I'll be seeing you tomorrow Emporia, KS. This day long trip will probably start in Topeka where I'll be having a lovely breakfast with my friend Ty. From there, I'll drive the 45 minutes south to good ol Emporia. Morning/afternoon activites include seeing my mom's side of the family. We'll be celebrating my cousin Kenzie's birthday...mmm cake. Later that evening I'll be traveling to Hartford to visit my dad's side of the family. I hope the easter bunny knows that I'll be going there. Some random factoids below:
- The Braum dairy store chain, based in Oklahoma City, originated in Emporia in 1952 under the name Peter Pan
- In 1953, Emporia was the site of the first Veterans Day observance in the United States
- Emporia was founded on February 20, 1857, drawing its name from ancient Carthaginian Africa
Pretty exciting stuff.
