The Garden at the Lewis and Clark Visitors Center in Omaha

 Not only do we have the BOB bridge outside the visitor center, but a nice garden area with plants and signs.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Mount Vernon Garden

A garden overlooking the Missouri River which was built to resemble a small Mount Vernon in honor of President George Washington.  Not a good view of the river anymore due to the overgrowth of the trees.  Of course the trees and plants, some are different species than those in Virginia due to what grows best in Omaha.  Vandalism is a concern at this park, and you can see its effect.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: First Visit to Lauritzen Garden.

 Lauritzen Garden is opposite side of the freeway fro Doorly Zoo.  Consequently is is also very close to Charity's home.  We went for story time, so the admission was free.  The story was fun, and the gardens are spectacular.  There was no way to see the entire garden.  Currently they have an exhibit of topiaries--plants molded to look like animals.  We saw flamingoes, a lion, fish and a wolf.  I would guess we got through about half a quarter of the park.  I really enjoyed watching the model trains as several different trains went around the many tracks.
