There’s some things you just can’t replicate in other states, no matter how hard you look. Sometimes it’s just a certain smell or sound you associate with Kansas, but once you come home, all of those things come rushing back at you. Once you finally come home from whatever trip you may have taken, Kansas is here to give you a hug, and make you remember why you love coming home. These are some things Kansas do every time they come home after a trip away. How many have happened to you?

Kansas home cooking smells are fragrant and delicious, but only half as good as what the food tastes like. You'll just have to stop and get some!
3. You actually might need that jacket now.

Kansas often gets pretty cold at night, unless of course it's summer. Then the heat is almost never ending and seems to never let up.
4. Seeing the stars at night isn't hard anymore.

Often we travel to bigger cities and places where you don't get such wide open views of the stars as you do here.
5. You'll be able to see much farther.

Just like with the stars, you'll have spacious skies that go on forever.
