The shrine.


While D and I stayed at a hotel near the stadium, the in-laws settled into their travel trailer on the other side of town.  With just one car between the four of us, this meant lots of traveling back and forth.  Early on in the trip I noticed a road sign by the RV park directing visitors towards the Holy Family Shrine.  Being the curious person that I am, I was determined to check it out.  D and the in-laws eventually humored me.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this beautiful glass chapel, founded by the Catholics, on a hill overlooking a valley.


It was closed for the day so we couldn't go inside.


Behind the structure was a garden.





The water flowed right through the middle of the chapel and ended at the alter.  

The whole place was exquisite.

that is soooo cool! Don't you love it when you find something so unexpected? So pretty and the structure is beautiful.

For some reason I thought it'd be something kind of sad looking, I guess because it's out in the boonies and near an RV park. I certainly wasn't expecting this.

Yes, Emily. Right in Omaha.
