re: For people who have been to Omaha, what else is there to do?

In addition to what has been posted already by others, I found visiting Boys Town Village, home to approximately 400 Boys and Girls in Omaha interesting. It will give your children an idea of what less fortunate kids are faced with. Thankfully times have changed to where the children there get housed in suburban type homes with trained married coupes providing family style care versus the old dormitory style housing. Boys Town Village has its own fire dept and post office, and other vocational opportunities for the children living there to get work experiences.

Lincoln, Nebraska is only about 55 miles away and home to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers and the state capitol. During the Bertman CWS years we visited the university and with their stadium gates wide open and with no one around we were able to walk right onto the 50 yard line center field of the stadium. I doubt that security remains that lax in this era. Their state capitol building in Lincoln is a similar skyscraper style building like the La. Capitol Bldg. Biggest surprise was that their legislature is a uncameral one - a single body vs the traditional representative and senate bodies.

Don't miss dinning in some of the good steak restaurants in Omaha!

If you have a rental car you can drive down to Lincoln for a day too.

Buy as many Jell-O shots as you can afford, drink them all, and sleep when the tigahs are not playing. lol
