While in Kansas I made my way to Lawrence, of course :)
There is a new hotel in Lawrence called "The Oread" (KU's main campus is on Mt. Oread) and sits in the location of The Crossing and Yellow Sub. I was very bummed when I heard they were tearing down those KU landmarks. It is sad to think I am one of the last classes to enjoy an afternoon beer in the spring or a sandwich you have to wait 20 minutes for. I digress. I was apprehensive about the new hotel, but was won over this weekend by it's limestone decor and wonderful rooftop terraces.
Here is a view from the top terrace.
While in Kansas I found a way to go to a KU Football and Basketball game. Those of you who know me well can only imagine how happy that made me! Friday night was the KU Bball game. KU won, of course!
Saturday morning we went to the KU vs OSU football game. We did not win but it was nice to go and enjoy the atmosphere. Also, check out that new video board!
It was the first time in a long time that the original Mason's were together. Bob stayed in KC to hang out with his family. We also met up with my dad's cousin Mike that lives in Lawrence.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!

We are really disappointed with the Oread. They just emailed us and have changed the rates for the games next year...which we already had reservations for to $179 a night with a two night minimum. That’s not all!!! There is a 30 day cancelation policy (ridiculous!) and you pay completely when you book! We cancelled our rooms. The place is nice, but not that great! I’d rather stay at the Springhill Suites and be able to walk around Mass Street! Elise
