I am heading out there on Monday as that is where my University commencement is at. We will be vacationing there for a week.
Fountains and steak and baseball. Don't have much hands-on experience with that side of the state, sorry.
I am here now in KC. It took 13 hours to drive the 850 miles. Hotel is nice but it is not cheap. Found the closest grocery store using the GPS and while checking out I realized that we were in Kansas and not MO. I didn't realize that the two were actually the same city. Going to go exploring tomorrow
