If you have followed Kansas City Mamas for any length of time, you know that I’m a born and bred Nebraska Girl. (In fact, someone in one of the reader surveys accused me of actually living in Nebraska instead of Kansas City.)
Well, in addition to loving my home state, I’m also a money appreciator who loves getting the biggest bang for her buck!
And that is why I’ve been so blessed to be a partner with VisitOmaha.com since Kansas City Mamas began several years ago…I truly believe that Omaha provides the best bang for your buck for an extended weekend getaway.
In addition to the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium (which is always amazing to see), I’m super excited about a new attraction at The Durham Museum feature “Women Who Rock” which will be on display till May 5, 2013.
So if you don’t have Spring Break plans yet, seriously consider jumping in the car and taking the short three-hour drive to Omaha to enjoy a little rest/relaxation and see some premiere Midwest attractions.
And because VisitOmaha.com wants someone to enjoy a little Spring Break – they are giving away the following prize pack to one lucky KCM reader winner.

I have never been to Omaha, however me and my son were just talking about spring break last night and trying to figure out where we could afford to go for a few days over spring break and Omaha was where I had suggested.
The Zoo is great and my kids really enjoyed the Children’s Museum.

I love the zoo! It’s so big that you can see everything the first day so the next time you go back it can be a different adventure for the kids!
Have never been but would love to go!
I went to a U2 concert there. I stayed at the double tree downtown. I went as an undergrad and went to the joselyn museum to look at the lichtenstein. They have a nice baseball park there and I walked around but there was no world series of baseball going on. They also have casinos. I like looking at the original nebraska furniture mart. My favorite thing is smelling the campbells soup factory downtown. I have eaten at a cajun place and also taken a boat ride in the downtown area. I have also toured boys town and the chapel there. I got a free ride to creighton but even with free tuiton there was no way I could afford that place.
I have never stayed at a hotel in Omaha that wasn’t with a coupon or from Priceline. They have pretty good hotels from priceline. So if you are going up there, use priceline.
Old Straw Market is one of my favorite things in Omaha 🙂

The zoo of course, but truly? Ecreamery. Have you tried the blood orange sorbetto? OMG to die for! Truly. The shark tank with the pretzels is ok. DH liked the mint chocolate, but the blood orange sorbetto was what came home in the cooler.
