RE: More than a "fly over" state
That's two times in two weeks you posted about my homes😁. The first was about John Ball Zoo and now Nebraska. I grew up in Grand Rapids and now live in Nebraska. Nebraska definitely has some things to make it stand out and a bit better than flyover country. If you get a chance, take one of the scenic routes through the sandhills. The Niobrara River is a top 10 river destination for rafting and kayaking as well. When you come back through Omaha(if you do), stop at Lewis and Clark Monument in Council Bluffs, just across the river to get the best view of Omaha and doing so at sunset will be the best case scenario.

We came across on 80 when we made the drive. We had stopped in the quad cities the night before and then drove from there to North Platte the next day. I found it very pretty countryside when we came through in early July. I was hoping to make it up to the Lake McConaughy area, but we had to get to Denver early the next morning to meet our relatives that were flying in.
I've never seen Lake McConaughy yet myself, but have made the same drive you are making so many times. Lewis and Clark Monument is only a few mile drive from I-80, overlooking the Missouri River Valley and downtown Omaha.
