[livejournal.com profile] iraunink & I ran down to Kansas City, MO, this past weekend to see my father and step-mother. The car claims it was running for 13:07, and that we traveled 911.9 miles. We drove down on Friday, and back on Sunday. [livejournal.com profile] iraunink slept for some of the trip down, so I plugged my iPod into the car stereo after Medford Outlets, and we listened to BBC Beethoven Symphonies the rest of the way - we listened to all of 1-8, and the first movement or so of 9.

While we were there, we made it into Kansas for about three minutes - Dad lives about a mile from the border, we went about six blocks along the street that's the border between Missouri and Kansas. Saturday, he took us to the National WWI Museum.

I love good road trips! How was the WWI museum? Had you been before?

The one time I drove through KC, we stopped at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (nlbm.com). Definitely worth a visit, and very close to the American Jazz Museum too (near 18th & Vine). We only had time for the one, alas.
