The bugs were there the night before, they were all around while we slept, and they were all around in the morning.  We went to the showers, and the bathroom was full of those cicadas.  We had not plans this day (besides getting away from those bugs) on our way to back to Kansas City.  

We went to Einstein Bagels and got a dozen bagels and ate those on the road.  We drove straight through to Kansas City and back to Overland Park when we realized that this was the home of the NCAA (They did move their headquarters to Indianapolis a few years later).  They had a museum there so we decided to stop there and check it out. 

Following that we headed back over to Grandma Bryan's house.  We got there about 3:00 in the afternoon and spent the afternoon hanging out.  Grandma B took us to see her church and meet some of her friends.  We then headed out to the Boardroom BBQ.  Kansas City is known for their BBQ and we took the advice of Christa's dad, Christa, and Grandma Bryan and this is one of the best places in Kansas City.  And it did not disappoint.  We had beef brisket and ribs and they were phenomenal.  Following dinner, we came back to Grandma Bryan's and Brian and I played catch at the school across the street from her.  After that we hung out with Grandma B, read a book that she had written about her life which was very interesting, and then watched some of the Eastern Conference Finals between Chicago and Indiana before heading to bed.
