One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to Liberal Kansas - it's the nearest big city to Beaver (this means it has a Walmart and is home to three major meatpackers....). I had never been so I suggested to Daz that we visit. I mentioned jokingly that we'll definitely have to visit Dorothy's House while we are there. Then much to my surprise Daz tells me that Dorothy's House really IS in Liberal Kansas. So perfect.
When we turned up we took some photos of me outside the recreation of Dorothy's House and then of us as munchkins, but little did we know that you could not only tour the inside of the house but also the Land of Oz for a mere $5 each. Um yes thank you.
Me and our tour guide, Dorothy
Here's a close-up of those awesome red shoes
And here is Dorothy and Toto inside the Land of Oz exhibition
So if you ever happen to find yourself in Liberal Kansas, here is my recommended guide of things to do.
1. Tour of Dorothy's House and Land of Oz
2. Eat Mexican - there's a massive Latino population because of the meatpacking industry.
3. Visit the Et Cetera thrift store - I bought a ton of stuff there
You can check out all of our photos here.
I was born and raised in Kansas and had no idea this existed!

Hmm, looks like Dorothy has been visiting those meatpacking plants for some rounds of beef! And what happened to Toto? Electrocution?
