A day in Kansas City

Because of the flooding of the Missouri that closed I-29, we had to take a rather indirect way to Kansas City, but it didn’t turn out to be much longer than taking the I-29 all the way, apparently.

We ate at Jack Stack Barbecue which was very good. We had beef ribs, lamb ribs, crown ribs. All were moist, had a good bite, not all stringy and falling apart.

At night had a walk around Country Club Plaza. 15-blocks of shopping. Nice to walk around. Admired some of the old buildings there. But as it was late, most of the shops were already closed.

Then called it a day. Said goodbye to my nephew and sister, and headed toward Colorado Springs.

  1. I forgot to mention that the homemade baked beans and coleslaw were excellent too. Just to let you know how good the meat was – I didn’t even touch the sauce.
