8AM

Off to Kansas! Originally we were going to visit the Oz museum today but due to how early it closes we will be going tomorrow instead.

1PM

8:22PM

We had a second smoothie at another Dairy Queen (it is stupid crazy hot today). We stopped by University of Kansas and my dad took some photos. Now we are at Red Pepper Chinese food for dinner.

Dad's Postscript

Hot! Hot! Hot! (and Lola has no AC)

Lunchtime! We are now sitting in Oscar's Diner after passing through St. Louis around 10AM (where we saw the arch! WESTWARD HO!) as well as the Busch Stadium. The weather was hot and muggy so we had our first Orange Julius smoothie of the day.

Headed out on route 50 west until we used the interstate to bypass St Louis (great view of the Arch). Then jumped back on route 50, crossing Missouri on a route that took us through Jefferson City. Nice rolling terrain, 50 had been twinned most of the way, but it gave you a "classic" look at the "Show Me" state.

Crossed on over into Kansas, and stopped in Lawrence. Beautiful trees throughout the residential sections we drove through - made a huge difference in the heat. Stayed right next to the University of Kansas. Went down and took a few 360 pics at Allen Fieldhouse (University's basketball venue).
