Civilized Destinations: Omaha Nebraska

Feb 17, 2012 by Civilized Travel

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}

Aug 15, 2011 by Mommy Goggles

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?
