It is that time of the year — family vacation time! As much as we would all love to plan a lavish vacation, we know that it not reality — and not within the budget! One thing you can do is look closer to home. Where can you drive with your family to get away? Here in Kansas City, there are some destinations such as Branson, St. Louis and Omaha! I’ve been to Omaha a few times and it is a great city – with so much to see and do!
There is so much to see and do in Omaha – which is why you should check out Omaha Adventure. I love the way that this site makes it so simple for you to plan your trip! You can click the Build Your Personal Trip Itinerary before you leave and plan out everything you want to see and do while you are there. Nothing is worse than forgetting to make a visit to a location – and this can help you remember everything you want to see and do during your trip.
There is just so much you can do there. Here are some of the things we plan on doing this summer:
Omaha Children’s Museum
Omaha Zoo
Amazing Pizza Machine (what fun is lunch if you can’t have fun)
You will want to check out Omaha Adventure to find out how to save on the things you want to do, including your hotel visit. And who knows – maybe we’ll see you there!

Five (5) readers will receive an Omaha Coupon Booklet (to save on destinations)
