Omaha, Nebraska

   Our upcoming trip took us to Omaha, Nebraska. Did you know that Nebraska has a Hall of Fame with famous football players? Since we are talking about famous people, the founder of the Boys and Girls Town was born there. In addition, they also have a Lewis and Clark museum. Did you know that the Mormon Trail and the Oregon Trail both cross through Nebraska? Along with that, they have the longest foot bridge that crosses to the next state, Iowa. And did you know that the bridge is 4,200 feet long?!

    Nebraska has many exciting things to do. Omaha is home to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, which has the famous pumpkin-eating dragon. They have been blessed with movie theaters and a children’s museum. The Omaha Children’s Museum has a cool room full of balls that get sucked up through tubes that run through the room and are dumped every few minutes in the middle room.  Since they have all these fun things to do, sometimes, they just want to relax and go to football games. If they are not feeling up for football and relaxing, they can play soccer, basketball, and in the winter, they can sled. Did you know that they have these humungous slides in downtown Omaha?  They are 30 feet long and can be used in the summer and in the winter!

     Would you like some fun facts about their state? Their first fun fact would be that they produce a lot of corn.  They love corn so much that they named a sports after it, the Corn Huskers!  Second, Omaha has the been the biggest city in Nebraska with over 450,000 humans (pets not included).  Not too much in Nebraska besides corn and people, but they were very kind! 

    Would you like to know anything else? If you do, here is some more information. Nebraska is scorching in the summer and chilly in the winter. Did you know that Omaha used to be the capital? Now, the capitol is Lincoln. Omaha, Nebraska is a great place to visit, but too bad; we have to move on to the next state.
