I'm on a roll

I'm crossing off #38. Go to Anthropology & art museums at KU...only there is no anthropology museum. It's the Natural History Museum. But it's pretty much anthropological exhibits. I highly recommend taking time to visit it. Only don't go when there's a group of 50 six & seven year olds. The noise can be deafening. My favorite part about the museum was the 3rd floor - paleontology and native species of Kansas. Did you know there used to be saber-tooth cats and mammoths in Kansas?!!!! Yeah, AWESOME! Really, you should go check out this place. We also went to the Spencer Museum of Art. Not as exciting as the history museum. Maybe I was just exhausted. Or maybe it was the dang docent following us around like we were going to jack a painting. It just wasn't as fun and exciting...that was until the power went out for a few seconds. Pitch black. Of course that guy was right behind us so it made it a bit creepy. We were just about to head up to the third floor but you could only get to it by elevator. We decided to say we'd seen enough. The last thing I wanted was to get stuck on an elevator. Especially if that creepy guy followed us onto it. Overall it was a good little day trip. Highly recommended. And if you go, stop in at Local Burger (9th & Vermont, East Lawrence exit, one/two blocks south of the river). This place is YUMMMMY!!! They use local and organic ingredients. And they have a list on the wall of all the farms that they buy their produce from... perhaps one day my farm will be on their wall! (Try the buffalo burger with cheddar and bacon.)
