Traveler Photos of Minneapolis

Ozarkland!  Just as tacky inside as outside! Dylan acting silly trying on Dorothy's red slipper!  We're in Kansas! Capitol building in Topeka, KS.  We visited on a Sunday so we did not get to go inside this time.  I went in last summer.  Nice. Eisenhower Center, Abilene, KS
