      I thought we'd spend today recovering from all the fun we had over our birthdays but Tom told me we were going on a mystery road trip. We jumped in the car and after half an hour of driving, we ended up at the Nebraska Safari Park.

      We got to stroke a snake in the visitor centre and this was Tom's first time.

      The first animals we saw on the safari were the elks.

      We had to drive carefully as the animals kept crossing the road.

      We then drove through the woods and saw the deer, who were adorable.

      The final part of the safari was the bison, who were all huddled up in a herd near the exit.

      The Strategic Air & Space Museum was next door to the safari, so we drove by to see some of the rockets.

    We drove back to Omaha, where we passed this bar which was swarming with bikers.

      We then headed down to Arksarben Village for cupcakes. Tom tried a macaroni which wasn't anything like the Parisian kind. I don't think we're very found of American baking.
