Nebraska

Today was our long day for travel - 485 miles. For anyone who has traveled by car for any amount of time knows it feel more like triple the distance. So, our plan? We got up at 3am this morning and were in the car by 3:45 driving away. It would have been 3:30 but they screwed up our billing..... By the time Kiera woke up for the day we were already 1/2 way to our destination. We only had to stop twice - once for Kiera to eat her oatmeal and the other time for a mid-morning snack and pee time. All in all it was a great plan even though we were dog tired. It worked so well we are going to do it tomorrow. We figured, heck, at least by the time we hit DC and we actually get to sleep in, 6am will feel like a luxury!
We only had one episode (which is still on-going, btw) today with poor little Kiera. She started to have an allergic reaction (totally takes after her mommy) to the medication that they were giving her - hives and diarea. So, that puppy is in the garbage and on the list of allergies for Kiera. Paul went around and around with the all the "assistants" in the hospital trying to get them to get a doctor to prescribe a different medication for her so that she didn't go back down hill and get sick again. Well, that didn't work - at least not yet anyway - we got two call backs, both different people, both asking if we could come in at 1pm for a followup visit, even though we told them initially that we were in Nebraska and that would make it a bit difficult to make the appt. The next two calls were Paul trying to get a hold of someone to help K out, but he continued to get the run around....now it is past 5pm in Utah and "the pharmacy is closed but it doesn't matter because the doctor went home early anyway". YUCK! So, that story is to be continued. Tune in tomorrow when we find out if Paul will ever find a kind soul to help him out, if Kiera will get her medication, if Bo and Hope can make it through their tangled love triangle and if Victor will wake up from his coma in time to stop the wedding of the woman he loves...... anyway.....

Here's Kiera-bug and me playin' on the bed!

Okay, so here we are onto another Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This one is called BrewBurgers and in the heart of Omaha. I was not as excited about this one as I was the other place we could have gone to but this one was closer and we had a baby that was just not into more driving.
The story is pretty much like many of the other Triple D's, he was uprooted from Canada to Omaha and missed his hometown's brisket sandwiches. So, he opened up his own place. Paul ordered the brisket sandwich (the DDD choice) and I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. We say - save your money! The service was great and the staff was friendly but the food left something to be desired. I think that if you love sports (I think that there were over a dozen tv's in that little place with all the different sports stuff going on) and love beer, you'd be set....that way you could get a little tipsy and be distracted by all the shiny tvs enough that the food might taste good.
Paul & I gave it the same rating: 2 out of 5: "What?!?! I wasted my daily caloric intake on this place?"
