Pretty cool that I find myself in Omaha, Nebraska!
I grabbed some coffee at a neighborhood coffee shop and spent my morning working from my AirBnB.
I had a recommendation from my brother to eat a Runza while here. The original Runza location is no longer around so I went to the closest one I could find for lunch. Runza started in 1949 by Sally Everett in Lincoln, NE. The operations were expanded by her son and are still run by her grandchildren. The Runza Sandwich features bread that is baked fresh daily stuffed with ground beef, onions, spices, and cabbage. I added mushrooms, onions and cheese to mine. It’s kind of like a Nebraskan cheese steak. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one.

Went back to the AirBnB to work through the afternoon then headed out for some disc golf. I played two courses. The first one was a short nine hole course at Hanscom Park Disc Golf Course about a quarter mile from my home. I really enjoyed having this nearby as I did go back a few more times during my stay. It was close and I could get through a round in about 30 minutes. AND…. I SHOT MY FIRST ACE so why not go back!
Shot my ace on hole 4 at Hanscom Park Disc Golf Course.
It was a short hole of only 135 feet but I had to wind it around numerous trees.
From here I headed to Seymour Smith Disc Golf Course which was about 30 minutes away in La Vista, NE. It is one of the better rated courses in the area and is a more challenging 18 basket course. Loved that I was disc golfing in Nebraska!

I had decided, while in the planning process of this trip, that I’d treat myself to a steak dinner in Omaha. After golfing, I went home, cleaned up and headed to The Drover. Certainly not a high end joint. The inside was very dark with cowboy motif. There was a salad bar. The steak was OK. I’ll go elsewhere the next time.
Went by Pageturners Lounge per Michael’s recommendation. Excellent little venue. There was a duet playing which ended with Pink Floyd’s “If”. Always enjoy live music!
