After checking into our hotel which was in our old neighborhood we hopped back in the car and drove over to Village Green. It was WEIRD and fun to go back and see the old neighborhood. So many great memories. Ours was the 2nd one on the far end. We hit up the playground and then drove to find dinner. It was really surreal driving around our old town.
In the morning we headed to the place we passed so much of our time during med school (well not Rob, but me and the kids): The Henry Doorly Zoo. Best zoo in the country. It was soooo fun to show the kids around. Lucy had a few vague memories but for the most part it was all new to them.
The Lied Jungle:
The Aquarium:
The Desert Dome:
Gorilla Valley:
Good ol' Ak-Sar-Ben: It was definitely a steamy hot day and we appreciated the misters:
Lucy's "Miracle Playground":
The swarming koi were as disgusting as ever:
A cool glass of ice water was much appreciated:
Hooray for Omaha, our old home!

So fun! Remember when i stayed with you? And we ate ice cream and watched lightning? And when i ate ice cream out of the freezer? And I love the Omaha zoo!!!! Lots of happy memories, even for me. But I wish you had taken more animal pictures.
I always thought it was a great place. Looks like it still is.

Fun to see some of these places again -- some of the zoo, I don't remember. Who'd have believed Omaha was such a great place to live!
