being a tourist in omaha

One of my college roommates is moving from New York to Colorado and driving herself cross-country. Sunday evening she arrived in Omaha to stay with us for a couple of days, and we’ve been keeping busy since!

On Sunday:

– Ate dinner at The Dell in Dundee

– Played Rock Band at our friend Eric’s house (it was Krissy’s first time and she impressed everyone with her drum and bass skills)

On Monday (I took the day off from work):

– Ate brunch at The Garden Cafe

– Visited the Holy Family Shrine (see above photo collage)

– Walked around The Old Market and enjoyed the sun and the warm weather

– Watched hours of high definition HGTV while editing photos that we took during the day

– Played Wii (Krissy had never played Wii bowling yet still managed to kick my ass)

– Baked a chocolate cake

Unfortunately, I had to go back to work today, so Krissy is exploring the rest of Omaha on her own. One of her planned stops: Wal-Mart!
