Recuperation Day!

Day 2 - April 7, 2009

When we arrived early Tuesday morning in Omaha, we were all tired. Sleeping on the train is okay, but not like one's own bed. We were not used to the train stopping and starting during the night. Mike hadn't really slept in two days. We were tired!

Our day...

6:00am - Arrive in Omaha

7:30am - Pick up our rental car

9:00am - Village Inn for breakfast! We were all desirous of a good meal and the hash browns were delicious!

10:30am - Drove to Winter Quarters Temple and Mormon Trails Visitor Center

12:00-1:30pm - Crisscrossing the Nebraska/Iowa border looking for a motel to stay in

1:30pm - Decision made... We'll drive south for a hour until we find a small town and stay there.

3:00pm - Check into a motel in Nebraska City, Nebraska and recuperate!

6:30pm - Alexis announces that she is BORED! I guess this means that she's had enough of recuperation.

7:00pm - Mike suggests that we take a drive around Nebraska City. We had a delightful time! This town is the home of the man who founded the National Arbor Day holiday. Nebraska City has a lot of parks and trees. We had fun at a pond watching a muskrat swim and then Lexi enjoyed playing on the playground at the park.
