Courtney had told us that Nebraska’s motto was: Nebraska, it’s not for everyone. And we agree. But Omaha has definitely been the highlight of the state. I had laughed about us coming to Omaha but actually, we have had a fun time here. One doesn’t think of Omaha as a destination spot but it has more to offer than one would think.
Yesterday, we went to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Museum just outside of Omaha. Randy worked on SAC airbases when he was in the service so this was of interest to him. It was a beautiful facility and had a wide range of aircraft from WWII to the 1990s. They had a B-52 and F-4, both of which Randy worked on so it was fun to have him explain what he did during that time and what he was responsible for.
We stayed in Omaha last night and tonight. Last night there was a “party in the park” right across the street from our hotel. They had a live band, food and drink. It was fun to go there and see people from this area just enjoying the evening and having a good time.
Today we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. It was a very nice (and large) zoo but very crowded as it was a nice day here and the start of Memorial Day Weekend. We did enjoy it though. It has been nice to have just a couple days of minimal travel and a chance to relax a little.
It’s on to to Iowa tomorrow and hopefully, without any weather (aka tornado) issues.
