Why I want to visit Kansas

I choose Kansas as my state because my dads cousin is the head football coach of Kansas College football team and I would like to see what Kansas looks like and drive around Kansas and see some old time buildings. I would also like to see the football stadium and if there food is any different than our food. I would like to visit Lawrence,Kansas and the university of Kansas.
