You get in your car and go to Omaha, of course. Even if the current time is 9pm and it is a three-hour drive.
This is what we did last weekend.
We found a hotel, a dog sitter, and packed our bags. This all took about 30 minutes. Dropping off the pup ended up taking a little longer, but we were on the road before 10:45.
We arrived in Omaha at 2am.
You may not know this about me, but I am not a morning person. I like to sleep.
I knew I would be getting up early after getting very little sleep. I wasn't looking forward to that part of the deal, but I wanted to be spontaneous more than I wanted a full night of sleep. At least that is what I kept telling myself.
I woke up. I was tired. Then, we had a great day in Omaha. The zoo lived up to all the hype, and we thought it was incredibly awesome.
I even faced my fears and snapped a photo of this jellyfish.
It's true. I'm afraid of jellyfish. But this one was behind glass and it couldn't sting me.
We also couldn't help being silly in the gift shop. I'm not sure why the giraffe is shorter than the monkey. That doesn't really make sense. We probably should have thought that one out more carefully.
Since we still weren't quite ready to head home after spending the entire day at the zoo, we stopped at the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. Basically, it's a cool bridge that sits right on the Nebraska/Iowa border. So, we stood in the middle of bridge and took some fun (cheesy) photos.
And that's the story of a random, super last minute road trip to Nebraska.
