I needed to go to Omaha for some project work over the weekend and Monday.  Vince said he would come with, so we rented a car and headed down.  We enjoyed visiting some of the places that are still there 28 years after we first visited them together.  We ate dinner in the Old Market at Spaghetti Works where we enjoyed our very first date before heading to a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concert.  

On Sunday we went to Bellevue to see the apartments and the area we had first made our home while in the service at Offutt AFB.  I also wanted to see the church where we were married, which is only 3 blocks from where we were first living.  We went in to see the chapel and it looks the same as it did in 1981.  Here is a picture of the church , St James United Methodist Church.

We also enjoyed seeing how Omaha has grown since we left in early 1983.  We discovered a new favorite restaurant, Upstream Brewery, and enjoyed the Durham Museum in the Omaha Union Station.  It is fun to visit someplace where we have so much history and yet discover new treasures. 

It is nice to be home again in Minnesota as always!
