THE Bucket List....

well actually it is a Nebraska Bucket List!  We were talking a couple weeks ago and how sad it is that you never really take advantage of the opportunities right in your own community.  We have lived in Omaha for 21 years and there are a number of places and attractions that we have never "done" but have always thought that we would some day.  We decided that life is clipping along at such a fast rate that if we don't make a conscience effort to "do" these things that we'll never get to them.  We sat down with a piece of paper and a pencil and started making our own bucket list.  The only rule is that it had to be within a 50 mile radius of Omaha to start out with and once we get that list completed, we will expand our area on the next list.

 The first one was the Bob Kerry bridge. The bridge to no where!   The sun went behind the clouds as soon as we started the walk so it was pretty cold and windy but I can definitely say that I would go back and walk it again when the weather is warmer.  We walked half way across the bridge just so I could get a picture of the Nebraska/Iowa line on the bridge!  I'll finish that walk on a warmer day.

2.  The IMAX theatre at the Henry Doorly Zoo

I can't believe we've never been to the IMAX with all the times we've been to the zoo but we

made our first trip and marked another thing off our Bucket List!  I have a very weak stomach....very weak!  I knew if there was any flying involved in this movie that it would be all over. This would be the end of my Bucket List!  So I strapped on the Sea Bands and off we went! 

 Luckily there was no flying involved and I was fine!  The show was awesome!  And to think that this has been here for all this time and we just now took advantage of it!  I can't wait to get through the other 22 items on our Bucket List!
