Day 14

I can't believe we've been on our road trip for 2 weeks now!  We arrived in Missouri and went to St. Louis to see the Gateway Arch.  John talked me into going to the top, but it was an easy ride up, and the view at the top was amazing!  After the Arch, we wanted to have famous St. Louis ribs for lunch.  John had found what was supposed to be the best ribs in St. Louis, but when we found it, it looked a little scary.  Very small in a not-so-great neighborhood.  We decided to chance it, and boy are we glad we did!  They were the best ribs!!  And the young man, John, who worked there, was so friendly and came to visit with us to make sure we loved everything.  After a little more drive, we arrived near Kansas City, MO.  We met up with John's dad, Jerry, and his sister, Sella, her husband, Sean, and his parents and sister for dinner at Cracker Barrel.  It was such a fun night hanging out with everyone and laughing over stories.  John's sister is so much fun!  Tomorrow we'll be hanging out with everyone for the day, so we get a little more time.

Arrived in Missouri today!

Choices, choices!  John at the fireworks store.
