Daytripper by Jordy Clements

Each month, Jordy Clements, a head writer for Omaha.net, will write about the many great day trips available to residents and visitors of Omaha. The premise is simply to find fun, inexpensive entertainment that can be reached from Omaha in no more than a few hours. Have a suggestion for something that Jordy should cover? Write to him here.
