Traveling Together - North Platte

It was time to leave Omaha and head for home. We wanted to make a few stops, so we loaded up and took off early. After an hour or so, we stopped in Lincoln so we could take a quick drive through Nebraska's capital city.

Nebraska has the most amazing clouds!!

We wanted to try some local food, so we stopped at a Runza for lunch. It was fun for different and very reasonably priced.

Then it was back on the road. Nebraska is SO flat! So much corn!

We rolled into North Platte and checked into our hotel. Curly wanted to visit the Cody Fort, so that was our first stop. They had tons of souvenirs and a little display of the first Wild West show. It was pretty cool.

After we spent a bunch of money, we headed over to Cody Park to see the trains they have on display. Did I ever mention that my sweetie loves trains...?

After the trains, we decided to drive around the park. It was huge! They even had a tiny amusement park. Curly bought us 4 tickets for $2 for the carousel, and he gave away 2 of them to a couple of little kids hanging out with their grandparents.

We bought ice cream and walked around a bit, then we drove over to the baseball fields. Curly was certain that he could hit one over the fence.

He didn't quite make it, but he was close. We finally left the fields as it was getting dark. There was a Ruby Tuesday near our hotel, so we grabbed dinner. Then Curly and I went swimming.

He had a little ball with him so we played a silly game of volleyball. It was so much fun!

More North Platte tomorrow.
