We are headed to our ultimate destination. The Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge. After that we start our journey home.
We tried to find the end of the bridge in Council Bluffs but it appeared to be far away from the street (it wasn't) so we went to the Omaha side and walked over. Starting from Omaha let us see the "marathon" sign
so we had to go get our sticker and walk about Old Town in Omaha before crossing back to Council Bluffs to pick up some sculpture and head south.

(the small brown building on the right - not the painted one I thought it would be)
We headed into Missouri and took a detour into Nebraska to go to Peru to try to see some sandstone carvings but the trail was closed so we headed back to the interstate but not before stopping to see the grounded steam wheeler.
And another side trip took us to see the controversial president for a day. In 1849, the inaguration was moved from Sunday to Monday so some say the President Pro Temp of the Sentate was technically the U.S. President for a day. His hometown put up a statue of him.

Our goal was to make it to Kansas City for the night. When we looked for hotels, we decided that Leavenworth Kansas was close enough (plus it gets us another state for the trip!)
We had a nice dinner at Bailey's Irish Pub and a quick trip to Walmart to pick up a keyboard and some dish soap.
The day started out foggy and drizzly. We found some rain here and there. But the sun came out and ended our day nicely.
Tomorrow is art and sculpture in Kansas City Missouri!
