Missouri

I don’t know much about Missouri, but as it’s the home of the first ice-cream cone, hot dog, and iced tea it’s all right with me. T. and I had a good time hanging around eating KC beef with my mom (well, my mom ate fish – she’s a vegetarian), my stepdad, and my sister. We also took at quick drive down to Bartlesville, OK, which, according to the Lonely Planet guidebook “is noted for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Price Tower, considered by his disciples to be his worst effort.” We didn’t visit it this trip, but we did visit with, in twenty-four hours, sixteen members of my extended family. Congratulations to T. for remembering all the names. It was a bit whirlwind, but I’m really glad we made it down there.
