Well, we’re in Kansas City. It wouldn’t be true to say this trip was spur-of-the-moment, but it was close. (We’re at a Hampton Inn for which I paid too much money because I was unwilling to stop at an EconoLodge that was 15 minutes farther from the city.) Today we’re going to head downtown to see a museum and maybe do some shopping, and tonight we’ll be heading over to a Royals game.

The drive down 35 was kind of uneventful. Well, uneventful except for the trailer tread that got kicked up from another car and flew under mine, scraping up and partially detaching the front air dam. I guess there will have to be a call to Progessive about that. Crap.

This is Lisa’s first time to Missouri. From previous experience with it, I probably should have started her on the other side of the state, but we’ll see how things go. Maybe Kansas City won’t turn out to be as skanky as I remembered it to be.

More later.
