Nebraska

We unexpectedly rested for three full days before any more traveling. This was good, because we could relax and see Kansas City. It was bad, because we still didn't really sleep. So when we finally decided to go to Omaha, Nebraska, at four in the morning, after realizing that we weren't going to be able to sleep, it was insane. We were exhausted.

Omaha Zoo. The zoo was the main attraction for this leg of the trip. Everyone we talked to about Omaha said that we had go. We went as soon as they opened, so that we could have enough time to drive all the way back to Oklahoma City. They had some really neat exhibits. Despite my constant desire to sleep, I really enjoyed the animals. Some of the highlights were the penguins, the bears, and the aquarium. There isn't too much to say about it. To be honest, I was unimpressed. The hype built up around this zoo seemed silly once we had seen it for ourselves. The OKC Zoo is just as cool, and I can now appreciate it even more than before. 

When it started to get hot out and we had seen everything we wanted to, we left the zoo to get some lunch. We were told that the Old Market was the area to be. So, we found a nice restaurant called Zio's Pizzeria. The pizza was really good, but it was difficult not to think about sleeping. Shelby and Jordan dragged Patrick and I around the shops. There were some neat stores, but I wasn't really in the mood to enjoy them. We ended our Omaha day trip at Ted & Wally's Ice Cream. This place was really awesome. They made the ice cream right in front of you, and they had good flavors. It was good to enjoy these last few moments together before the long drive home and the switch back to reality after a week of fun.
