Pilot and co-pilot.
In our case co-piloting involves reminding the other person not to fall asleep at the wheel. Otherwise it's just east, east, east...
And here's Nebraska. We went through longitudinally. Just so you know, that's not the shortest way through the state.
Occasionally we stop, wake the kids and force them and ourselves out of the car so that none of us develop DVTs.
But mostly we just drive. And drive. And drive. And remind ourselves that we did want to do this, right? Oh yes. But probably we should have brought more CDs along.
Ultimate destination: Omaha. That is to say, Amato's in Omaha. Yeah, there's a story there.
After the dearth of interesting dining possibilities in Wyoming, we were happy to discover a plethora of choices in Omaha of all unexpected places. We settled on Amato's, based on Guy Fieri's feature on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and the fact that the owner makes, not only his own sausage but also his own ricotta cheese on site. Drool. Since we arrived early in the evening, we were the only guests in the restaurant so we got to sit down with Sam Amato who shared his photo album and stories about shooting the piece for the show. Tomorrow morning we go back for the ricotta pancakes!
In the meantime we go back to the hotel and swim in their awesome indoor pool (necessary when it's 15 degrees outside).
Also, they had a washer and dryer (necessary when you've been living out of a suitcase for six days).
