Lincoln, NE - A Great Weekend Getaway...

2 weekends ago, Matt and I traveled to Lincoln to catch-up with friends and family. We both went to college in Lincoln. It can be a great little weekend trip from Kansas City, especially during football season, talk about die hard fans! We love them Huskers! Here are a few things to see and do when visiting Lincoln:

• Eat at Bison Witches - great place to grab a sandwich for lunch! A total local joint with some of the best food! Also they have a ton of beers to try and lots of drink specials.

• Go to a Husker Football game if its football season!


• Head over to the Sunken Gardens in the morning with a cup of coffee.


• Walk around Downtown Lincoln for great shopping. Mainly little boutiques like Stella and Post and Nickel.


• For Dinner head down to the Haymarket. There are great restaurants such as Lazlo's, El Potrero and Vincenzo's. There are also fun events in the Haymarket during the summer and you can always watch the Husker's during football season. Also, they have a farmers market set-up on Saturday mornings.

• If you have time, go to James Arthur Vineyard for a wine tasting. It is just north of Lincoln.

There is a lot more to do in Lincoln, but these are a few of my highlights! It is an easy getaway from Kansas City, only a 3 hour drive!
