Civilized Destinations: Omaha Nebraska
By: Morgan
When I first found out that I had a business trip to Omaha I was less than excited. All I could think of was endless farms and a downtown area with more tumbleweeds than people. Even though Omaha is close to me than parts of Texas there were no direct flights from Los Angeles, making this my first connecting flight since I moved to LA!

Visit Omaha! {Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo}
By: Tanya
Last week, my family and I had the pleasure to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. We have lived in the southwest for 3 years now and we have been to the zoo just once - right when we moved here. The kids were pretty young (3 and almost 1), so they weren't really too sure about what to think with the zoo. While my kids are now 6 and almost 4, we thought we'd take them back to the zoo since they were older and would really appreciate it. We didn't tell the kids that we were going to the zoo until the morning that we arrived in to Omaha. What, like you would want to hear ‘When are we going to the zoo mom??' Huh? Huh? Huh???' for a week straight?

Things to Do with Teens in Omaha
By: Corrie Oberdin
Because I have a young son, I often focus on what to do with young kids. However, I realize that pre-teens & teenagers aren't going to jump up and down when presented with some of the options I wrote about in "Things to Do in Omaha with the Under-5 Set." After talking to several teens in our family - and dragging my 14 year old niece around town for in person feedback - I've compiled a list of places to go that should interest your teenager in Omaha should you come and visit us.
