They have BUNNIES!!!
Before we start showing you everything we saw in Kansas, we have a few Kansas/Blogville trivia questions for you. Write your answers down, and we will give you the answers at the end of the post!

Now...Let's get to the good stuff!!
Today we'll start with the hotel!
Today we'll start with the hotel!
We stayed at the La Quinta in Salinas, Kansas for this visit and it was a nice LQ!
Mama here, the LQ in Salinas, was easily accessible from I-70. At the time we stayed there (June 2016) it was pretty new. They had clean rooms (not stinky), friendly staff and working(and clean) laundry facilities. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is right next door to a McDonalds (which can be good or bad :-). We give this LQ 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The rooms were comfy, and Arty perfected his pillow snuggling skills while we were there.
We walked around the hotel and admired the flowers..
I think it's this way back to the room Mama!
(Bet you didn't know I could point!)

When we got back to the room, I fell asleep as soon as my body hit the pillows!
Mama here, I just loved the Rest Areas. Most of them were in park settings with paths to walk the pups on. All were clean, well lit and safe!
Thank goodness they were too, because the road can get pretty boring!!
One rest area was FULL of bunnies!!
If only we could trust Mama off of her string, maybe we would have caught one!!
Of course we took the time ask life's most important questions...
There were beautiful streams...
...and yes, even a few corn fields!
After awhile it was hard to tell the scenery apart from the Rest Areas!!
Bridge trolls to hunt for...
More pretty streams
...and what's that???
...a beautiful farmhouse!!
We have to say, the scenery in Kansas was just beautimous!!
Mama took a few "scenic drives" off the highway.
We saw pretty clover....
Horse farms...
Even a couple of haunted houses!!
Lots of hay....
...and even some oil rigs!!
Mama made up for some of the long "scenic route" driving with a french fry or two!
Check out the rolling hills!! Aren't they pretty??!!
There were lots of beautiful stone fences!!
How interesting....I wonder why they wanted to abolish the
open range??? Where the Kansas Deer and Antelope play now???
We even saw the world's largest Van Gough painting!!
We really enjoyed Kansas, and Mama says there is so much more we didn't get to see.
Maybe one day we will get to go back!!!
Now for the answers to our Kansas Trivia Questions!
Did you guess which Blogville residents live in the "Little Apple"??
If you guessed Sibes, Cammie and Maggie of the Ao4, you guessed right!!
The other pack living in Kansas are also Sibes and are
Ciara and Lightning!!
Give yourself extra points if you knew that Angel Tank also came from Kansas....
Thanks so much for joining us for Travel Tails this week.
Tune is next week when we share Missouri and Illinois!
