Our ninth stop on the Nebraska Passport was Gallery 9. I didn’t do that on purpose. It just worked out that way! This is a cute little gallery featuring local artists from Lincoln, Nebraska. I didn’t take pictures of the artwork out of respect for the artists. (The exception being the cards I purchased.) However, …
Passport Stop #8: Baker’s Candies
Located in Greenwood, NE, Baker’s Candies is the largest candy shop in Nebraska and well worth every second spent there. First and foremost, they make the best chocolate meltaways ever. Absolutely hands down. Ever. My favorites are the Scooters coffee and milk chocolate mint flavors, but I’ve never had a bad one. As you can …
Passport Stop #7 & Wine Passport Stop #1: Cellar 426 Winery
Our seventh Nebraska Passport Stop was Cellar 426 Winery. Located in Ashland, Nebraska, this winery has been a favorite of ours for a few years, so we were happy to return! A wine tasting is our favorite thing to do when visiting a winery, but with the current health measures, this was not available to …
Passport Stop #6: Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum
The Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, located near Ashland, Nebraska, has an amazing collection of military aircraft, including a B-47E, an F-105, and more. You can also see the Apollo Command Space Module, as well as the Atlantis Shuttle Trainer. There are also a wide variety of interesting exhibits throughout the museum, including exhibits …
Passport Stop #5: Nebraska Brewing Company
The first time I drove out to La Vista to visit the Nebraska Brewing Company, I wanted a beer so bad. And when I got there, they were closed. The sign on the door informed me that they were closed as they were participating in Blackout Tuesday to show solidarity with their community. Gestures like …
Passport Stop #4: Beyond Golf Bar + Kitchen
My husband and I popped over to Beyond Golf Bar + Kitchen the other day for a quick drink and dessert. As it was a week night, we planned on being there for half an hour or so. Until we saw the golf simulator bays. Dan loves to golf. Me, on the other hand, I …
Passport Stop #3: Our SpecialTea
Tucked away in Blair, Nebraska is the most adorable little tea room. I had never heard of this establishment before, but after enjoying tea and scones with our wonderful hostess, we already have our return visit booked. When they coined the phrase “the hostess with the mostest,” they must have had Jean, the owner of …
Passport Stop #2: Mulhall’s
Our second stop on the Nebraska Passport was Mulhall’s. I was convinced that I had never seen this place until my husband showed me that I actually drive by it all the time. I’m not sure how I didn’t notice, as it is actually quite large. It had almost anything we could want in the …
Passport Stop #1: The Next Chapter
Our first stop on the Nebraska Passport this year was The Next Chapter. Located at 25th & Farnam (right next to Zen Coffee), this quaint little shop is in one of my favorite parts of Omaha. The owner greeted us immediately upon arrival, offered assistance, and answered any questions we had. I was so excited …
