We left Omaha and headed to Kansas City...
We got a lot of rain the first couple weeks of our road trip and I was loving it!
One of the first stops we made once we got into Kansas City was head to the little town of Liberty, where Liberty Jail is located.
This tiny jail is such hallowed ground. Some of the most poignant passages of scripture from the Doctrine and Covenants were received here. It was pretty amazing to look at the ground in the jail and think that Joseph Smith actually stood right on those same stones.
The next day we headed over to the Kansas side of KC to try what we heard was some of the best BBQ ever. Joe's Kansas city BBQ is popular and has the lines to prove it. We waited for about an hour to get to the counter, but man, it was worth it! This food DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
The meat from these suckers literally slides right off the bone. I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to eat any other BBQ and be satisfied again. Gage took a bite and said, "I can die now'.
Next, we visited the first of many amazing art museums. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.
I have a seriously hard time keeping my eyes open in photos when it's bright outside. It's bad. I try so hard, but the muscles in my face just reflexively do ridiculous things.
That evening, after getting henna tattoos and then regretting doing so, I logged into Instagram and noticed that Mates of State was playing in Kansas City that night. Happy coincidence...so we went to their show.
We ran into a friendly face at the Independence Visitors Center!
For the 4th of July, we did some shopping at Country Club Plaza in KC, then enjoyed another BBQ joint for dinner.
In Gage's words, he ate BBQ and wore a flag shirt, just like the Founding Fathers intended. I love this hottie.
This is the Kansas City, MO Temple. It was a Sunday, so we weren't able to do a session, but we still walked around the windy grounds for a minute before heading out. These photos are yet another example of my inability to smile when it's sunny.
