🇺🇸 How to Explore Kansas – The Sunflower State! 🌻🦕

We continued north on I-35 🚗 and arrived in Kansas – even quieter than Ohio, with fewer but unique attractions. And yes, there’s Kansas City BBQ waiting! 😉 Shortly after entering Kansas from Oklahoma, we stopped at the Kansas Travel Information Center. There’s a small gift shop, and you can even get a free pack of Kansas sunflower seeds! 🌻 Next, we headed to Wichita – the largest city in Kansas.
