Monday we took the day off. We actually slept in for a change. Didn't really want to sleep the day away so we finally got up around 11 am.
We took off towards the west because we usually go east or south and we know there isn't anything north. Not much west either but we were hopeful.
We pulled into a little town called Fredonia Ks. Drove around downtown playing Pokemon Go. Not much open on the holiday. We found this cool grandfather clock at the courthouse.
As we headed out we stopped at Try-Mee for some lunch. I checked Google reviews, which were all good and positive. Sounded like a good place to get a bite. Let me tell you that it was AMAZING! The burgers weren't huge, the fries weren't mounded, and they served Pepsi. Hubby and I were full but not overly full. The shocking part is it cost us a little under $12 to eat. 😊
After eating we drove around and "back home". Stopped for a Pepsi refill at
the Castle and headed east to familiar areas. We stopped at one of out favorite flea markets, Burton Trading Co on the Mo/Ks state line. Didn't buy anything but seen a lot of cool things as usual.
See why I like to stop there? This booth always had good price yarn.
After leaving hubby let me drive. We headed to the
Wildcat Glades and Conservation area south of Joplin. Neither of us had ever been there, which is surprising since hubby grew up in that area and we lived in that area for a few years after getting married.
I was specifically looking for the waterfall. We walking both ways on the trail where we parked and didn't find it. Guess I needed to do a bit more research. It was a neat area and we definitely want to go back. (I know where the falls are now thanks to Google, and we were way off. LOL!)
After we were done there we stopped at vintage stock and picked up a few movies then splurged and ate at Logan's Steak House before heading home.
Much enjoyed the day. Looking forward to the next day we take off.
