Tuesday we headed out with Wan to visit the Comosphere. An interesting space site, kind of out in the middle of no where, but they had an impressive array of exhibits including the Apollo 13 space capsule, an SR 71, and quite a presentation of German WWII rocket technology and its impact on the space race and cold war. After saying goodbye to our hosts (Thanks Wan and Mi Ying!), we headed up to Abeline KS to visit the Eisenhower Presidential Museum and boyhood home. It had a lot of WWII items, including the pen that the US and Germany used to end the war.
Then it was off to Topeka area for the night. We stayed at the Shawnee Lake Park, and hoped the Thunderstorm warnings would go way without tornados or golf ball size hail materializing! Amanda made a great chicken pot pie as we continued our string of a week or so without eating at a restaurant.
Wednesday morning we stopped in Independence Missouri to visit the Harry Truman Museum. Another very interesting presentation of history and significant events in our countries history. The kids are pictured in a replica of the Oval Office during the Truman administration. We pushed on to Saint Louis, and made a quick end of day visit to the Arch. The trip to the top of the arch was sold out, but we found an RV park just across the Mississippi river in walking distance from the arch! More for tomorrow.
