Road Trip!

“From there to here, from here to there, [fun] things are everywhere!” ― Dr. Seuss
In this case, Mr. Brown Sign took some boys from home base to Colorado, and found the "fun" things between here and there...


THE arch...


A very funny bathroom heater!...


Yummy frozen custard from Ted Drewes, a must stop in St. Louis!...


Outlaws... Jessie James and his riding partner, William Quantrill, jailed here at the Jackson County Marshall's jail...


History...Harry Truman's first job at the Clinton Drugstore...




Independence has a wonderful downtown square!




The Santa Fe and Oregon Trails converge in downtown Independence, Missouri!


An unusual building in Liberty, a temple belonging to The Church of Christ.




The Harry S. Truman library...



Site of the first daylight bank hold up in the United States, attributed to Jessie James...



Renovations to Topeka's capitol...


(Porta potties every where!)


A giant indian...


Some MASSIVE front doors!


A job that has to be boring - by law, the elevator has to be manned...


The State Supreme Court...


Heartland vistas...


Barbeque from the famous Hickory Hut...a must stop and eat in Salina, Kansas!




Local economy generators...


A sunny 18-wheeler!


A skyful of mini dust devils...


Actually amber waves of grain!

What a fun road trip! And, give major props to Mr. Brown Sign for actually taking pictures on the trip. My dear hubby would never even think to do that!
