Wednesday was the fourth day of our road trip and because of the special event on this day I’m going to have two separate posts breaking the day into two halfs.
The first post for Day #4 can be called, ” I’m going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.” We started in Nebraska, crossed a bridge into Iowa and then continued on I-29 crossing into Missouri and on to Kansas City.
Our route to I-29 took us through this quaint Main street in Plattsmouth where we continued on crossing the Plattsmouth bridge over the Missouri river and which had a $1.25 toll.
Did you notice we have sunshine and clouds? We had mostly dry weather on this day. There were pockets of rain but they didn’t last long.
After two and a half hours on the road we spotted Kansas City in the distance.
We had a very important lunch date in Kansas City and I’m happy to say we weren’t late. We found our way to Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue where we were meeting up with a long time bloggy friend Pam and her daughter Whitney.
Over my blogging years I’ve always appreciated Pam’s thoughtful words and prayers for me and others. She’s a gem.
Pam’s husband sent Pam to lunch with instructions to pay for our meal. Thank you Pam’s hubby. We really appreciate your generosity. We had no problem with conversation throughout our meal. The food was delicious and filling. Pam gave Katie and me a bag with homemade cookies to take along our journey. Pam! The cookies are delicious and we do want the recipe…as close as you can get it! 🙂
We are so happy it worked out with timing for us to be able to meet up for lunch. This was the end of the first half of day four on the road. I’ll share about the second half of day 4 tomorrow as we continued east through St. Louis into Illinois.

What a wonderful road trip. I so love that quaint main street. Pam is clearly a delightful friend and I’m so happy you and Katie had a chance to visit with her and Whitney.
Praying you rest well tonight!
It was pure joy for us to lunch with you girls. When I first found your blog it was kind of a dark season of life and you lifted my head to our Father….an encourager from afar. Thank you my friend, thank you! Here is a link to the cookie recipe on my recipe keeper blog. I lost all of my recipes and decided to start a blog with things I tweak and Pinterest finds that might disappear, so its not a classy blog, just a place to keep track of things. I’m still drooling when I think about the 4 Tablespoons of vanilla. http://pammieramone.wordpress.com/2014/04/29/cinnamon-dark-brown-sugar-cookies/
This is such fun – travelling along with you and Katie!!! Your meeting with Pam and her daughter Whitney was such a nice treat. Stay safe and know that many prayers are being sent your way!!!
I am going straight to that cookie recipe on leaving today. LOL!
Oh I am so glad that you were all able to meet and have lunch and that it was a joy. But of course!
Love the scene of Main Street…quintessential American Main Street…gotta love it. I imagine that you are now ready to hit the road for another day. Looking forward to seeing all the sights.
It is such a pleasure to meet a blogging friend! I have met two so far, and it has been a delight!
Safe and happy travels today…
Oh, how fun is that…to meet blogging friends along the road! (I know.) And how special to be treated at a local BBQ favorite…and to have cookies for the road. Safe travels today.
I’m going to check out the cookies now.
I see you are having a wonderful adventure on this trip, no matter the weather!
Such fun to meet up with blogging friends along the way as well.
Yummy! That little town’s mainstreet almost looks like one of the main streets of a town not far from us!
