It was our second trip to Arrow Rock and we didn't make in time to eat there, so we decided to travel to Kansas City to some barbecue. I have never been to Kansas-- the state, so we chose to check out a barbecue place called Brobecks in Overland Park, Kansas.
It was decent, not the best we have ever had, but it did have an old school feel to it and the waitress was super nice.
The corn fritters were tasty, especially after you let cool for awhile. (The left over heat up well the next day.)
Their Macaroni and cheese was melt in your mouth yummy! It makes me really happy to eat a good macaroni and cheese.
Afterwards I was on a mission to get my You are Here Starbucks mug from Kansas City. Mission accomplished. Starbucks was within walking distance to Whole Foods, so let's just say that I had a wonderful day-- but that doesn't even begin to cover it.
WE WERE ONLY 9 MILES AWAY IKEA!
I have to say--- and this might be super gushing-- I am completely in love with Ikea and would pack up my bags and live inside of it, if I could. I love modern European cheap furniture--- and I cannot wait until Joshua gets his postdoc so that I can have a little Ikea furniture.
I think we spent like 2 hours there walking around and trying out furniture. I left with some candles, and kitchen stuff, but no furniture. I'm waiting until we land for that.
Yes, I had a great little road trip. Yarn, barbecue, and Ikea. It was a nice departure from our normal nature stuff.
