| Our first of several trips into Kansas |
We used an invitation to a wedding in Kansas City as an
excuse for a long weekend of new sights, local foods and a short visit with
family. First up was an afternoon trip
to Independence, Missouri, where we chased daylight and scouted for signs of
ruts left in the ground from wagon wheels on the Oregon Trail.
The following morning, we headed out to Fair Share Farm in Kearney to pick spinach, learn about community-supported
agriculture and eat carrots plucked straight out of the soil. We crisscrossed
over the borders of Kansas and Missouri so many times during the trip that I
lost track, and then it all came to an end with a night of dancing and drinking
beneath romantic strings of lights.
