here she is!! the first stop on any trip must be the bank for money and the coffee shop. And that is just what we did! At this point she didnt have a clue as to where we were going! However it doesnt take much figuring out when you turn south on 35 and you know its going to be a 6 hour ride. She figured it out . Kansas City here we come. It is important to celebrate life and that is exactly what we were doing. A Birthday was coming up and this was the best way to celebrate it.. The funniest part was I didn't even have a map with!.. We got to the middle of Iowa and I really wanted to know how much farther it was... We stopped at an Iowa information center and was very glad they also had a Missouri map!!!
