Kansas City

Originally we planned just 2 days in Kansas City.  But when LW's brother was able to get tickets for he and LW to see the Chiefs/Packers on Thursday night, we extended our stay.  Good thing we did. There is so much to see and do in KC.  Here are the highlights.

Royals vs Yankees game

Harry S Truman Presidential Library, Museum and Home in Independence, Mo.

 We had ice cream at the Clinton Soda Fountain where Truman used to work.  I had Harry's Favorite-chocolate ice cream with butterscotch.

This is the outside of the Kansas City Public Library.

 We drove to Topeka to see the Brown vs Board of Education Historical Site.

Then we drove on to Abilene, Kansas to visit the Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum and boyhood home.

Today while LW and his brother played golf, I visited the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art and the Donald J Hall Sculpture Park. The world's largest shuttlecocks are on the grounds.

Then I went to the Hallmark Cards visitor center and the Crayola Store.

Tonight the boys are enjoying the preseason football game and I am enjoying some alone time in the hotel.  Tomorrow we are off for Council Bluffs.  We will stay there for about 18 days, visiting LW's family, watching the Huskers and we will get to see Lauren since she will fly in to go to the season opener of the Huskers with her dad ( a long standing tradition).
