natural gas when they did) and was a prominent lawyer. Clara helped form the first classes at the Fort Wayne Art School and was the co-founder of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. The couple was originally from the Muncie area but moved up here for business purposes. They were a very prominent couple during their years here in Fort Wayne. Not only did Clara leave her forever footsteps at the Art Museum, Robert's law firm is still going strong known as the Barrett-McNagny law firm serving the local area still today. They only had one child Bessie but unfortunately due to illness died at 11 months old. After Robert's death in 1901 the home was sold to William K. Noble who ran a lumber company that operated in 3 states. His family of 3 lived there for 22 years and sold the building for $50,000 to The Klaehn Funeral home. In 1935 the west side addition was added due to high demand. At this time funerals were no longer held in the residents home as they were done in the 1800s. Today there are over 14,000 square feet in this absolutely breathtaking mansion. No detail has gone unnoticed. It remained a funeral home for over 93 years. Until they left the building in 2018 and the Sturm's bought the building in 2020 to preserve its beauty. We want to preserve our precious history first and foremost. History is the reason why we are all here today! We are SOOO PASSIONATE about preserving and sharing this place with the world!" My friend Jesse from JMH Fotografy https://www.facebook.com/jmhfotografy?mibextid=2JQ9oc https://instagram.com/jmhfotografy?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== was one of the invitees to do a Spooky Photo Shoot. Every room ( and there are lots of them ) have original wood work, beautiful pocket doors. Chandeliers, staircase is beautiful, stained glass, big open spaces. Since this was a funeral home for nearly 100 years there are bits and pieces of that history still here too. The building had a great vibe inside and out. They are raising money for more renovations so book an event. And call Jesse for photos. I was his assistant for the day. We had such a great time.

FarmGrounds is relatively new coffee trailer in the area…read more Most times I've found it set up near the hospitals or walk-in clinics. That kind of makes sense and jokes about clinic or hospital coffee aside, FarmGrounds does appear to do a good business in the early morning. While they do have traditional coffee drinks, they also have non-coffee drinks and surprisingly keeps up with the trends in flavors no matter how unusual. This is a cute trailer that doesn't look ordinary. There are windows on both sides, and a bay window in the front. Seriously, a bay window that perfectly displays the bottles of flavors with all their colors. FG has specials, that change from month to month, and it will take a long time to read the menu on their window if you don't already know what you want. The coffee? Excellent. The service? Spotty. While they've always been quick, the "friendly" isn't always there. I get it, though. Early morning after a late night. Who needs work?

There is absolutely no way, you could get as nice a hotel, a reservation at hofbräuhaus the night before, and a reservation at a Traditional Tent, trying to book this trip on your own.

The hotel we stay in is modern, clean, and a great location to the fair grounds. Our Tour Guide Michael is the best part of this tour, he is so helpful and relaxed. He is there to make sure we have fun while staying safe in a foreign city.

I am very familiar with this company after having taken many tours over the last 20 years. I can…read moretell you that in the last 3-4 years things have changed. The shopping tours to the Windy City have went down hill. It used to be a great time. Now, it is still fun, just not a wow. The changes include: 1. They used to coordinate and designate busses for pick up in different areas, so when you went to a pickup stop you could get on the same bus as a friend that was getting on at another town along the way. Now, if you don't get on at the same stop, you can't make the trip together and must meet up after your arrival. I drive 30 miles to ride with my friend instead of being picked up in my hometown, and then have to drive 30 miles to get home after the bus drop off. 2. They used to have 2 drop off points. One at Marshall Fields (now Macys) on Randolph, and the other at Water Tower Place. Pick up was always at Water Tower Place. This made it so you could choose to walk one way down the Magnificent Mile, instead of the now down and back. 3. Earlier return times-used to leave Chicago at 7pm, Now we leave at 4:30. Not enough time to walk the Magnificent Mile down and back, and still have time for lunch. 4. Used to be served juice, water, and donuts on the trip up and no restroom stop on the way there--used restroom on the bus. I think most people like stopping on the way there. I would prefer to skip it. They now take 1 bathroom stop on the way up and 1 food stop on the way back. 5. The stop on the way up was not a toll plaza stop, so no large restroom, just 1 stall for 60 women--the quick bathroom stop took 30 minutes or more. 6. The stop on the way back was at Chesterton where many fast food places are within walking distance. I think I preferred the toll plaza stops with all eateries in the same location, and no long lines at the restrooms. 7. The cost has risen over the years and is almost to the point where it would be cheaper to drive ourselves to Chicago. 8. Getting to the busses--they are all getting very old, and need to be replaced. 9. This trip I was comfortable on the way there. On the way home we started with the heat on--it was 30 degrees out--and felt good after a day of walking on icy cement. Then someone must have complained they were too hot. I felt cold air running down the right side of the bus near the window. I thought someone had opened a window, although I don't think the windows are the kind that open. I put my coat back on. I tolerated the cold, even though I think the hot sweaty women should bring their own personal fans--not everyone is having hot flashes. After a few minutes my friend said her eyes were burning. I told her it was likely due to the exhaust smell from the cold air vent they turned on. We suffered the exhaust smell and the cold air for 45 minutes or so, then it stopped 30 minutes before we arrived back. Good thing, because it was starting to make me nauseous. 10. Remember when you take a bus trip that you have to suffer the other passengers and the tour guide. Our recent tour guide Pam, was pretty good, although she made changes to the itinerary when we arrived in Chicago late from the extended restroom stop. She tried to allow us an extra 30 min and the majority voted yes, while 2-3 voted no. We were told to arrive back at 3:45 for a 4 pm departure. My friend and I had trouble getting our check at a restaurant and were not at the bus at 3:45. Pam called my friend at 3:58 and asked where we were. We replied we were paying the bill and only 2 blocks away--a 5 minute walk. My friend was upset over the conversation, due to the tone Pam used with her--trying to make her feel guilty for holding up 3 busses of passengers all hellbent on leaving exactly at 4 pm. We returned as quickly as possible. The passenger in the 2nd seat--one who voted no--was very rude and commenting loudly. We could not foresee a missing waitress. Then, to appease the no vote people, instead of an eating stop, we had to get our food to go. I only had time to use the long line restroom, not time for any drink purchase, since I did not want to be the last person on the bus, lest I get a lashing from Pam. Some are very obnoxious, like the lady sitting in the 2nd seat, who complained loudly when the return time was a little later than advertised. She appeared to be alone, but maybe she was friends with the tour guide, Pam. There was some, not sure which ones, who were not flexible at all and the whole bus kowtowed to their needs. One has to keep in mind that travel times can vary due to weather and traffic, also injury, accidents, etc. If you have a hard and fast "must be home time" don't take a bus trip. My friend and I accepted the blame for Pam. As our public gets ruder, the trips have become unbearable, but for the brave they are still tolerable if one takes a chill pill. I am out of pills. This is a review of December 3, 2019 bus trip.
