Before we left Grand Island we toured a wonderful pioneer/prarie museum. We 
got there at 9:00 and it just started to rain, within 5 minutes it was pouring. I know I packed an umbrella but can't find it. Jonny wore my jacket (no hood, but he had a hat), and I wore his rain jacket with a hood. It's weird to have it rain so hard and still be in the 80's. We spent 2 hours here and we would have not stayed so long but Jonny started talking. There was a pioneer village (living history) with 3 different kinds of home, farm house, in town home, and upper class home. Jonny left me on my own as he found a hardware store, woodworking shop, blacksmith,and mercantile store. I toured all of these and he was still talking in the woodworking shop.
As for pictures found out I had never download the camera information on to the laptop. Didn't know I had to, so I will be adding the pictures when I get home.
Jonny napped for about 2 hours and I got to drive into Omaha. It is quite a large town, and with the new truck I was a little scared. As soon as we got to Council Bluffs I turned over the driving to him. Now here is our test, we stopped at a information area where they were having a blue grass jam session, it was nice but Jonny couldn't hear the lady giving us directions to the temple, so I took the information (1) bad idea. (2) driving with gps that I thought was taking us in the wrong direction, plus there was 2 detours (due to road work)and the gps doesn't pick up detours, (3) amazingly we made it to the visitors center, pioneer cemetry and temple with only a few disagreements. It was not easy to find. I went on a tour with the sister missionary and Jonny followed later as he found someone to talk to. He was wearing his Placerville Hardware t-shirt and someone asked him if he was from Placerville, that's all it took so the missionary and I went off on the tour without him. About 20 minutes later he found me. We wanted to go to the temple but we also needed to get a hotel, the missionary couple told us to go get our clothes and just change in the bathroom there at the visitor's center. We did and had a wonderful session. After we went back to Council Bluffs and stayed in a dump (Days Inn), I should have known for $54 what do you expect.
