After leaving the mountains, we had a very long drive and arrived at Kathleen and Steve’s house in Kansas City after dinner. My parents were already there! We sat on the porch that night catching up all the while missing my oldest sister Kristin and her family. The next morning, Matt, Samantha, Eli, and my parents headed to the World War 1 museum. Matt and Eli had visited last year but wanted to go back to go experience the virtual reality program that put you on the western front in the trenches. The experience was realistic, eye opening, and haunting. Overall, the museum was informative and gave them the opportunity to understand that time period and the realities of war. That night, we were spoiled by Steve who smoked two racks of ribs for us all to enjoy!
The following day, we ran some needed errands including groceries and had the truck serviced. We also spent time with Grandma and Papa playing cards and talking. That evening, we headed to Steve’s parents’ house for tacos. They were fabulous hosts, and everyone enjoyed the tacos. Our time together was short but I’m so glad we were able to spend a few more days with my family!
