JULY 8: KANSAS CITY to ST. LOUIS MO

Miles: 314

Tonight we arrived in St. Louis after spending the day crossing Missouri. We got off to a slow start because I had to spend a couple hours taking our rental car for maintenance. (Alamo is just sad, avoid them at all costs.) We spent the late morning and afternoon touring Kansas City. We made stops to see the National World War I Museum, Crown Center, Nelson-Atkins Art Museum outdoor sculpture park and Loose Park gardens. We topped the day off by eating at one of the best known BBQ restaurants, Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ.

After lunch we started our drive across the state after a quick visit to Arrowhead and Kaufman (Royal's) Stadiums. We stopped in Columbia to see the University of Missouri. We dipped down to Jefferson City to see the Missouri State Capitol and got some ice cream.

We arrived at our hotel in St. Charles, just outside St. Louis, just in time to check-in and put the kids to bed. Tomorrow we will investigate St. Louis.
