We began a weekly, summer segment this morning on NBC Action News Today called Fill Up and Go.
The idea is, to give you ideas for places any of us could realisticly load up the kids and go on one tank of gas, and what we could do once we get there.

This morning we went to Jamesport, MO. Jameport's about 82 miles from the center of downtown KC. Take I-35 North to 6 hwy, East on 6. It will take you about an hour and a half. If you're car gets 25 miles to the gallon (which is average), and gas costs $3.90 (which is the average today), you can get to Jamesport and back for about $25.
The official website for the town says it's an Amish community offers a glimpse of a by-gone era. There are antique stores, furniture stores, and Amish food stores with all sorts of homemade goodies. An event calendar on the website shows several big events in the Jamesport area, including this weekend's 200-mile long garage sale along hwy 6.
There are options for overnights, too, should you want to stay the night, including a couple of Bed and Breakfasts and Inns.
We'll do this again next Thursday, too, when we'll tell you somewhere else you can Fill Up and Go!!!
