Memorial Day Weekend in Wichita

We went to Kansas for Memorial Day weekend to visit some good friends, Clayton & Tawny. Matt actually grew up with both of them in Iowa. I got to hear lots of stories I had never heard before over the weekend! :) Friends from childhood hold a special place in your heart. It was fun to see Clayton and Matt having fun together...as if it hadn't been over a whole year since they had seen each other. It was great to get to know Tawny as well. She is a wonderful compliment to Clayton!

It was a little rainy on the way out...which was a perfect excuse to wear my new green slicker (as Nicole would call it!) See my Kansas atlas and info? We are set!

Clayton and Tawny took us to Old Town Saturday evenging after we arrived. It was a neat little area.

We went into this restaurant...were served water, looked at the menu, and headed out!
Too exotic and too expensive for our tastes that particular night!

We were much happier here for dinner.

Then we went down to the riverwalk for a stroll.















The Keeper of the Plains



They lit the fires!

Matt is trying a taping technique to ease some of the pain Clayton has been having with his shoulder. He taught Tawny as well so she can help him keep it up for awhile. Hopefully it works!

The Orignial Pizza Hut begun by two Wichita State Universtiy Graduates! They moved it back to WSU's campus
to inspire other students that they can accomplish anything if they put their mind to it.

After a Sunday of church, delicous lunch (nice work, Tawny!), afternoon walk around their lovely neighborhood and nap for Matt and I...we played a rousing game of Hand and Foot. So fun! Tanwy and I ALMOST won. This could be a new favorite card game. On Monday we ate lunch at Planet Sub before starting the 8 hour trek back to the Springs!

Thanks for a great weekend, Clayton & Tawny!
