Brunch at YJ's Snack Bar in the art district of Kansas City, MO was fun. The store front is tiny, tiny and hasn't been painted or redecorated in eons. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It was a fun, funky little place for our breakfast.
The former fire station is now the Visitor Center for Independence MO. The building to the right is the jail and marshal's house that once housed Frank James. Tours of President Harry S. Truman's home are $4.00, but we decided to see the library during the short time we had. I saw some of the interior during the film at the visitor's center. It is only about 3 blocks from their church and 6 blocks from the center of town. There are other Victorian homes for sale in the neighborhood for about $300,000.
The eternal flame is in the courtyard of the Harry S. Truman Library. The graves of Bess and Harry Truman and their daughter and son-in-law are here directly above the flame and near the building in the background. This building contains the office Pres. Truman used after he retired. The office was closed for renovation.
The replica of President Truman's Oval Office. Visitors hear the voice of President Truman describe the room.
General Dwight Eisenhower gave President Truman the globe in this photo. It was used as a centerpiece in many official visitor photos during Truman's two terms in office.
I was surprised by how small the Oval Office really is.
The famous desk plaque. It sits in its own glass case in the foyer to the Oval Office.
Our RV Park has a few short trails behind it.
The little stream ran into a farm field below.
This conch is fungus on the side of tree. We saw a blue heron and a cardinal and heard many other birds.
Poor Rocky, whatever he was, is buried along the trail. Now he is immortalized forever in this blog.
Daffodils are all over the park. It is amazing that they have survived the low night temperatures; a far cry from weather in Pt. Aransas. I am typing this in jean, sweatshirt, and wool socks. Sure miss the capris, short-sleeve tops, and sandles. My pedicure in Tulsa was a waste. No one can see my pretty toes.
