Day 12 - Through the gateway to the west and on to Lawrence Kansas

We started day 12 with a short drive to the Gateway Arch.  We traveled up in tiny pod elevators to the look outs 630 feet above the city.  Our driver Zack tagged along.  The construction of this remarkable monument is fascinating.  Eric got it rocking from one side to the other.

On the way to Lawrence we stopped off in Kansas City, not that one, the other one, for Katie's favorite ice cream - Glace Artisan.  If you ever get there, try the saffron and rose petal, not to be missed.  Gina also offered roadside haircuts, right in front of the barber shop by Glace.

We were greeted warmly in Lawrence and the kids played another wonderful concert to a responsive and appreciative audience.  This is the Walzel's church. Bob was out of town but we were thrilled to see Marcie.

Back when they painted portraits, they just left off the imperfections.  No photoshop needed, not that it's ever needed.
