Day 16

We were so happy to have breakfast with John's sister and her family this morning and hang out with them one last time.  Sean made us a HUGE breakfast before we took off for Dodge City.  Of course since we were in Kansas, we had to make a detour to see the Oz Museum when we saw signs on the highway. I loved it!  I've always loved Wizard of Oz and the Museum had lots of really neat memorabilia.  We arrived in Dodge City and went to the Harley-Davidson store for John to get a shirt (I think number 5).  I also got a shirt, because #1 it was red (my favorite color), and #2 it said "Get the Hell of of Dodge."  Love that saying and I say it all the time, so I had to get a Harley shirt.  After we checked into our hotel, we went to historic Boot Hill and walked around some original buildings there and the cemetery, and watched the Boot Hill gun fight.  Dodge City is a little disappointing.  Not as great as we thought, but there is a casino right next to the hotel, so I think we're going to go check it out tonight!

I loved this!  The death certificate

I am the all-powerful Oz!
