What Does Kansas have to do With Our Summer Trip Anyway?

In just over a week we will be on the road again!  I can't wait.  But what does Kansas have to do with our summer trip anyway?  We have been to all the States with our Motorhome with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii over the past 10 years, and over that time we have spent quality time in all of them.  All except Kansas!  Sure, we drove through it, but for my daughter Sammi, driving through a corner of a State on the interstate, just doesn't count!  

Sammi is a proud member of the "All 50 States" club.   This is a club for people who have actually visited all 50 states, something Sammi accomplished after she talked her grandmother into taking her to Alaska a year ago.  As a member of the club, she feels we actually need to spend at least a few hours in the State and visit something.  So no matter what our summer plans, all roads lead to Kansas.  The current plan is to drive all 400 or so miles of Interstate 70 from Colorado to Missouri from one end of Kansas to the other.  The only problem, we can't find anything to really pull over and visit.  If you have made the drive through Kansas, give us a yell and let us know what we need to visit.

So, no matter where we end up this summer, Kansas remains on the top of our list.  After this... I think it might be time to start counting down the Canadian provinces!
