Things to do/restaurant recommendations in Lincoln/Omaha
The next best friends road trip will spend three nights in June in downtown Lincoln as a home base (hotel rates that week in Omaha are crazy expensive with Hampton-type hotels going for $500).
We are interested in short (1-3 hours) road trips to quirky places (e.g., small town museums), restaurants (Steak, Mexican -- actual TexMex would be a plus -- Asian; we are not foodies nor into bar scenes). Can't do a lot of walking (bad knees).
Already on my radar are the casinos in Council Bluffs and the Strategic Air Command Museum. Is the Mormon winter-over museum worth seeing?
