Roadtrip! Kansas City MO to Madison WI, to celebrate my birthday over a long weekend in April. Please help us plan with insider advice on local color, tasty food & drink, picturesque roads, historic spots and natural wonders -- anything we'd be silly to miss. I'd really really like to hit The House on The Rock, but that's just an hour outside of Madison, and it would be rad to find some quirky fun stops for the route in between for both coming and going. Is there anything between KCMO & Madison? I'm new around here.

We're a young, silly, romantic couple. Scenic overlooks for "parking" highly desired.

We're all set on stuff to do *in* Madison while we're there.

p.s: thanks timnyc, from whom I cribbed the language of the question from an earlier ask. Hope your trip was awesome!

Where's the cool stuff in KCMo?

I'm attending (as my first real vacation in 20 years) the Heinlein Centennial in KCMo in July. What to do; what to do? I'm a photographer, so I'll be looking for interesting things to take pictures of, in my Copious Free Time, and I'll be taking the bus trip to Butler (Heinlein's birthplace) as well, so that city and the likely travel route are also in play.

And, of course, first vacation in 20 years. :-)

Anyone from there, spent any time there, also going to the event? The convention itself is downtown, the 6th, 7th, and 8th; we're getting in some time on the 5th, and coming back on the 9th.
