Girls weekend!

Somehow we decided that a sisters girl weekend was needed, after many talks, plans, changes we decided on Omaha, its close and fun!

We left DSM about 4 and got back into town about 6, got settled, got pretty and headed out for dinner at Plank. We had the perfect waiter, Jared. He was a little like Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory but SO sarcastic and funny! Two of the best things he told us was that there was a 'healthy amount of crazy' at our table and that we were the 'perfect combo of trash and class!' I have never laughed so hard at a dinner before. Then we went to a couple other random bars, had some drinks and somehow ended up at Whiskey Tango, a country dance bar....we danced, we had fun and we were out until 2 am! I am too old for that! We had a blast! So much fun and so many laughs!

The next morning was a little rough for all of us. We got up and had breakfast at the hotel and went back to bed until about noon...and that nap helped all of get a little pep in our step for day #2.  We went to the Stadium Club (which we had been at for a while the night before) to watch the last half of the Hawkeye game and eat some lunch.

Once the game was over we did a little shopping, checking out some of the cute shops in the Old Market and then headed back to the hotel about 5 to get ready for another night out. This night was much more laid back, which I think was fine with all of us knowing we had to actually function and go home the next day!
We had a couple drinks at the happy hour at the hotel and then did dinner at Upstream Brewery. It was so good and we were SO full!

Then we headed back to the sports bar so that Holly could watch the Ohio State game. We talked, met some people, made fun of other people and got back to the room about 10:30....definitely more my normal bedtime!
We got up the next morning and headed to Mount Crescent to go ziplining....the longest zipline in Nebraska and Iowa....1600 ft long. It was a lot of fun and I think we would all totally do it again!


Then we headed back home. We got to mom's house about 2 and got ready for the Packer game! It was a girls only game (except for Boston). The kids played SO good together and it was nice enough for them to play outside. We actually did more watching of the actual game with the boys gone....all they do is talk! :) The Pack looked rough and it was a nail-biting game....I don't like those, but they pulled it off in the end! WooHoo!
We got home a little after 7 and then started the bedtime routine. Piper actually went to bed good b/c she is fighting a cold...which is why she was up from 1:45-3 in bed with me coughing and snoring and cuddling. And I thought I would get a good night sleep being home after 2 nights away, what was I thinking?! :)
