Weekend in Omaha

This weekend, we drove up to Omaha to see our friend Dave. The drive was nice and we had a great time with him. We got there very late Friday, so we visited for a while and then rested up for the big day. We started Saturday off at the zoo (see next post), shopped, watched Big Brown lose and then set off for dinner. We had supper at the Melting Pot. If you don't know, it's a fondue place. I've heard of it, but never been. It was sooo good (and you all know how much I love fondue). We got the four course meal which consists of cheese fondue, salad, meat and veggie fondue and dessert fondue.
This picture hardly does it justice. Even L got into fonduing. She loved to stick her fondue stick in the pot and get something cooked out. We were stuffed when it was over.
We walked off our dinner by going shopping at Village Point. The boys checked out the Apple Store, while I shopped at Archiver's.
On Sunday, it rained (in fact there was an F2 tornado in the middle of the night Sat which we didn't hear). So we went to Dave's office at the Omaha World Herald. And then we went to Old Market. It's like Old Town in Ta-town, except much cooler.
Jeff and L pose for a picture in Old Market. We went for a carriage ride. Pretty cool. We had so much fun seeing Omaha and hanging out with Dave. We'll be back there again soon.

LOVE The Melting Pot. We've been several times in Dallas, and you're right -- you get so stuffed it hurts. Glad to see photographic evidence that Dave is still alive.

I love the Melting Pot, too. I have two siblings that got engaged at the restaurant, one in Dallas and the other in Philly. It's delicious and romantic.
