Alina's 42nd birthday celebration with Richard

 Since Richard was gone on my birthday, he took me to Omaha, NE on the weekend.  We went to the temple on Friday morning and were able to do an endowment session.  Then we took Richard's car to the Acura Dealership to be fixed.  While they worked on the car Richard and I went to some outlet stores where we bought some new shirts for Richard.  That evening we checked into our hotel called the Farnum which is new and super luxurious.  Richard had a certificate for a free night's stay!

We raced to dinner, walking to a seafood restaurant called Shucks Fish House and Oyster Bar where we just made if for the last ten minutes of happy hour and Richard got a dozen $1 oysters.  Boy was he happy!

After dinner we went to a crazy candy store called Hollywood Candy where we got each of our kids a treat.  It was enormous with old Pin Ball games, an ice cream counter, fudge bar, and lots of memorabilia.  After Hollywood Candy a disappointing antique store, we went to get ice cream at the famous, if not so tasty, Ted and Wally's. 

The next day we had a free complimentary breakfast after which we walked to the Durham Museum.  We watched some videos about the famous underwater sea explorer and inventor who directed the movie The Abyss and worked on the Titanic.

After the museum we went to the farmers market, checked out of the hotel, and drove to Squirrel House Jail.  It was three stories tall and rotated so the prisoners were kept isolated from the jailor.  After the crazy jail we went to a few antique stores, saw another small town car show, ate lunch, and drove home.
