On the Road: Tulsa

December 3, 2017

In late September, Topeca Coffee hosted a Specialty Coffee Association qualifying coffee competition in Tulsa.  Since Andy was planning on helping out with the competition, we decided it would make a great family mini-vacation.  And we were right! The Oklahoma Aquarium was our first stop on Saturday morning.  It was fantastic.  I was skeptical that an … More On the Road: Tulsa

County #7: Comanche

November 18, 2017

Comanche County was next on our list.  We hit the county seat, the town of Coldwater, hungry and hot.  We quenched our thirst and hunger at this great pizza place called Dave’s Pizza Oven, which is right off of the main drag.  It was great!  The pizza was tasty and they had a room of … More County #7: Comanche

Our second Kansas county on our county quest was Finney County. Garden City is located in Finney and has loads of fun things to do. We first hit Finnup Park and were delighted to see an old rocketship, similar to the one in Wichita’s Riverside Park, still in operation. The boys were so excited to … More County # 2: Finney

#75. Orchard Park

We had a blast at Orchard Park in northwest Wichita! It has an unusual baseball diamond covered with a rubber surface.  After doing some research, I found that this field is called a "Miracle Field" and it is home to an amazing program for kids with special needs to play baseball.  There is a whole … More #75.

#54. Harvest Park

July 9, 2017

On this hot summer Sunday we hit the city pool at Harvest Park. For a mere $8 (total), our family got to swim, relax and go down the awesome water slide. The pool was not too crowded. I’m guessing since Minisa Park had their free swimming day today, that might have played a part. Harvest … More #54. Harvest Park
