Trip Highlights
In September of 2016, we took a long weekend and visited Omaha, Nebraska. While it's only a few hours away from our home, it provided a nice get away from the stress of our daily lives. We stayed in the downtown area near the river and walked to one of the bridges over the Missouri River the first evening.

As we always do in Omaha, we visited the Henry Doorly Zoo.
The gibbons were resting in the Lied Jungle
Getting the eye from a green basilisk
A bearded saki was prowling the tree tops
Tiger cubs and their mother
A white tiger peeks out of a cave structure
The polar bear maximizes surface area on the cool rocks
The lions look out over their domain
Giraffes of different ages watch the train go by
The jellyfish seem to just be floating
A napoleon fish lazily swims by
The weather on the third day was rainy, but we still enjoyed visiting the Lauritzen Gardens.
Water doplets hanging from small crabapples
The water flowing down into the pond mixed with the sound of the rain
