Day 5
Redhed takes the Metrolink to the airport and heads home. I'm sure all went well on that journey.
Leraw and I head out to KC. I take my turn driving. (The shortest leg of the trip) He enjoys some Taco Bell for a late breakfast.
We make our first ever trip to Waffle House just outside of KC. Including the trucker couple that walked in just after we arrived and the two employees, one named Jim Bob, there were 6 people in the place.
The server nearly had a heart attack when I tipped her a staggering $4.
After checking in we headed downtown for large hamburgers and beer at Gordon Biersch. This was a travel day and we took it easy.

Two very important St. Louis travel tips:

1. Know the Metrolink to Airport schedule.
2. Don't miss the train by 5 minutes.

I had to get escorted through the airport to make my flight. Not cool.

Day 6
Went and got Lunch, picked up booze, hung out at hotel. Vacation was starting to wear us down.
Went to the game in the evening. Beer was only $6 and the had Miller and Bud products available. That's a rare thing these days.
Twins literally threw this one away, too. After the game we went to the hotel bar and hung out with Twins fans. I hung out late with the girls from Northern MN that were sitting in front of us.

Day 7
We meet up with our friends from the previous night and try to find a BBQ place they suggested. It no longer exists. They eventually get mad and take a cab back to the hotel. Heat, hangovers and Leraw don't sit well with some people. We go to Arthur Bryant's for some real KC BBQ and eat ourselves sick. Leraw never really recovers. Nap time, than game time. It has finally cooled off a bit. It's about 80 degrees at game time. I had a great Philly cheese steak at the game.
Back to the hotel bar. Leraw calls it a night. I hang out with about a half dozen Twins fans until about 4.

Day 8
The long drive home with a slight detour to stop at Golden Corral. Leraw drove and I slept most of the way. We arrived home a little after 6:00.

Did you ever find that couple we met in the Brewers parking lot that were doing the same trip as you?

Also, since I hate bbq sauce and ribs, I feel that Kansas City has nothing to offer me. Is this correct?

Kansas City has Boulevard Wheat beer.

You can't get it here in Wisconsin. It's good.

Boulevard Brewery

Leraw was texting the girl for a couple days but I'm sure her husband got jealous. We never saw them.
The stadium in KC is pretty nice. We didn't go out on the town much. I think it's pretty quiet during the week.
I think baseball or football would be the only real reason to go there.

We get that over here. At least at the liquor store I used to work at, that is.

You now know what to do when you visit next time.

You got it! I know we almost always had it in our "specialty" cooler. I assume they'd still carry it.

Sweet! Thanks!!
