Directions in Omaha
So many of you know where the zoo in Omaha is? Oh course you do...right off of Interstate 80 on the 13th street exit. Well how many of you know where Omaha's Historic Old Market is at? Well not me. So I had asked the the misses to get directions on were to eat...and had decided on Spaghetti Works inside the Old Market. Our directions were 72nd Street and Dodge. So we make our trek from the zoo back on to the interstate to save some time as rush hour approached. We make it to the 72nd street exit bout 10 minutes later only to have no idea which way it is. Do we turn right or do we turn left? I took my best guess and thought that turning right would be the 'right' way to go. So we drive...and we drive...and we drive some more...in a crazy 6 lane glorified street with a ton of street lights. We finally make it to our destination...but there is not a spaghetti works in sight...but we do see a mall. We ask for directions again from our original source...only to find out that the Old Market was on 13th Street! Nice I say. So after driving through all the traffic we decide to check out the mall. Pretty small I say. But still not bad. After leaving we ask for directions on the best way to get to the old market during rush hour...and we are told where to go. Thanks to the lady inside Chili's. Anyways, we arive at the Old Market about 15 minutes later and cannot find a place to park as there are parking meters everywhere that require coins. Nice! But we happened to find a nice parking garage that would allow us to park for a nice 4 dollars. So we took it. After we get out of the car...we start walking towards the market...only to realize we dont have the camera. So we head back to the car to grab it...thats when the girl friend just realizes that she left her driver's license and Debit Card on the top of my car...at the mall. Yikes! Didn't we just pay the 4 dollars parking i am thinking. Now we are going to have to go back and look around our parking spot at the mall...nice...traffic going out of the city is jammed. Great. With the gf stressing completely at this point she asks me if i remember her putting it on top of my car...and I said that i remember her doing so once we got out of the car to go into the mall. Thats when it hit her...a small plastic bag she stuck her ID and check card in. Sweet! Whew! Got lucky this time...So off of eat we go. Fun Times...Oh..Spaghetti Works is a pretty good restaurant...check it out sometime.
