While in Kansas for my grandpa's funeral, we were able to take a day to explore Lawrence. Our first stop was the Booth Family Hall of Athletics (Kansas Jayhawks museum), which houses The DeBruce Center where the original rules of basketball reside. Dad and I were in heaven!

After much Kansas Basketball history, we headed over to Freestate Brewing Company for lunch and to see Uncle George off. We walked around Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Lawrence for a bit, and then headed back to campus.

Our first stop on campus was the Kansas Union, and the bookstore - we, uh, spent some money there... 😆

After the bookstore, we went to Oread Hotel and looked out on the area around Lawrence from the top of Mount Oread. It was a beautiful hot, sunny day! Then we drove around some sunflower farms and toured Eudora bait more before heading back to our hotel for the night.
