Travel Ideas- Part 1

I have said that one of the things you might find on this blog is talk about travel but I havn't been very good about putting anything down. So here is the first:

After years of hauling kids (in planes and cars) and visiting in-laws in Missouri I can say:

Take a trip to Kansas City, Mo. and visit the Liberty Memorial Museum. Give yourself a few hours because you'll want to spend some time there. It was truly a great trip. The kids (7 and 11) liked it too. Taking them to Fritz's Railroad Restaurant around the corner at Crown Center before hand doesn't hurt.

I've always liked the zoo as well.

And if you have ALOT of time, and a railroad loving brood, you can ride Amtrack from Independence (Truman's home) to St Louis. But you need to have alot of time as Amtrack yields to ALL other trains including freight.

And don't forget to try the BBQ. It ain't Texas but it's pretty darn good. Gates is a good place to start but I hear tell there are others.:-)
