Day 1 - St. Louis to Kansas City

Miles traveled:

By Car - 270 mi

By Foot/Paw/Other - 4.8 mi (not including Bar K running)

Car Entertainment - Mostly RHCP... Started with "Road Trippin" because, duh...and then just got into the vibe from there.  

We started on our journey after a good morning walk around the neighborhood.  All packed up to include the little bubbas in the back seat.

We absolutely picked the most expensive time in HISTORY to take a road trip and started by filling the tank with $81.31 worth of gas.  And then we were off to KC!

Once on the road we got pretty comfortable.  I know this looks all cute like they are snuggling (which is what I thought at first too), but really they just figured out where the air conditioning vents are and both tried to get right in front of them.

After about two hours on the road we saw a sign for the Katy Trail at Rocheport just a few miles off the highway, so we stopped to stretch our legs! 

After about another two hours we made it to our hotel in KC.  After getting settled in we picked up my sister, Dani, and headed to the KC Bark K! Kansas City, MO - Bar K (barkdogbar.com) 

This is the OG Bar K and a lot like the one Rhino and Charlie are used to in St. Louis.  They had a blast, drank a TON of water and got completely dirty on the first day of the trip!

I also finally got to try the Quirk Bomb Pop by Boulevard!  Really refreshing and yummy when it's 97 degrees outside!

Raspberry Rocket Pop - Boulevard Brewing Company 

We finished our first day with dinner at Harry's Country Club where we could sit outside and give everyone who walked by a Sheepadoodle greeting! Harry's Country Club (harryscountryclub.com) 

I will call the first day a success with Rhino and Charlie passed out in their hotel bed.
