Spending a Few Days in Topeka, Kansas

Just a few weeks ago, I ventured into Kansas.

I seriously wish trees like this grew outside my house. 

That first evening we went to the Blind Tiger Restaurant. Although their website is a bit sad, the restaurant itself is actually pretty cool. It's a bar and to my surprise, we found out that their German brew actually beat the Germans' German Brew. Pretty cool!

The food was delicious and straight BBQ delicious-ness. 

This Thai Peanut Salad was my favorite lunch (two days in a row) at Juli's Coffee and Bistro.

...and you know I can't go anywhere without my Daniel Wellington watch!

We hung out at the Burger Stand at College Hill the second evening. Drank a few brews and had a burger. My kind of meal!

"Pro-fesh"

The third evening we went to Chez Yasu French Restaurant. There were some appetizers to start that I didn't particularly find appealing (creepy crawly things freak me out!)

...but I do love me a good shrimp so I was happy with some shrimp cocktail.

As my main entree (I feel like I should be saying "and for the final act, I present to you...") I had herb chicken, green beans and potatoes. 

That third evening, there were a few tornado warnings and you can tell from the sky that the weather was not going to be pretty. I can't believe this is a consistent occurrence. I was worried about where I would go or what I needed to do IF a tornado actually happened. 

Overall, it was a good trip and it's always good to experience places completely unlike your own. 

Have you ever been to Kansas?
