Omaha Vacation

We decided to get away for the weekend and head off to Omaha. Don's parents were glad to join us too, which we were glad that they did! The trip went A LOT better than last year, James slept half the way there this year and than watched his DVDs the rest of the way!!

We took James to the Children's Museum, which I think that he remembered from last year, had a blast there! They have like a play Food Market so the little kids can shop like mommy & daddy for food, with little mini shopping carts and all! It is pretty much like a adult life, but child size :) Than we were off to the Durham Museum, which had TRAINS!!! James had been obsessed with trains for a couple of months now and he freaked out when he saw real trains there. After the Durham, we headed back to the hotel which we stayed at the Hilton Inn downtown, which was nice since all the places we went to were downtown. Jo & I headed out to find the Old Market, while the boys relaxed at the hotel. The Old Market was a HUGE disappointment, don't waste your time if you are ever in the Omaha area!! It is just pretty much bars and restaurants.  Than when we got back we headed out the Cabelas, which was James' breaking point. We didn't stay long, James fell asleep on the way back to the hotel and slept till about 7:30, we thought that he might sleep through the night , but not so lucky. He pretty much woke up long enough to eat some pizza we had ordered and watch a Bob the Builder DVD than he was out till about 6 in the morning. Sunday morning we took off for the Zoo!! We always try to be there when it opens in the morning to beat the crowd, so than we are leaving the Zoo just as it is getting really busy. James liked all the animals except for the Gorillas, he FREAKED out!! It broke my heart. From that point on James was ok with the animals until they moved than he was freaked. We did make it through more of the Zoo than last year, so maybe by next year we will be able to see all of it in one visit :)
