In Independence, Missouri we went to the Harry S. Truman house.  President Truman moved back to this house after his 8 years as President in the early l950's. It looks just like it did in 1982 when his wife died.  It was very fun to tour the house and remember some of the things of that era.
As we were driving along the highway Richard spotted this gas station, still a functional station.  He had to stop and take a picture.
The next picture is of Liberty Jail where Joseph Smith and some other LDS church leaders were imprisoned.
The last picture is Vaile Mansion in Independence, a beautiful 1881 mansion with wonderful tall doorways, 8 marble fireplaces, flushing toilets, 3 stories, 30 rooms and lovely period furnishings.
It was a very eventful, fun filled day.
We also enjoyed tasting Kansas City BBQ the past 2 days -- Oklahoma Joe's BBQ in Kansas City, Kansas and Arthur Bryant's Barbeque in Kansas City, Missouri. Yum! -Ann
