Monday (6/22)  We went to the Harry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.   This zoo was recommended by 1,000 Places and AAA as a gem.   Well they were right it is a world class zoo.   We were there about four and one-half hours and easily could have spent another 2 hours if it had not been for the 99 degree heat.   They have a Desert Dome and Kingdoms of the Night building that cost $33 millions dollars to build and has three desert climates in it as well as an exhibit of nocturnal animals in its lower level.   This is just one of the exhibit buildings and it was fabulous.   We also spent a fair amount of time in the Scott Aquarium which was very interesting.   The remainder of the zoo was also nice but outdoors - guess what - too hot to spend too much time viewing it.  

This zoo is right next to the Rosenblatt Stadium where the first game of the final series for the Men's College World Series is being held this evening.   So, not only was there a zoo in the zoo, there was a zoo outside of it.  LSU is play a Texas team and we have to say, the LSU fans outnumber the Texas fans about 10 to one.

We went into the city to see the birthplace of President Gerald Ford.   The home is no longer there but  model of it is and there are beautiful gardens that you can walk in.  

We then visited an Apple Store to see if my picture problem could be resolved.  Guess what - it worked perfectly in the store - isn't that enough to make you scream!!!   Hopefully, I will be able to post pictures from now on - keep your fingers crossed!!!

  1. Hey Y'all...

    Have you considered burning your pictures on a CD or two? It would free up a lot of space on you hard drive...just a thought. Becky and her husband went to the College World Series a few years ago and she said, "GO!" if you can.

    Have fun and travel safely! Sharon
