Omaha

Early Sunday morning (4 AM) we left Denver to start our 8 hour drive to Omaha.  We stopped for a few good meals and a lot more potty breaks, and (with the time chance) checked into the hotel around 2:30 PM.  For dinner, we met Phillip at Chuck E Cheese.

On Monday, we went to Bass Pro Shop (right next to our hotel)  It was surprisingly quite fun!  They had large waterfalls, taxidermy bears and elk, a laser shooting range, toys, 4 wheelers, boats you can walk into, etc.  We probably spent about 3 hours playing around the store.  We initially wanted to go to the zoo, but the threat of rain (and an early morning thunder storm) kept us away.

Phillip suggested a good burger place called Sinful Burger.  I took a photo of the menu options below.  The burger was great, but the most exciting part was that with $1.50 worth of tries, Brady used the claw machine to get this stuffed animal all by himself?!?!  I know this won't be one for his college resume, but it's an accomplishment I'm still proud of.

Phillip gave us a good little tour of the Air Force Base.  It was good to see where he spends his time, and we even got to walk inside one of the planes!  After dinner, we took the kids swimming in the hotel's indoor pool.  The kids and I are wiped out, and in 4 hours, I'll wake up to shower, start packing and get on the road for another 6 hour drive.
