Two Days in Omaha

This morning we rode into Omaha and had an arrival and luncheon at the Saturn dealership. After the great lunch we rode on through the city to our lodging at a church. We spent most of the afternoon running errands and resting up for the second half of our trip. In the evening we were hosted for fajita dinner by Ben Kramer's uncle. A few of us had a great time playing Boche Ball in the backyard after dinner. For evening entertainment we went to a place called Dave and Busters, its basically the same thing as ESPN Zone but with more emphasis on the arcade games. The next morning on our day off we actually got to sleep in a bit and woke up at 9AM. Scott Campbell and I went golfing down the street at a sweet par-3 course and had a great time with that despite the HORRIBLE humidity. We had a sponsored lunch at Outback and more relax time in the afternoon to escape the heat. Around 3PM or so a huge thunderhead moved in and dropped a lot of rain on the city which had an impact on the evening's friendship visit. We went to a local community center and had a dinner/dance/swimming party with nearly 100 people in attendance. The event was a hit as you can tell by all the swimmers at left. I had a good time hanging out with Joey, a teenager with Down's Syndrome. He was very interested in some of the girls who worked at the center but wouldn't ask them to come and dance. Finally he talked me into asking the girls to hang out with him and that absolutely made his night! The two days in Omaha were both very relaxed. While the team thoroughly enjoys all the programming we get to do it was great to have a day of R&R.
