Omaha Nebraska trip

Hello there.  I take a break now and then just because I need to get away from the social media and the blogging.  This time I was away because we flew to Omaha to have a long overdue visit with our son and family.

When I retired almost two years ago the plan was to tour the country ni the RV.  Stop in Omaha or nearby to have a visit.  Then Covid hit and everything shut down.  That made it three years since we'd visited our son.  Way too long.

We stayed at a very nice place called the Farnam hotel and it was worth every penny.

It had been years since we'd been in a large city and I can tell you, we didn't see but a very small part of it but that part was a blast.

We hadn't seen our granddaughter since she was four so there was a big change interacting with this charming  seven year old. It was fun getting to pick her up at school, playing school with her at her home, eating dinner and all of it.

Dinner at the restaurant was a treat and we saw one of favorite "bad guys" (Wynn Duffy) from the TV show Justified - Jere Burns! We saw him at the bar earlier and I remarked that he looked like Wynn Duffy.  At dinner his table was next to ours so there were just us two parties seated near one another - and he was soooo nice!

Doug's end of the table was next to Jere Burns and so he knew before I did that he'd bought us dessert.  Our waiter came down to my end of the table and said the gentleman at the next table would like to buy us dessert and I asked, that kind of thing happens?  That's the stuff I read about or see in a movie, haha

Anyway, he's a nice man and introduced us to his daughter and spoke to us a bit.

Here's the family gathered after dinner. Tristan has a nice girlfriend and she's such a great mom to Lizzie.

And here's one more photo of Liz getting ready to dance with me before dinner. She's almost as tall as I am!

I did not get any photos of the dinner as I left my phone in the room.  On purpose.  I just wanted a nice night of conversation with the kids as it was our last evening.  But, if you want to see some dynamite food (pun intended) check out the menu of Dynamite Woodfire Grill HERE. I am hoping to replicate the recipe for the heirloom carrots they were so incredibly good. Oh, the desserts are true work of art. As delicious as they are pretty.

There are loads more photos but I'll post more later.
