Once we headed into the greater Kansas City area, we had one thing on our mind:
KANSAS CITY BARBEQUE !!!!
There is only ONE place that we visit and that is Jack Stack, which used to be
called The Smoke Stack many years ago.
Not only do they have fabulous food, but this is where Joe asked me to marry him!
Isaac took this lovely picture of us - not bad, just need to work on centering!
We are really starting to feel the chill in the air by now!
The food was just as wonderful as we remembered.
So good, in fact, that we went back the very next day!
We found a very good RV park in the Johnson County area that was close to much of
what we wanted to see. The colors of the trees were breathtaking, and Isaac and
Joshua loved finding leaf piles wherever we were.
We made a trip to Johnson County Memorial Gardens, where my mom and dad are buried.
Not going to lie.......that was very tough for me.
I miss them so very much.
Ellen, my younger sister who died of chicken pox, is right next to them.
We then drove by the house I grew up in from when we returned from the Philippines
until the summer before eighth grade.
Great memories in that house!
The house next door is still owned by the original owner! Her parents have long since
passed away, but Kathy came back to live in it after their deaths.
I knocked on the door and thankfully she was there!
She updated us on all the current owners, both past and present!
We then drove by the rental house where Joe lived in his early 20's when he worked
for Westinghouse. We didn't know each other then, even though we went
to the same church! Crazy!
We had planned to see more things and visit more people in the Kansas City area, but the
weather in Nebraska was deteriorating and we had to get up there FAST!!
