Taste of Omaha

On Sunday, June 6th, we (everyone living here in Omaha) went to something called The Taste of Omaha Festival. Basically, it was a whole lot of booths of different restaurants and other food vendors in the Omaha area. You buy tickets like at a carnival and use them to get food from the different booths. It was at Lewis & Clark Landing and Heartland of America Park combined. It was a pretty awesome thing.

We tried alligator on a stick!



I think it tasted like seasoned pork, but chewier.
Sandra and her gumbo type stuff got to stand under the Robert's Dairy cow.




There was a carnival there, too. Justin and Trisha went on the ferris wheel while Nikki and I rode the train.






Right before we left I decided to try lamb tacos. Not bad!






The last thing we saw as we were leaving was this band: Silver Bullet, "The number one Bob Seger Tribute Band!" Couldn't get over the "look" these guys had going!




Overall, it was fun to walk around and see the river and all the different kinds of foods and bands and people. The best part was that it was something different to do. None of us had ever been there before, so it was a great adventure!
