I must admit: I felt a little guilty playing tourist in Omaha while our hosts were off making a buck. But I guess there have been plenty of times in our collective lives when I've been the one working and the other two have been playing (Consider the cleaning of a wedding reception site while the aforementioned two were jetting their way to a honeymoon).
So, I got over my guilt fairly quickly.
But then it recurred when we visited Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Jill has loved zoos and aquariums since she was a little girl. This place had both. Thankfully, Jill & Eric had already made a visit to the zoo, so at least I wasn't seeing it first.
The gorillas were a favorite stop. This one looked like "The Thinker" as he chomped his breakfast.

But my favorite place was the Butterfly and Insect Pavilion. Randy had to find a place to sit while I looked for butterflies who weren't just hanging out by the windows.

I also captured a hummingbird at the pavilion. OK, I didn't really "capture" it, but I thought it was pretty good to get this guy on "film." They are fast!

Our friend gives it two big ears up.
