a field trip

Today Chris and I decided to take a field trip. 

We hit the road and headed for the big city

and ended up at Liberty Memorial.    We went into the National WWI Museum.

There is a lot to see there.  It's well laid out and the displays are easy to walk through.   Chris and I are compatible (and very sensible) museum goers.   Spend only as much time as you want, go out to lunch, talk about what you saw, reinforce your learning.  Plan to go back. 

 
One of my favorite parts is just looking out over Union Station and downtown Kansas City.   I love that old Western Auto sign.  

The next time we are going to go up in the tower.  Today we were too hungry.  One of us thought our blood sugar might get low 1/2 way up the stairs and didn't want to have some kind of medical emergency that would cause a traffic jam.

Flat as a pancake...that's how I remember KS when we traveled on Rte. 66 going back to St. Louis, the city of my birth.

I've grown up in the West, lived in CA, AK, MI and now NV. The thing about MI and the entire mid-west that I missed the most was the mountains. I hope you enjoy your treks to the big city, but I'll stick to the west and the mountains.

Haven't been to the WW1 memorial yet, but it's on my list. Have heard only good things about it.
