Last weekend, I got invited to do a little 'staycation' in Independence, MO, which isn't too far from my home! I have driven through Independence countless times, and I even used to work in the area; however, I had no idea what there was to do for fun in the city. I'm excited to share some of the places that Ethan & I explored during our stay, as well as some of the recommendations I collected from you all on Instagram.

Historical Sites

Funny enough, this old-fashioned soda fountain located a 20-minute drive from Kansas City operates out of the same building where a young Harry Truman worked his first job, at the Crown Drug Store. Beyond occupying a historic space, Clinton's is one of a dwindling number of soda shops where you can still order a phosphate — an old-school, effervescent soft drink that gets its signature tang from one key ingredient, phosphoric acid. Take a seat at the marble bar, and commence your visit with some of the classic diner fare — an oozing grilled cheese sandwich with a side of dill pickles, for example — then wash it down with a root beer or black cherry phosphate. Cap off your meal with Clinton's classic banana split, which comes loaded with diced pineapple, hot fudge and strawberries.
