Randomness #2

We stayed in Omaha, NE last night, after spending two days at Pioneer Village in Minden, NE. That was lots of fun. I am meeting family I didn't know existed! We are off to Ames, IA to meet(and stay with) another cousin. It is so cool to find out you have family everywhere! We just stopped at the Iowa Visitors Center which also had a Historical Village. I love these oddball collections of old timey things from arrowheads to old farm equipment to ladies fashion over the years. We had lunch at a place called RUNZA which is a Nebraska tradition, which sells pocket sandwiches made from sourdough bread. Yum. We hope to have some yummy corn products while we're in Iowa, since they seem to be advertising and promoting corn all over the place.
We're still figuring out where to go next, since we decided against our impulse, which was to go north to the mall of america, purely for the A/C and the roller coaster. We'll probably drive towards Chicago.
