Mom, Shawn, Misty, Keith, Sebbie, Nate and I went took a family trip to Omaha over the weekend, where we stayed downtown near the Old Market area and spent Sunday at the Henry Doorly Zoo. It had been over 14 years ago when I had last been to the zoo and being disappointed with the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, I was looking forward to the trip.
I mean, come on, Blank Park doesn't even have bears.
It took a good 5 or 6 hours to go through the zoo, and that was talking it fairly fast. We saw the Imax Kilimanjaro movie (note to self, add climbing Kilimanjaro onto life's todo list), visited the air conditioned desert dome, walked through the rainforest area, watched some gorillas, went through the aquarium, and much more stuff as well.
I'll have more later when I get my photos up.
