Sunny and 80°
July 29, 2014
On Tuesday we left Lone Jack, Mo and headed toward KS. We have been so lucky weather-wise. Today was a good travel day. We haven't had any major road construction either.
We made a stop in Wamego KS at the OZ Museum. The Museum ($8 per person) is in a small building and houses one of the largest private collections of OZ memorabilia in the world, including books by Frank Baum who was the author of the Wizard of OZ. The Wizard of Oz movie plays continually...and I must admit it is still one of my favorites. In October the annual OZtoberFEST is held in Wamego. The OZ Winery is within walking distance and sells A Witch Gone Good, Squished Witch, and Emerald City Lights. A yellow brick road is in a nearby park.
It was on my bucket list and on our route through Kansas. It was worth the stop, but we felt the price was a little high for such a small museum. There were at least 20 other people there during the hour we were there. Pets are welcome inside the museum if they are carried or in a stroller.

Several dresses were considered for Dorothy but this stle was the favorite.
Signatures of some of the Munchkins.
We had two soft tacos at "Toto's TacOZ" and they were really good.
We drove across Kansas and really enjoyed the beautiful farms. Some people think Kansas is boring, but we've been across it several times and always like it.
I like the Toto's Tacos. And I'm sure glad you had some decent weather crossing Kansas. It can be iffy.
