Yesterday I spent the day in Hastings, Nebraska. The Hastings Aquacourt is one of the places on the Nebraska Passport. This place is amazing and I wish Lincoln had a fun water park like this one. They have a lazy river, that I floated on about 10 times around. It was extremely relaxing. They also have 4 different slides, I only went down the yellow slide. The best part that I like about all water parks is when they have a wave pool and the Aquacourt has one! It’s not as big as the one at Mahoney, but the waves were just as enjoyable.
This is a great place to bring the whole entire family for a day or just to come hang out with your best friends for a few hours. It is definitely worth driving a few hours to Hastings just to go swimming!
Slattery Vintage Estates is one of the places listed on my Nebraska Passport. I have heard about this place from a few of my friends, so last Saturday I decided to take a little trip and see what this attraction has to offer. This is a winery and as a girl that enjoys wine, I knew I would like this place with all my heart.
The estates are nestled out in the country by Wheeping Water, just a short drive east of Lincoln. One thing I liked is how green the country fields and trees were in the surrounding area. The scenery was everything I enjoy about a day out in the country.
I enjoyed 6 different wines during my tastings and then had myself one full glass of wine. My favorite was the Kid Wade wine from the Outlaw Trail Series. All the wines are made right here in Nebraska, so I feel like I am tasting the goodness of home!
The best part about this winery is the food. I had crackers, salmon and cheese for an appetizer and on some nights like the Saturday night I went they make woodfired grilled pizza. They had 3 different options for a pizza, I had had “The Barbie” which is named after the owner Barb. If you like Chicken Alfredo, then you will love “The Barbie.” The pizza is a great size, It could serve 2-3 people, depending upon how much one person chooses to eat.
This is one place that I would love to go back, especially if I were to have a boyfriend or husband. They have 4 of these cute bungalows that people can rent and stay in for the night. Each bungalow has a different look on the inside, but a fairly similar. These bungalows are a cross between a tent and a cabin. The only drawback I foresee, is that it was really hot the night I went, so I don’t know how I would feel about sleeping outside when it is super hot, I feel like possbily May or September would be better months to stay in the bungalows.
Overall, I highly recommend this place, the whole entire place is gorgeous, the food is great and the staff is exceptionally friendly. My server was Caitlin and the other staff members there were very friendly and persistant at asking me if I needed anything or if they could help me with anything.
I give this place two thumbs up and recommend everyone make this place a priority to visit in the near future.
Life has been a little busy for me lately and I have not had time to sit and type on my computer.
I got done with a three week summer class a couple weeks ago and since then I have been traveling a lot for my job with Nebraska Lottery! We have been to Omaha, North Platte and Duncan, Nebraska. This weekend we will be working fourth of July celebration in Seward, Nebraska.
I also just moved into a duplex with three other girls and I am loving it! Things in life are surely looking up and I can only see more good things coming my way (at least I hope!)
I am currently taking an online summer class and my first paper is due by tomorrow night so I’m spending most of today trying to finish writing it so I can turn it in and have it done.
I need to do better at updating my blog, I believe I will start keeping a journal while I am on the road with my job and then when I get to a computer I can just type them all up.
Have a great rest of the week and and great 4th of July!
These are my goals for this upcoming summer:
1. Work hard at my job
2. Rollerblade and Bike more
3. Save more money then what I spend
4. Eat less fried food
5. Drink less pop, Drink MORE WATER
6. Pass my two summer classes
7. Practice golfing more
8. Spend more time with family (especially my little cousins)
9. Read at least three books.
10. Get a really good tan.
These are just ten goals I would like to accomplish. I have many more in my head, but I think these are ones that I can achieve more than anything!
