...so we took our annual family vacation - remember last year it was the flu vacation...
...but this year we took Scout out of school for a few days to visit Omaha, Nebraska - it's a big city with a spectacular zoo - and you know we need to feed our budding Marine Biologist with as many aquaria as possible...more on that later...
...Welcome to Nebraska - Omaha is a much larger city than I had imagined with an estimated population of 837,925...
...crossing the Missouri River...
...while waiting for our hotel room to be readied - we walked around downtown a bit - this area is called the Old Market - and it really doesn't feel like it's in a big city at all - very quaint - and we found this awesome park just a block from our hotel...
...there were these huge slides...
...so of course we had to try them out - but I was apparently too fast for the camera - HA! - as the only picture of me on the slide was this one of me at the end...
...Scout, however, tried them forwards...
...and backwards...such fun!...
...it was a lovely day and a lovely park...
...and we only had a short wait until my sister arrived...
Family vacations are always fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Omaha :0)
Oh I hope you show pictures of the zoo! I was there this summer and missed my opportunity to go by 1hr! So sad! I grew up going to that zoo! I wanted to badly to get back there and see how it had changed. Oh well, some other time. :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, to be with your sister.
ReplyDeleteOmaha, nearest I've been is Omaha Beach in Normandy - very moving!
Have super time - keep flu free!
Those slides look so fun! I've been to Nebraska before but never to Omaha.
ReplyDeleteOy that is a huge slide! That is so great of you all 'feeding' your marine biologist. Peace, Angela
