Going Away

I am headed out in the morning. My dad and his wife are picking me up at 8:30am, and we are headed to Branson, Missouri (I live in Oklahoma). A lot of you who live in my area are pretty familiar with Branson, and have probably been there. It's fun, family friendly, and there is so much to do. We are going to meet up with my sister, BIL, and niece and nephew on the way tomorrow. We will make a stop at Fantastic Caverns before we head up to the condo we will be sharing (you can rent a time share for a small amount of time if you wish, and we will be renting a 3 bedroom until Thursday). I imagine we will go Ride the Ducks as Amyra and Hudson have never done that. There will shopping involved, no doubt. They have a huge newer area with shops galore. However, I prefer the old, downtown Branson where you can find small mom and pop shops. Things are less expensive, and the treasures you can find are amazing. I just can't wait to spent time with my niece and nephew. I just wanted to hug on Amyra, and kiss little Hudson's face. I will do my best not to do anything to irritate my sister, but I plan to enjoy her company as well as my BIL's company. We will probably see a show one night, and then maybe watch the kids while my sister and her husband have a night out by themselves. Let me know your week plans. Anyone else enjoy Branson? Or Ride the Ducks (I know those are all over the country)?

It has been more than twenty years since I have been to Branson, the leaves in the Ozarks should be gorgeous about now. Hubby keeps saying we need to go, and part of me would like to do a Senior bus tour at Christmas time. We will see what works out. Enjoy your time and have lots of fun.

Oh, that sounds ideal! I've only been through Oklahoma, but stayed overnight in Joplin, MO years ago. My plans? My son's wedding is Friday! Have a wonderful time!
