and what a day it turned out to be! We actually got off on time. Our first stop was the Fort Cody Trading Post. THAT WAS FUN! They had these huge whips. (ment for bulls or something (hopefully)). that we (I) got in trouble for craking. But other than that there was not alot to do there but shop and spend our fod money.
Our second stop was supposed to be the archway over I-80, but it turned out to be MEGA LAME! it was ten bucks a person to ride up a escalator and come back down one five feet away. WOW! ummmm yeah. no THANKS. and the actualy walking over the interstate part was blocked off, and basically just for show. It was also VERY HARD to find, and would have been impossible had it not been for our GPS. However, if you really need to pee, or find yourself lost and end up there, There was like 7 toilets in the girls room (all occupied (of course))
Boxers
. In my opinion, the coolest part about that whole experience ,besides the fact that I now get to point up at it and say I have been there, were the silver pegasus's (pegasi? hm..) on top of the structure. Those you can see from the road, as you drive by.Third Stop.
Omaha Drive through Safari. THAT WAS A BLAST! I got some really amazing pictures. and we saw a black bear and a she wolf in person (we had to get out of the car to get to their cages (AW! they are caged!)). They were less that five feet away and there wasn't even a fence between us. They were beautiful. We all had our camera's out and were clicking away. We also saw white tailed deer, um 3 different kinds of owls, fluffaloos (buffalo's),Turtles, Geese, Swans, Elk, and TRACTORS. Catlyn had fun making her first video of the trip about halfway through so that the rest of the family can watch it and feel like they were there. Unfortunatly for everyone, Sam and I were so bored and ADD from being in the car all day that every time we went over a bridge were went AAAAAA! and our voices jumped because of the planks. Fun times....
So when we finally got here to the hotel we all RAN(!) to our bathroom. Oncethat was out of the way, us teenage girls changed into our swimsuits and went swimming till annoying people came and took up all the space and we (I) got cold, while mom stayed in the room and had fun with her computer. When we got back, once again, we all raced to our little bathroom (1 at a time) and changed into dry pjs and walked over to McDonalds for diner.
Now we are back here at the room its 9:42 (8:42 back home) and we are taking showers, bloging, eating, watching Burn Notice, and SLEEPING.
We have a busy day ahead of us. We are getting up at 5 (4 there) so NIGHT!...well shower time....THEN NIGHT!
