Let's Take A Hike!

Tuesday also dawned bright and beautiful!  We did some shopping and errands in the morning and then headed to Coronado Heights which is outside the town of Lindsborg.

Coronado Heights is a scenic overlook and park that was built in the 1930's by the Works Progress Administration.  It was built as a picnic area and a castle like building was included which is built out of Dakota limestone!



We decided this would be a "cool" place to have a picnic as it was nice and cool inside of the building!

The massive fireplace looks like it is well used for BBQ's!

We hiked around the area for about an hour and then headed into Lindsborg to drive around - it's called "Little Sweden" and there were these cute animals all over town!!  You could certainly tell it was a Swedish town!!

Back in Salina, Joleen took me to lunch at a great Italian restaurant called Martenelli's - excellent food!!  And then it was back to her house for the rest of the afternoon with drinks and appetizers!  Becca and her kids came over for a while and we spent the rest of the evening watching a movie!

Wed. morning it was time to head out again for home!!  What a great time in Kansas!  Thanks so much for the hospitality Joleen!!
