so this
is Kansas
from Denver to the state line
(which looks exactly like this),
Kansas was another 6 hours
of this scenery until we hit
Kansas City.
beautiful in it's own right
but were we bored.
we had our sites set on this!
in it's original location
attached to a working gas station,
we arrived 30 minutes into their
morning opening
and we still waited 45 minutes in a line
that snaked through the building
and along the entire front.
and while good.......
it's not Memphis.
sliced brisket and meaty pork ribs,
tasty beans and potato salad too!
in case you didn't feel like waiting
for BBQ
directly across the street
is this
smart!
Missouri here we come!
and after driving across Illinois....
we sped right through here
no stopping allowed!
Easter dinner
in Dayton!
with Danielle and the birthday boy,
Uncle John
and family
(thank you!)
Baltimore for crabs!
Washington, DC
where a special knock on a secret door
and Tenni's keen ability to find the hot-spots
and make a reservation (for drinks?!)
will get you a great cocktail!
and finally,
HOME!
he was done.
it only took
five days for the warm weather
catch up with us
but it's like we never left.
