if you're looking for live music lawrence is it you'll find live music almost every night of the
week and you can check out venues like this one that i'm at at the bottleneck and a lot of big
names have come through here from nirvana pearl jam marilyn manson foo fighters and so many more
what an awesome tour come see what we saw
chanting and running the faces are optional activities on this 90-minute tour
of the university of kansas you can sign up for this online link in the description below to learn
more about this jayhawk experience where you'll be taken around by one of the students to all the
different athletic facilities and there are two things that really stood out to me about this tour
one is it's cool the first basketball coach at the university is the original creator of the rules
of basketball and two it's just neat to be able to go behind the scenes like in the locker room which
surprisingly did not smell wow and if you're thinking christine i kind of want something that's
more relaxing than this oh check this one out that was freaking awesome like really really awesome
there's a lot to explore walking around downtown lawrence and on this walk this is what i found i
feel a little tired lately and i'm excited to get a little bit rejuvenated with a massage of
booty trees make sure you check the info in the description below
because right now they have a special for a one hour massage for 50 do i recommend it
there's kind of a lot of things to discover but here's what janine had to say it was such
a walkable city the downtown area super walkable lots of cute shops boutiques bookstores uh
coffee shops and i'm you all know i'm not a shopper and i was totally shopping i thought
there were some really awesome boutiques my favorite was eccentricity morgan was awesome
and i actually got a couple things if you're having some fun with me in this video cheers
that like button consider subscribing tell me in the comments below if you've ever considered
coming here and let me share with you something you might not know about this spot which is
there's a whole team of people who are ready to help you figure out what you want to do here make
your first stop the lawrence visitor center when you come to lawrence which is where i
plan on spending more time because i'm coming back if you have suggestions on things to do
tell me in the comments below but let's talk about two more things starting with candles
this is actually a really cool business because it's family owned and everybody
in the family is involved in it we got mom dad brother and sister and this morning we've been
making candles and it's something that smells pretty good and one thing that
i think is really fun is when you're picking your color and you're picking your fragrance
it's not the fragrances that you would expect they're actually sometimes musky sometimes sexy
and then you come back to the workshop and writer will take you through creating your candle and
we got something a little bit extra special today you can see dad over here he's dipping the candles
let's talk about food what was your favorite thing to eat oh i loved um rpg they're on mass
and i think it's like a great spot for anybody right like you go for date night you could go with
your friends family lots of food lots of drink options cauliflower so good i was telling betsy
and megan please never take this off the menu but here's one way you know the food is good so before
we walked in i told everyone that i was going to crush everyone in whatever game we were playing
because when they opened they had a thousand games now they have over 1300 games but we never ended
up playing a game no because we were so into the food and we were just eating and talking and then
the whole night went by and we didn't play a game but you should go there and play a game
and when you do come by they also have a membership program where you can bring the
games home and swap them out and there might be a room downstairs called the board room get it
start your day off right at the roost this is the spot no reservations but it's a place to
get breakfast and not just any breakfast a good breakfast whether you're looking for craft coffee
or you're looking for a great bloody mary or other cocktails but really fantastic food and
shout out to courtney the mayor for giving me the exact order to get because it was awesome
it's reality out here where can you find some really good sunset views some bites to eat
and a place to stay come check out the oreo
located a short drive away from downtown lawrence you can find the oread and its castle-like vibes
closer to ku it's a place where you can book a room and stay for a few nights especially if
you're enjoying the athletics at the university or take it all the way up for those sunset views
if you like a good ghost story you might not want to miss out on the tour that they have at the
eldridge hotel this is a spot right in downtown lawrence and it's really great if you want to just
come here to have a drink at the bar or dine in the restaurant i really enjoyed our lunch
if there's one thing you can't miss it's the pretzel charcuterie board with the cheese dip
don't miss that part but i think the whole table enjoyed salads and it was a really great lunch
so that's the kid the kid says the nice man in the elevator and everybody's just
like spooked because like now it kind of kind of makes sense like
and afterwards brian took us around for a really fun tour to learn about the history
of this hotel and to tour some of the rooms which allegedly are haunted
but if you're looking to stay somewhere that's not so haunted but a really great location to
downtown lawrence then stay here i stayed at the spring hill suites a great stay that was right on
the river super convenient to downtown and super friendly staff and most importantly pet friendly
let's talk about getting around because walking around downtown lawrence is definitely a must and
is very easy but most people are renting cars so if you're trying to return to the airport
if you haven't rented a car an uber can run you fairly expensive but here's another option and the
last way to get to the airport is what i'm using today which is cortez transportation it's been
such an awesome time if you had some fun with me cheers that like button a huge
thank you to the explore lawrence team it's been a great time check the info below
for more information and i will see y'all in the next adventure ciao
