Cornfields and sunflowers lined the road as we traveled through
Nebraska today. We were listening to The Wizard of Oz book on tape, and
thought we'd have it in Kansas, but we miscalculated and it finished
before we got to the border! But it was a grand story, it goes beyond
the movie, and we enjoyed listening to it. Kansas roads were also lined
with cornfields and sunflowers; it is The Sunflower State.

| A stop at the Brown vs. Board of Education National Historic Site. |
Our first stop of the day was in Topeka, Kansas, at the Brown vs. Board of Education National Historic Site. It is housed in the Monroe Elementary School building, one of the formerly segregated schools.
Next we went to a local burger joint for lunch. It turns out Bobo's has been around since 1948, and it has been on Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins. The burgers were great, and so were the fresh potato chips.
Next stop, Oklahoma! We went out for bbq with Rebecca, Joe Don, and The Curl. The guys (including Max the cat) tuckered out early, the girls talked 'til midnight!

| End of a long and fun day! |
