Kansas City: The City of Fountains.

On the road to Kansas City we saw a huge shop called Bass Pro Shops and felt the urge to stop and check it out. The place was filled with taxidermy, fish tanks filled with Salmon and other random fish, and equipment galore. Angie picked up a sticker and water bottle just for fun.

Upon entering Kansas City, we ate at Arthur Bryants. It was the very first BBQ place created in Kansas City. Angie got a BBQ chicken sandwich with potato salad and Matthew got a pulled pork sandwich with fries and a lemonade.
Driving into the city we walked around a neighborhood called 39th St. West, a "bohemian area" that is comparable to the Short North of Columbus Ohio. We hung out there but the heat was a huge hindrance. The thermometer in the car was at 100°F. After walking around for as much as we could, we parked the car in a neighborhood and waited for it to cool down.
We had an early meal at Pier Pont's where Angie had a Caesar Salad and a yummy alcoholic Italian Soda and Matthew went with the beef Carpaccio with a glass of wine.

Our late dinner was at Hereford House where we split a Kansas City Strip and ended the night completely (borderline disgustingly) full.
Next up is an 8hr or so drive to Denver, Colorado. Stay tuned.
