Omaha Trip .....

We went on a mini vacation to Omaha for a few days before the boys went back to school.  Our first stop was a fantastic little coffee shop on main street in Platte City, followed by a stop at a Lewis & Clark Museum near the Missouri/Iowa border.  We ate at some fantastic restaurants, visited the zoo, went to the Children's Museum, visited the pedestrian bridge, went bowling, saw a movie and of course spent a lot of time at the hotel pool!  It was great to get away and spend time together for a few days!
