Omaha...somewhere in middle America

So we just got back from the USA Swimming Olympic Trials in Omaha. Never been to Omaha, but I won't dread a return trip; it actually wasn't too bad of a town. They had a big storm blow through the night before with 100 mph winds that caused a lot of damage, so it looked a little like a warzone when we first rolled in.
We attended the 2nd day of the trials. If you aren't familiar with the trials it's pretty easy to understand: if you want to swim in the Olympics for USA, you have to swim and place in the trials. All the big names were there. It was really cool. We saw 2 world records beaten which was awesome. The place went crazy. Brandi took some cool pictures of some of the athletes from our nose-bleed seats. I was impressed with the zoom on our camera.
