On Sunday evening, after checking into our hotel, we went to the Arbor Day Park.
It was a lovely wooded area with a fancy 52-room mansion, home to the founder of Arbor Day.
After exploring the park, we went in search of dinner. (Dinner wasn't lost, but the boys were starting to get hungry.
We enjoyed a swim at the hotel's pool before going to bed. I think we all slept pretty well, but our room was FREEZING.....someone forgot to turn down the AC!
On Monday (Labor Day) we went to the Lewis and Clark Museum, John Brown's Mayhew Cabin, and Arbor Day Farm. We had fun visiting the new places and learned lots of new information!
It was a nice retreat to get away for a few days! Where can we go next??!!!
When we went from Nebraska City to Percival Iowa,
and vice versa, it was fun to cross the Missouri River.

Anyone hungry??
Lots to do at Arbor Day Farm!
There were rows and rows of tree seedlings in the Greenhouse.
Playing on the fun marimba's!
John Brown's Cave/Cabin was interesting!
A boat created to be like the one Lewis and Clark used on their expedition!
Arbor Day Mansion!
This photo reminds me of what the Garden of Eden might have looked like.
It was absolutely beautiful!
