I flew in to Kansas City on Tuesday and had a 3 hour drive to the location that I am working at.
When I finally got of the turnpike I saw this...
It was another 50 miles or so to Newton, KS.
After or before my work day I do take a little bit of time to explore...
Newton has a fabulous old train station that Amtrak still stops at. There is a pretty big train yard too. Apparently this was a town where the railroad crews changed.
I also ate at the Breadbasket in Newton.
They have wonderful soups.
I was amazed that for a small town how many fabric shops there are. People here do a lot of quilting. There are 3 quilt hangings that I have seen in the building
I am working in.
There has been no stitching, I was hoping to tonight but somehow time has gotten away from me. I spent today exploring Wichita. I will post more about that tomorrow.
Thanks for traveling with me.
I need a salad!

Great pics, Chris! I'm glad you're able to take time to explore when you're on travel for work. Seems like wherever I go, places are closed by the time I'm able to get out. I love the idea of ordering two cups of different soups rather than just one bowl. That's brilliant and I'll be doing that next time I can't decide and I'll definitely remember you, when I do!
Good for you taking time to enjoy and explore.
Love your post Chris! I think you had a great idea for getting to sample more than one soup!
Thank you for sharing.
Safe travels - love Annette
Wow, gorgeous photos. Love the soup idea: perfect. Normally I have to steal whatever hubby choses rofl
Lovely photos and fab food , did you buy any material. Hugs.
How lucky you are to see so much of the U.S. in your new position, Chris!! I'm glad your travel time is not only spent on work and that you can see new sights and taste new foods. The topography of Kansas really does look so different than here in the East!!
Safe travels to wherever you're headed next!
Chris: Wow there are some perks to being on the road for woek, I never thought of taking pictures when I am on the road, the food looks great, the train station is lovely I love old buildings.
Thank-you for sharing a fun part of your job.

Truly so beautiful xxx
It's fun to join you on your travels Chris, I don't know how you keep up these days. I'm impressed that you still find time to blog, I'm glad you do though.
Ah, the food! Must be fun to try out the food! I lived in Kansas once upon a time. Flat with rolling hills, trees very tiny compared to the east coast. Very different!
Round, round, get around, you get around!
ooOoo! Thanks for sharing Chris. Your food looks really, really good!
Great pictures - and the food looks so yummy!
Enjoy!
That train station is so cool! I would love to get off at that station everyday from work! The food looks amazing and you should buy some fabric from the quilting stores...heheee!!7
Hugs!
Beautiful train station and butterfly! It is so flat there. When we go back to the mid-west it always amazes me how very flat it can be.
What a beautiful old train station!
Happy you're sharing the sights with us. As different as BBQ is from NC to SC, I can imagine it would be a different thing out in Kansas. Don't you love that craving for salad? Me, too! Safe travels!
Great photos, enjoy exploring.
I'm reading about your trip backwards, but I always get that craving for vegetables when I've been travelling. I hope you got some!
