We woke up late, again, but early enough to catch the last fifteen minutes of the free breakfast provided by our hotel, the Days Inn. We ate waffles, cereal, toast, and drank orange juice. This was our second day in Omaha and we headed back to the Aquazone to by a few more Olympic Trial shirts for friends. We also managed to get one more autograph from Kaitlyn Sandeno, a gold medalist, and a former world record holder.
Once we’d finished all our shopping, we drove to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. The bridge stretches across the Missouri river, and you can stand on it, with one foot in Iowa and one foot in Nebraska at the same time.
We also saw the Louis and Clark museum. Next, we drove to Souix City, Iowa. We visited another Louis and Clark museum. This museum was larger, and had a interactive exhibit. It had talking, human-like robots, acting out Lewis, Clark, President Jefferson, and other important people.
After browsing the museum, we drove back to Omaha, watching acres and acres of green corn sway. When we finally got to the hotel, we ate Subway, and fell asleep.
