Here we are in Omaha

We could not find a single RV campground anywhere near where we were. We stopped and asked a guy at a tiny little gas station and as friendly as we was, he directed us to a trailer park. Nope, can't get in there. We asked another employee from a diferent gas station thinking perhaps they would know. No such luck. Bill asked them if they knew of any cheap hotels. it just so happened that they had a bunch of coupons for a Days Inn so we got one of those and headed off to the Days Inn.

We weren't looking forward to how much that would cost, rooms for 7 people but, they had a room that had 2 bunk beds in it. The bottom bunks on both were queen size beds and the top bunks were singles. Definitly enough room for us and it only cost us $40.

Well, it was now 9 pm (10 their time) and we still hadn't had anything to eat so Bill ordered pizza from Dominos and they all sang Happy Birthday to me. The lights went out and we crashed. Bright and early the next morning we packed up, ate an apple for breakfast and headed off to the zoo.

Hallie was really looking forward to it (as we all were) but, she wanted to swim with the sharks at the "pet store". Uh, no! So, our day began at 9 Am, a wonderful family excursion to the zoo. Yay!!!! I wanted to get a picture of the kids at the entrance but, they were too excited to get going when we got there and they were too tired and cranky to do it when we left. Plus a couple of them were really dirty and Aren had road rash on his face but that is another story for another blog...
