Day 7: Laura Ingalls Wilder House

Photobucket
Sunday we traveled to The Laura Ingalls Wilder House on our way to Kansas City.
(Saturday we mostly hung around the hotel with my aunt and uncle from Ohio, and did some thrifting, so no pictures to show)

Unfortunately there were no photos allowed inside. Too bad because her whole house was amazing. My favorite part was the kitchen.

...Although I may have taken slipped my shoe off for a moment and stepped barefoot on her beautiful linoleum floor...

...we even got to hear her clock chime...

It was raining which made it extra special. The smell of warm summer rain on Laura's land was heavenly.

We also visited her gravesite, where a little girl had left a love note for Almanzo.

If you ever get a change to make it over there, do so, they have lots of her belongings on display in the museum, and the house Laura and Almanzo built together is a dream, preserved just how she lived in it.
