One more day

The Razorbacks did not play today. There next game is tomorrow evening. So, we decided to do some other things in Omaha. This morning we went to the Zoo because we heard it is really good. It is right next door to the stadium where the college world series is going on. It was a pretty good zoo. I don't think it was the best we have been to but it was in the top few. We did get to see a one day old sea lion which was pretty cool. After the zoo we went over to the stadium and went to the North Carolina vs. Arizona State game. We did not stay for all of it since we don't have any connection to either of the teams and did not really care who won. The razorbacks have already beat Arizona State twice this year. After we left the game we went to a local ice cream place. It is called Ecreamery. They are doing an ice cream world series where they make up a special ice cream treat for each of the teams in the CWS and the one that gets bought the most wins the ice cream world series. We saw about it on an Omaha local news station yesterday. We got the Arkansas Razorback one of course which was vanilla ice cream with butterfinger and toffee pieces with peanut butter chips and red sprinkles. It was pretty good. After that we came back to the not so Super 8 and took a nap. For dinner we went to a local seafood restaurant that was really good. Tomorrow the plan is to go to the Razorback game at 6pm and then drive home after the game. Which means we will get home between 3am-4am. We need to go to work on Tuesday so that is going to be a rough turn around. There is a good chance of rain tomorrow so if the game gets postponed even a little while we will probably have to go ahead and come on home and miss the game. So, hopefully it won't rain and we won't fall asleep at the wheel.

Local seafood in Omaha? That's a good one, Josh. I thought you were in Nebraska. Which ocean makes it all the way up there?

I am still a little bitter about your trip. Have a great time tonight!

Oh Russ, always trying to be the smart one. The restaurant was local not the seafood. Although the seafood was part of a fresh fish market store so it was really fresh fish at the restaurant.
