Anniversary

This last weekend Micah and I spent some time together to celebrate our anniversary. it wasn't actually our anniversary but it was the only weekend that would work to get some time away just us. it ended up being a great weekend. Micah on thursday and friday made up some drill in lincoln and we stayed the night with my brother and sister in law. on friday micah was done around 12:30 with drill so we thought we might as well make our way to omaha. the short 40 something miles ended up taking forever because they decided to shut down the interstate and take all 3 lanes and make them all get off at one exit so traffic was back up for miles and it took almost 2 hours to get to omaha. o well once we got to town we stayed in a hotel that look like a old fort or castle it was kinda fun.
omaha has a fun little section downtown that has a bunch of restaurants and cool stores, called the old market so we walked around there and found an awesome leather shop and candy store. then we went out to eat at a place that has pool and brews their own root beer so micah was happy it was a very nice place. we found a huge movie theater close to our hotel and saw monsters vs aliens in 3d becuase the other one we wanted to see was sold out but it was really funny. all in all it was a great eveningthe next morning we went to the Henry Dorrly zoo. we talked to a bunch of the zoo keepers and got the inside scoop about some of the animals and the gorillas were really active chasing and hitting each other. it was entertaining and one even came up and hit the bubble window we were in.
