Today we decided to stay close to home and visit Historic Liberty Square right here in Liberty. Actually it is just down the street from us and I had no idea it was there. The two pictures with Bill and me in them are from the Clay County Historical Society and the bank picture is the Jesse James Bank and Museum. It was the first bank to be robbed during peace time and it was robbed allegedly by Jesse James and his gang. That history seems to be a big thing around here and will take some more exploring. My knee was giving me grief so walking a lot wasn't an option. We will have to go back another day and catch everything as there was lots to check out in the area. Last week I was able to spend the week in Fort Collins while Bill was in Omaha working hard. I had lots more fun - I got to see James play football and Laura play rubgy. I was also there for Laura's 18th birthday and James' 14th birthday. It was great fun to be there and hard to come back home again. We are looking forward to visits from family in the coming months and plan to get the knee better this week so we can continue our adventures around the area. We will take suggestions from people who know the area or have visited something fun in Kansas City. Because someone commented that we didn't look like we were having fun in our pictures, we both tried hard to smile in these. It didn't work out all that well but we were having fun!
