Day 4: Pawhuska, OK to Kansas City, MO

This morning was all about me.  Ever since I heard that the Pioneer Woman was opening a store I just knew I had to get there.  I planned the beginning of this trip all around that.  I just love her, and her recipes are soooo good!!  Since her place is so popular, we decided to get there for breakfast so that we wouldn't have to wait in line so long.  Even though we were there shortly after 8am, there was still a short line.

Everything is just perfect... even waiting in line is covered and divided by these gold and red ropes..  It makes you feel like you are somebody!!

Then we finally made it to the front door!!

The menu had so many options it was hard to decide what to get.

Here's what we settled on...

You can tell by the look on his face that it was delicious...

Haylee and I shared this..  that butter was infused with some deliciousness.. and you can't forget about the 4 kinds of syrup that is served with them.   

Going from left to right-- just plain maple, salted caramel, orange-clove, and vanilla-cinnamon--

OH MY!!!  They were all yummy!!  Sorry no pictures of David's food.  His order was messed up and we were too hungry to wait, but he had a delicious breakfast sandwich.  

Then we did a little shopping, and headed up stairs to the bakery...  OH MY WORD!!  So good...  We just took some goodies with us so we could get on the road... next stop Kansas

While trying to find things to do along on our road trip, I came across this.  The site is where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived during her life.  She is the author of The Little House on the Prairie books.  Although the buildings are replicas there are still some real things that belong to the family.

Behind Haylee is the prairie that she would look at from her front porch, while she wrote.

We left there and went to the Brown vs Board of Education National Historic Site.

Then we went to see the capital building.

We finally found a sign to prove we were in Kansas.

We took a quick look around

Since we were close to the University of Kansas, we drove around the campus.

Since the weather was perfect, we decided to camp.  We quickly got the tent set up so the kids could swim before the pool closed.

After a quick swim, it was dinner time. I found this place called Fritz's,  You call in your order from the table, and then it's delivered by  a train.

This was so fun!!
