But when I went to Google Maps I noticed that the new changes to the Worlds of Fun entrance are not on there.

A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
Today's post is a milestone of pictures. Been reflecting back through pictures for quite awhile to get to 100. So it seems appropriate that this milestone should feature something as important as a meeting of two Lightfoot branches. In the summer of 2008 the New York and Missouri branches met in Ohio. We stayed in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
