Wichita, KS - March 2010

For Spring Break this year, Brian and I went to Wichita, KS. While Brian had already been to the Southern part of Kansas, it was my first time. In all honesty, I don't think that I have ever seen anything that flat before!

While we were there, we made sure to visit the American All-Indian Center. With a 44-foot statue 'Keeper of the Plains' by Wichita artist Blackbear Bosin to keep watch over the building, the museum has exhibits of Native American art and artifacts, as well as a traditional Wichita-style grass lodge.

Before heading home to Lawrence, we also made our usual stop at the city's art museum (Wichita Art Museum), which houses a wide variety of American art, including pieces by Frederick Remington, Dale Chihuly and Mary Cassatt.
