Today was another full day in terms of what we did, what we saw, and ground we covered.
As predicted, we slept in later than we have all trip but it was so worth it. For lunch, Jimmy took us to Oklahoma Joe's BBQ. It is arguably the best BBQ joint in Kansas City (many many awards on the walls), and as far as I'm concerned it is the best. Man oh man, the jumbo pulled pork sandwich I had was worth fighting over. I want to thank Mr. Jimmy for the awesome hospitality he showed us, and I couldn't be more glad that we made it a point to stop by for a day. He and his wife are both lawyers in a big Kansas City firm, and he gave me a ton of great advice for law school and beyond. I really appreciated it.
After we ate, we stopped by to see Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium (where the Royals play).
Then we started towards St. Louis, but stopped in Columbia to visit the University of Missouri. It wasn't terribly impressive, but that was probably because a lot of the campus was under construction.
After that we took off towards St. Louis. Traffic was pretty bad because the Cardinals were playing, but we finally got parked and walked over to see the Arch. One word - big. Apparently you can go up to the top and look out of it, but we got there too late. Even so, it was still a pretty awesome site.
Presently, we're sitting in what will be our last Motel 6 of the trip. So bittersweet! Haha. Accommodations in these Motel 6s haven't always been the best, but they've been cheap and anything is better than that night in Santa Rosa.
Tomorrow, we're going to get up early and head south until we arrive back where we began two weeks ago.
See y'all then.
