We're back in San Diego after our whirlwind visit to Kansas City. On Sunday we had the city to ourselves and opted to visit the Liberty Memorial. You may be more familiar with it's colloquial name: The National World War I Museum.
Let me tell you, this museum was the real deal. A lot of museums can just put stuff up without any intruige or information, but to compliment the thousands of artefacts they had videos and timelines and artillery pieces and exhibits on what the different trenches looked like and what it would have been like to have fought in one. They had guns, knives, uniforms, torpedos, a tank, hand grenades, sewing kits, playing cards, everything! There is so much that your low, low admission of $12 (free for active duty and retired career military) you actually get admission to the museum for TWO days.
It was a remarkably lovely experience that definately justified staying an extra day in Kansas City. If you're passing through, make sure you allocate the time to go visit this treasure hidden away in America's heartland.
Keep it in the family.
When we take our baseball trip to Kansas City, we'll definitely go to the museum.
