It's tough to
remember all the things which happened few days back. I should have at least
wrote the post in my mobile and posted it later. Anyways I didn't do that and
let's test my memory now.
We checked out the
hotel and picked a coffee at the lobby in star bucks. Problem with star hotel
is you are not allowed to any work and expected to give tip everywhere. The
previous night the self-garage parking was full and we had to use valet parking
and we spent few minutes to search for change to give it to the guy who took
the car to the front. The guy even asked us whether we need a change and It
turns out he didn't have for $100 bill. Anyways we were able to find some
change and hit the road earlier. We stopped at Waffle House for breakfast and
the place was interesting. Though the food was good, we did see a person who
keeps smoking one after another till he leaves the place. So in Midwest you are
allowed to smoke or the law was not imposed properly.
We are on the road
again and I was booking a camp at yellow stone thru phone and no need to
explain, how hard it would be to spell my name and address. This time though
it's not just the name, it's about the dimension of our Tent and Vehicle (and
they needed the exact measurement) and it took few minutes to figure out all
and book the camp site.
We reached Kansas
city around 3pm and went straight to the world war I Memorial and this place
was something unique. If somebody wants to know the history and weapons used in
WWI then this is the place you should be. The memorial also has a tower which offers
a good view of Kansas City Sky Line and I don't think there is another place
which offers a better view than this.
After the memorial
visit we went to Toys R US to buy toys for our friends kid who will be visiting
the next day. When we came out of the store there was a Mongolian Fired dish
restaurant which welcomed us without the welcome board. Almost all of them were
there for dinner and we were there for lunch. As per plan we will take a nap
till midnight so that we can keep continue driving as soon as others join us.
We decided to park our car at WWI Memorial since it offered a good view for
photography and forced him to go there and take a nap. At 9 pm the ranger has
asked us to take the car out since he had to close the door. We went to
Wal-Mart and bought a cover for Roof Rack and loaded some of our luggage's to
the top after making some space for the guys who will be joining us that night.
They reached around 1 and we picked them up and the fun continues.
Some of the photos
taken during Day 5.
