I typically fall into a slight depression every time I leave my week-long vacation in Missouri.
Not this time. I couldn't get sad because we loaded up dad the morning after Christmas and took him with us for a 1,450 mile road trip to Tempe, Arizona to watch the Tigers play the Hawkeyes in the 2010 Insight Bowl. As luck would have it, Amarillo was our exact ½ way point between central-Missouri and Phoenix so we were able to make a brief pit stop at our house for the night.

On the 26th, we drove through Kansas City, not only to drop off dad's truck at the airport, but to fuel up at Arthur Bryant's BBQ in the middle of downtown.

Known as "THE best BBQ joint in Kansas City... the BBQ capital of the world"
Ben's Aunt Mary & Doug rolled out the red carpet and let us stay in their guest house in Scottsdale and even watched Kaden while we went to the game (which didn't even start until his bedtime).
I know all stadiums are unique, but Sun Devil Stadium is literally carved from the desert...
as in it was constructed between two mountains.
I love this picture! Cardboard cutout dad strategically placed in photo?
Although you can't tell from this early photo, there were 53,000+ fans who made the same pilgrimage from Missouri and Iowa to watch their team play in the desert.
Marching Mizzou
Although we thought the Tigers might pull off a win, they ended up losing 24-27 in the last five minutes. Regardless we were there, had a good time, and didn't have to freeze!
