We've got Wednesday off, and so do the kids. We're looking for a day trip
to a good museum somewhere in the MidWest.

I dunno about the Kansas City Connie museum, but I do know
that there's an incredible museum involving the recovery
of a paddlewheel steamship from a field. The Steamship Arabia.
It fascinated me, it fascinated our friend and CFI Mike and
his wife, and it fascinated some friends of his who went there
on his rec. Well worth a day IMO.

I heard the FBO at Kansas City Downtown drove them right to
the Museum and picked them up.

IIRC it's called the "Steamship Arabia Museum" and it's near
the riverfront market, with a bunch of little stalls and
shops and a good brewpub/restaurant within easy walking
distance.
