We're all excited when that vacation rolls around. It may be a yearly thing, a bi-yearly, or something that doesn't happen nearly as frequent as we'd like, but when it does, there is always some level of excitment. That chance to get away from the daily grind of the realities that are our lives whether good or bad is always accepted with open arms. . . at least by this excited traveler they are!

Lincoln Nebraska
A surprising city that I've never given much thought to other than it's the half way point to Minnesota/Wisconsin from Colorado. We decided to go exploring this city of well over a million people starting with the state Capitol, an impressive tower taller than any building near it, making it stand out against the sky line.

We also found a sunken garden in the city which was beautiful but we were not able to stop to enjoy it.

The pizza joint we found was nothing to write home about, but then again, nothing is as good as Twin Cities pizza!
Our room at the Hampton is just as great as the one we had in Pinedale WY, with it's marble counter tops, complete with wet bars for all our cooler items. Great desk area, down comforters, feather pillows, fantastically large all stone tile bathrooms and showers, full free breakfast, full workout room. . . We're diggin' this place!
So right now, we're sitting on the couch, absorbed in watching a little TV before we call it a night. One more day until we get home and I have to say I look forward to it, to seeing my son, mt daughter, my "pup-a-link" Ozzy. And I look forward to getting back into our daily routine, the routine that is our life.
