Omaha!

We took a short trip to Omaha this week to see some of my college friends and visit the zoo. This was the first night away from home for both me and Oliver since we got home from the hospital!
Oli had fun exploring the hotel room:
And of course we visited Creighton's campus. Unfortunately the big fountain in the middle of the mall was not turned on!
But we did find another (new) fountain. It is amazing how much campus has changed in the last five years, it seems like it has doubled in size! We got lost trying to find the new location of the bookstore.
We played at a park in the Old Market before dinner, and here Oliver is trying to put on his baby carrier:
And he of course loved Cali Taco! It's a small taco place about a block from the house I used to live in. Delicious tacos! Even Ian agreed that they were awesome. Oliver liked to dip his graham crackers in the cheese.
We spent Friday at the Henry Doorly Zoo.
Oliver waiting for the zoo to open:
Playing with the butterflies.
We loved the aquarium! Especially the tunnel.
Watching the alligators.
Seeing all the animals wore him out!
After the zoo we had an early dinner at Zio's (yummy pizza!) and headed home. Oliver was great throughout the whole trip and slept in the car both ways, which made it much easier! Can't wait to go back!
