Omaha, NE '08



This growing riverfront city has many attractions to offer. Our group toured the Old Market district which is full of fun shops, restaurants and even has different musicians and talents that perform on the sidewalks. We ate at delicious restaurants yet our favorite was our visit to Dave and Buster's, which is more than a restaurant, it is like a huge arcade for adults. We all played numerous interactive video games and had a blast trying all the different games it had to offer. Our group also went for a cool sight-seeing boat ride on the Missouri River which overlooked the city. Then we toured the historic Joslyn Castle which is an old world century castle. The house was amazing and the grounds were even better with beautiful gardens and greenery. The group's favorite part of our vacation was visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo which has over 972 different species on display. Everyone got a kick out of the monkey exhibits and loved watching them swing around. We were always on the go but found time to relax at our hotel and spent some time in the pool and hot tub. Everyone had a blast!
