The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art
Today we went to The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. It's a contemporary art museum located on the Johnson County Community College campus. It's on the smaller end for museums and one of the wings was closed for an installation so it was even smaller but it had a great collection of emerging and established contemporary artists and it was free with free parking too. It was the right amount of art and commitment for the day and we had a great time exploring.

After our museum visit we headed over to the local grocery store to pick up a few things for our dinner. I noticed that I am in "Little Debbie" country. I know I have seen "Little Debbie" around but not this prominent.

| Little Debbie wants you to know that Fall is Coming! |
 |
| This is a Kansas Liquor Law. I should do 2 posts for Liquor Laws in Kansas and Missouri |
We also got to drive a bit of the "Ring Road", I-435 around KCMO and KCK.
 |
| I learned a new skill today too! I am sure there is a better way to do this but this is the ring road on Google Maps. We have done very little of it. |
That's it for today. If you missed yesterday's post you can see it here.
