Omaha: Somewhere in Middle America

***Updated 4/12 with pictures***
Mommy says we're in a place called Omaha, Nebraska tonight. We have been very busy since we left Fargo. The day we left Fargo we visited a very big boat and a very cold church. They didn't look like anything special to me, but Mommy said they were interesting because the boat was just like one made 1000 years ago and actually sailed to Norway, and the church is just like a church in Norway that is 1000 years old. Neither church have any nails holding them together, but I still wasn't all that impressed. My favorite part of the day was when the nice man gave me a pinwheel. When we walked, it spun around and around and it is so pretty! Mommy even propped it up so that it I can watch it when we drive with the windows down.





After we left Fargo, we drove past a lot of very flat land and then very hilly land to get to a place called Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The best part about that was that Mommy actually let me crawl around on the floor in the hotel instead of making me stay on the bed or a blanket. Daddy tried to, but Mommy said it looked clean enough that I was probably ok. I also got to sleep in my own room, which was good because I didn't keep getting woken up by Daddy's snoring!





This morning, Mommy and Daddy took me to see a big waterfall. I guess it isn't as big as the waterfall I'm going to live near, but it looked pretty big to me! My favorite part of the day was when we went to see an old boat called the Sargeant Floyd. That was not in Sioux Falls, but in a place called Sioux City, Iowa. It was a boat, but it was a museum. There were lots of old things to look at, and you could ring the bell and steer the boat. That was so much fun! I laughed and laughed the whole time we were in there. I'm not telling why, though!





Now we're in Omaha. Mommy and Daddy took me out to dinner, but all Daddy would share with me was his water. I wanted some of their steak! Mommy says we might go to a place called the Zoo tomorrow. She says there are lots of animals there and it will be like the aquarium but without any water. I liked the aquarium, so it might not be so bad. I'll let you know how that goes. Mommy wanted me to tell you all that she has now officially been to 49 states. The only place she hasn't been is a place called Hawaii. I'm not really sure what all that means, but she is pretty excited about it. There's no pictures yet because the stuff Mommy needs for that got left in Milwaukee, but she says she'll add them in when we get home. Bye for now!

Yes Jack, maybe if your mommy had let Uncle Joey know you were so close he would have driven to see you for a few hours! You'll like Uncle Joey!

Uncle Joey, you weren't that close. Mommy looked at a map and you live 9 hours from Omaha! That's as close as we were to you. But I would really like for you to come visit me in Terre Haute sometime! :)

Love,
