The next day we decided to go to the KC Royals game. The heat seems to be following us. Before we went to the game we stopped at the local Harley dealer. While Rich was shopping I started talking to one of the salespeople. She gave me her recommendations for KC BBQ- a must, I have been told if you are in the city. Then we went to the local Cabela's. This store was HUGE! It is like nothing I have ever seen. In addition to the usual displays the store also had: a pond with fish to feed, an aquarium, a restaurant, a shooting range and the largest exhibit of taxidermy mule deer in nation. It gave me lots to do with Danny while Rich helped Maggie pick out an archery bow and Ian an air soft gun.
We then went to Arthur Bryant's BBQ (the most authentic as told to me by the Harley lady.) As we drive deeper into Kansas City I begin to wonder about where we were going. Finally we find the place- it is 3:00 in the afternoon and there is a line out the door. Bryant's really is a neighborhood "joint." When you go in you wait in line, order through a window, pick up your food and then get your table. The food is basic BBQ, and it is delicious. Based on the pictures on the walls everyone who is anyone that has passed through KC has stopped here. (For all you vegetarians- there only options according to the posted menu are cole slaw and beer.) We were all stuffed after leaving here and ready to take in the baseball game.
Royals Stadium is a beautiful park. We bought tickets (in the shade) for a vendor in the parking lot and headed in. The seats were great- on the third base line, lower level. We arrived early enough to get our "KC Chips and Dip platters" and to take in the White Sox batting practice. Danny and Ian were quite excited when they got a ball from one of the players. The game was great, especially since the home team won. The fountains at the park are very nice and add a great touch to those special moments of the game. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
