After six riveting hours of driving through Southern Minnesota, Iowa, and part of the promised land (Nebraska), we arrived at our hotel in Downtown Omaha.  I use the term “downtown” loosely as there was only one sky scraper in the vast metropolis.  After settling in we decided to hit the town to find something to fill our stomachs.  Shortly after we set out, we found a little sports bar which had a Hawaiian pizza that can’t be described as anything but amazing.  With full bellies, we hit the streets once again and wandered into a beautiful area referred to as the “Old Market” portion of Omaha.  The scene in the “Old Market”  area reminded us very much of Uptown in Minneapolis but it was much more pedestrian friendly.  If you are ever in Omaha it is definitely a must see for its old west style and funky restaurants.

The next day I set out on a photo taking  journey and ended up at the newly constructed Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.  A massive curving structure, this bridge will bring pleasure to your eyes as it suspends itself over the Missouri River.   After taking way too many photos of the bridge, I headed back towards downtown to visit the Heartland of America park.  Even though the name of the park made me want to gag myself, it turned out to be a beautiful park with a fountain which sprayed higher than the height of most buildings in the Corn Husker state.

The final destination of our trip was the Omaha Fashion Week runway show which we had came for.  It was of course in the culture rich area of Old Market which fit it perfectly.  Over 3000 people flooded the streets as models showed off outfits from 15 different designers.  The styles that were displayed varied more than a graph of our economy which made for an excellent show.  The show was ran incredibly well, and I tip my hat to the organizers.  Well, I must say that I truly enjoyed my time in Omaha even though I was definitely ready go home after 3 days.
