Made it to the famous Oklahoma Joe's BBQ in Kansas City and met Steve and Lisa (Jim Elliot's brother/girlfriend) there for dinner, it was excellent just like Jerry said it would be! We had a very nice dinner and great company, wish we had a picture to share!
The next day we headed to St, Louis, MO to visit Jerry's brother Kevin and wife Jody, had a wonderful visit plus toured the Arch (Gateway to the West), walked the Farmer's Market (which has been opened since 1779) in the Soulard District, they had excellent produce at awesome prices...couldn't help but pick up some goodies! Visited the Montelle Winery in the hills outside of St. Louis, unbelievable views! Even got a little thrift store shopping in, right up my alley :)
This morning we were back on the road and in Crete, IL at a very nice secluded RV Park surrounded by trees and even have a little lake to enjoy! Perfect place to kickback for a couple of days. Tomorrow we will be heading out in the morning to explore Chicago for the day, we have a city tour along with a riverboat tour planned and from there we will decide where to land for dinner and entertainment. More to follow!
