So we finally rolled into Kansas City around 11pm tonight after over 8 hours of driving (with 2 pit stops and one pull-over). We are staying with Harsh's girlfriend's (Jenn) parents tonight and I must admit I was a little nervous to just stay with someone's parents like that. However, they have been very welcoming and seem like great people. John was quick to take us down in the basement to show us his latest batch of home-brewed beer that we wanted to check out and we talked for a while about the process and recipes and all that. I will tell you, he whips up some daaamn fine dark beer. Probably some of the best I have had, no joke. He gave us some glasses of 2 different kinds he makes, one called the 1554 and the other a chocolate porter. I think his recipe must include a shot of grain alcohol in each bottle though, as those went to my head pretty quick, haha. Joline also saved us a couple brats from dinner, which was nice to get after pretty much just eating peanuts and beef jerky all day.
Tomorrow we are planning on heading out to get some KC BBQ with them during lunch. I already told them I am a giant wuss when it comes to spice so hopefully I can get something on the mild/sweet side. After that it is back on the road to St. Louis, where we only have time to visit for a couple hours before heading on to Chicago (to get in around midnight). Jon is meeting up with us there to ride out the remainder of the trip to New England. Should be good. I am looking forward to trying some authentic deep dish pizza in Chi-town.
My sister Jessica also had a birthday today, so I will wish her another Happy Birthday here. Hopefully she had fun and didn't have to work too late today.
Alright, that's it for now. I'm pretty tired so I am going to get to bed and not going to upload any photos tonight. Tomorrow I will put some up and I'm going to start re-arranging them on ofoto into separate albums as its already getting crowded. If your name is Amy, I love and miss you. If your name is Max, Mordecai, or Mathilda, I still think you are little monsters but I miss you as well. For everyone else, I will just say good night.

Dudes! A food road-trip! After eatin' lobstah, what's the plan to finish the trip to Acadia? I have a pass already for the park.
I've got to learn how to do cartoons, there are plenty of characters around. We only lost the one to the West Coast.
Peace, See you when you get here.
