Omaha or Bust

With us having two little kids, and with Meghan being pregnant, it wasn't going to be feasible for us to go on a large-scale vacation this year.  But we still wanted to go somewhere, so we decided on a small trip to Omaha.  I took today off of work, and after lunch we packed the kids in the car and started the drive up north.  We took a couple breaks at rest stops to feed the kids and give them a chance to stretch their legs, but by dinnertime we had arrived at our hotel, the Homewood Suites.  We'd stayed at a Homewood Suites in Wichita for Clara's adoption finalization, and we really liked it, most importantly because we could get a two-room suite, which is pretty important for us with two kids.  When it was time to eat, we waited in the lobby of the hotel for the shuttle to take us to the Old Market area of downtown Omaha where we ate at a fun restaurant called Spaghetti Works, which was very kid-friendly and had a wide variety of options for food.  Later, we walked from our hotel to a nearby Red Mango to get some self-serve frozen yogurt as a tasty treat at the end of the night.  We're excited about a fun weekend, and it's already off to a great start.
