Hi everyone, and welcome back to Life Captured! Have you ever visited Topeka, Kansas? Beyond being the state capital, it sits right at the geographic center of the lower 48 states. It’s also a city packed with incredible history. For instance, did you know that Topeka lawyer Harry Colmery actually drafted the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (better known as the G.I. Bill) right here? It’s pretty amazing to think about how much our State’s Capitol City shaped American history. CGSC Foundation
Now that summer break is here and I’m off school bus duty, I finally have the chance to soak up extra time with my granddaughters. And I am loving every minute of it. The other day, my youngest granddaughter and I headed into Topeka for a special lunch date. Our destination? The Pennant. Not only is the food great, but it’s packed with fun activities like bowling and vintage arcade games that the kids absolutely love!
Check out those nails! Normally, these stay at home, but Grandma let her keep them on for our special day out. We had such a fun time! It was the perfect little treat during a wonderful day of bonding.
What makes The Pennant even better is that it’s a completely unique local spot, not a chain restaurant. Do you have a favorite local place where you love to take your grandkids? Is it a favorite for you, too?
Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.

That sounds like a wonderful day out! I’ve never been to Kansas.
Joanne, your next trip should include Kansas. We have several beautiful sights for visitors!
Have a fun week.
All the best.
What amazing history Topeka has. Fab photos! How lovely to spend more time with your granddaughters. That looks like a brilliant lunch date.
Hi, Kim. We did have fun. Thanks for stopping by!
All the best.
We have a few mom and pop restaurants like that, but my grands like the chains! And, I’m OK with that because any time spent with them is golden to me. They’re all in high school (one is even a senior), so their lives are very busy. I’m trying to get in a shopping trip with each of them before they start back to school next week (for two of them) and a couple of weeks (for one of them). Love the nails, BTW!

Brynlee is my girlie, girl! She wears this hair cap and eye shades both silky. She cracks me up. She has long hair and does not want her hair to tangle up at night. She also sleeps with a night light. I asked her why she needed the eye shades, blind-folds. She said she doesn’t want the light to bother her. I mentioned to turn off the night light. She wouldn’t. She’s afraid of the dark! 🤣
The pennant looks live a great place to visit! The food looks yummy!
My lunch was very good!
