We left Monday morning around 7am and got to the Strategic Air Command museum west of Omaha around 1:00. Lots of military planes plus a touching memorial of 9-11. Also a Holocaust display which was, as all things Holocaust tend to be, horrifyingly interesting. Just incredible that such atrocities occurred so recently. Hard to balance the remembering with the Phil 4:8 filter. Certainly this is true, honest, and just, but it's also certainly not pure, lovely, or of good report. And yet we cannot forget the past because if we forget it there's a good chance we'll repeat it. And that is unthinkable. Anyway. On to a few peeks at the SAC museum.
Headed to the VRBO next and found it unclean bc there was a mix-up between the owner and the cleaner😖. Scrambled to find a new place which worked out fine but just weren't excited about the extra headache. Such is life.
On to supper then to find the Bob Kerry walking bridge.
Henry Doorly Zoo on Tuesday.
This crab was huge. I've never seen anything like it before. The body alone was the size of a dinner plate, diameter probably 10-15". Quite creepy although I'm well aware that God makes all things good😏
These were amazing. Again, new to me.
After the zoo, back to the Lewis & Clark visitor's center and the water park. It was hot.
Wednesday morning. To Platte River State Park. Many fond memories of this tower with a bigger crowd.

Cottonwood cabin where we stayed the other times.
Lied Platte River Walking Bridge.
On to the fish hatchery which was a sad shell of its former glory days.
Rainbow trout. The only thing we saw there except carp which took over all the other ponds.
😕
And then we headed home because east or west, home is best.
Meanwhile - this px from Echo back home😍
We got home around 8:30 and pretty much showered and headed to beds. It was a good trip, but as always was so good to get home.
