Sharon and Janie took off for Wichita. They are spending a long weekend with Mary Maloney.
They caught a 9:50 am Southwest flight from Sacramento to Las Vegas and then on to Wichita. They were on the ground about 4:45 pm local time. Sharon flew on Janie's companion pass.
Sharon and Janie finished the day with dinner at Mary's house. Her grandson grilled steaks.
Although there was a regional Farm Credit Bank in Wichita and I worked on a merger between the Sacramento and Wichita banks thirty years ago, I have never been to Wichita.

Sharon and Janie's Wichita Weekend - Day 3
Sleeping late, Sharon, Janie and Mary eventually went for a three plus mile walk in Mary's neighborhood. They had a very late breakfast. Sharon noted that they stayed up late and slept late the entire weekend.
Although they had originally planned to go to the Wichita Art Museum, they ended up going shopping at upscale Von Maur instead. They finished the day with a late dinner at 6S Steakhouse.

Sharon and Janie's Wichita Weekend - Day 2
Sharon, Janie and Mary toured the Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen House. Commissioned in 1916 and completed in 1918, the house is named after its first owners, newspaper publisher Henry Allen and his wife, Elsie. It was the last of the architect's famous prairie houses, which emphasized horizontal lines, earth tones and a continuous blending of interiors with exteriors.
Sharon bought a book of all Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings that are open for tours. Talking to her on the phone, she suggested that we start a quest to visit all of them.
After lunch at a wine bar, they toured the gardens at Botanica. Sharon noted that it was hot, but not as humid as she feared.
They finished the day cooking salmon at Mary's house.
