Road Trip to ISTE 2016

My husband and I left for Colorado on June 20th. We decided to drive across the country via I-70. Of course, we had to make a few pit stops along the way.

• St. Louis 
• Gateway Arch St. Louis - The arch is 630 feet tall and 630 feet wide at ground level. The top is 17 feet wide and it can hold about 160 people. The tram capsules move approximately 3.86 miles per hour. Once at the top, you can enjoy the spectacular views. It was an amazing experience! 
• Gateway Arch Riverboats: Sightseeing Cruise - This was a wonderful cruise that highlights the area and the Mississippi River. This was a terrific experience. 
• Joe's Kansas City BBQ - I can see why people from all over stop here for BBQ. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! It was really neat to see the original gas station too. 
• Brown vs. Board of Education National Historic Site - This stop was one of our expected surprises in Kansas! This historical site was well-done. It was informative and interactive. 
• Kansas State Capitol Building in Topeka
• Capitol Building - The capitol building is beautiful! There is so much rich information about the history of Kansas. 
• Dome Tours - There are 296 steps to the top of the dome. There are nine levels that you must climb in order to reach the very top. I made it as far as level eight. 
• Oz Museum in Wampego, Kansas - This museum is dedicated to the movie The Wizard of Oz. There are over 2,000 artifacts in this museum. 

It was a long drive, but worth it!! I will post my ISTE 2016 experience soon.
