"Toto" and I made it to Kansas. It was a wonderful trip. We stopped and visited cousin Roseann in Cincinnati, and Ginger too (the puppy). Ginger wasn't sure about Dante, and he wasn't sure what it meant to be in a fenced in yard (no, you don't need a leash, go run and be happy). Rosie and I enjoyed a lovely light meal and then went downtown to visit an older hotel and take photos.
The next morning Mr. Dante was right and ready to hit the dusty trail once more...
He was very excited to head west. Alert for most of the cities, especially around the tricky arteries of St. Louis
Exhausted from the nerve wracking driving, not to mention the HEAT, it was easy to just crash!
We did make it to Stacy and Aaron's about 7:30 p.m. Which is pretty good, we'd left at 8:30 a.m.! Enjoyed the fun and activities of Kansas City's first Friday night and ended up at an Irish pub for a wonderful meal of fish and chips (no doubt with that American twist). The next day we visited Union Station
and the Titanic Exhibit. Each visitor received a boarding pass with the name of a passenger and followed the journey to the end. My passenger was Mrs. Isidor Straus (Rosalie Ida Blun) from New York, NY. The Straus's owned Macy's Department Store in New York City. Both Mr. and Mrs. Straus lost their lives, Mrs. Straus choosing to remain with her husband on board.
Overall, it was a wonderful time and it was a great adventure. I look forward to seeing Kansas again soon!
