By now we are use to packing up for weekend trips after the tour of the Midwest! This weekend we headed west to Omaha to enjoy the annual rivalry game of Iowa State & Iowa with Megan and Brian. The game was an embarrassment but the food and company was wonderful! In writing this blog I'm starting to think we eat too much and that I need to dedicate more time to stay on top of things!
After an embarrassing loss to Iowa and a depressing loss for the fighting Irish we set off for some wonderful sushi at
Blu. Blu is my favorite sushi place yet - great atmosphere and amazing sushi! We were all exhausted and somehow managed to make it to bed early (which didn't bother me one bit).
The whole reason why we were in Omaha was to join my brother Ben, sister-in-law Kayla, nephew Bradey, niece Gracey, mom, sister Nicole, aunt Pegi, cousin Kristine and sister Brenda at the
O'Henry Zoo to celebrate Brenda's 23rd birthday. The last time I'd been to the O'Henry Zoo was in college to visit the Lied Jungle. We had a great time and visited everything the zoo had to offer in the five hours we spent there. I was exhausted so I can only imagine how exhausted the little ones but they were troopers and didn't drop until the rest of us dropped.
