Last week, there was a great article on CNN.com about Kansas City being a perfect summer vacation destination for the whole family.
The article highlighted Hallmark's own Kaleidoscope, where kids can let their creativity shine through craft projects of all kinds, and the Hallmark Visitors Center, where you can learn the rich history of Hallmark and see how greeting cards are created.
Other highlights in the article include: Fritz's Railroad Restaurant, The College Basketball Experience, Science City, and Schlitterbahn Vacation Village.
You can read the full article here, or just come visit us in KC!
Oh, and because summer vacations always remind me of sending postcards back home to my friends, I found some cool vintage Kansas City postcards to share...Enjoy!
To browse more postcards, visit the Kansas City Public Library's Flickr Photostream.

Green :: Kaleidoscope
Located just across the sidewalk from Hallmark's World Headquarters in the Crown Center area of Kansas City, is a child's creative wonderland, Kaleidoscope.
Since 1969, school-age youngsters have been turning scraps from Hallmark's manufacturing processes into anything their minds desire. Shiny papers, foils, die-cut shapes, cardboard, zigs and zags, ribbons, bows, and lots of other "jazzy junk" become costumes, crowns, piggy banks, masks, and more within this creative experience for children -- no parents allowed!
Other features include family art classes, independent art classes, summer workshops, Earth Day activities, themed programming that changes every few weeks, a Hallmark Illustrators and Writers series, special programs for art educators, and rock-bottom prices on tons of awesome art supplies for art classrooms.
I don't know about you, but it makes me want to be a kid again!
