The family took another trip to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, last week. While my daughter was meeting with her neurologist, my son and I made a visit to the nearby World War I Memorial. Unfortunately, we still did not have the time to tour the museum inside, and we were there too early in the morning anyway, but we made sure we walked around the other side of the facility, after missing it when we were there last.
As long as we were "getting our steps in", we crossed the street for a visit to Union Station. The facility was open and readying for business at its theaters, food venues, and museums, but again, it was too early in the morning to witness much activity. Still, that's one of the best times to appreciate the structure itself. Out front the T-Rex proudly sported its CVD19 mask to remind passersby that he's not going to ever be caught in another extinction event.
Returning to the car, still freely parks at the top of the memorial hill, we were intrigued by the handicapped tree that was using a "crutch" to hold up its deformed old arm.
This is definitely an area to consider returning to in the future, as there is too much that we have yet to see. I count this as a followup to last year's teacher institute at Fort Ticonderoga in Upstate New York, where I was able to spend a week comparing and contrasting World War Zero (the French and Indian War) and World War One.
