What do you like to do? What do you consider to far away? I live in the SW corner of the KC Metro area and depending on traffic, can get to any place within an hour and I don't consider that a long drive.
For some, there is the Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, Museum at Prairiefire, A Dinner Theater, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Farmers Market, Restaurants, Movie Theaters, Shopping, sex with me, etc.
You are really better thinking of, "What is there to do in Johnson County" or "What is there to do in the KC Metro area. When you expand things, there is a lot more to do and if I got out more, I could tell you about those things. LOL. Most of my experience kind of works around what my son would like to do, except when I make an appointment for a date.
