No this is not a hotel...it is a churchWe spent our 10th Anniversary down in Branson, MO. We left Thursday morning and came back Sunday afternoon.
Thursday we went down to Branson Landing an outdoor mall. Joe's favorite shop at the mall was the Bass Pro Shop. Janette's was every other shop. While at the mall we watched a water/fire show which was pretty neat.
Friday we went to an Outlet Mall, checked out some other stores, and went on the Showboat Branson Belle. The Showboat was so much fun and we had great seats. We started out with dinner while they played music and sang songs. After dinner we were able to go outside on the decks and enjoy our cruise around the lake. Then we went back in for more shows. 2 guys and 2 girls sang 29 broadway/movie songs in 10 min's while doing costume changes. It was really good. Then Todd Oliver & Irwin (the talking dog) came out. They have been on Leno, Today Show & others. We haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Go to YouTube and look them up.
Saturday we went back to Branson Landing and checked out more shops around the area, went miniature golfing, and ended the day at Dolly Pardon's Dixie Stampede. The boys were jealous of us going to a Pirate Miniature Golfing without them. We took pictures for them though. Then we went to the Dixie Stampede. It was also a dinner and a show. Sorry no pictures, because cameras were not allowed. YouTube it if you want to see what it is like though. Awesome! We sat around an indoor arena . Our side was the North (like the Civil War) and the other side was the South. We cheered for out team and booed the other team. When we couldn't clap, because we ate our dinner with our hands, we kicked the boards in front of us. We were served soup, whole Cornish hen, corn on the cob, ham, biscuit, half a potato, and an apple turnover. Dinner was very good and the show was great. The boys were also jealous that we got to eat with our hands.
Sunday we packed up and had a nice drive home wishing it could have lasted longer.
The "you might be a redneck if" picture is a minivan pulling into a Hilton with a boat on the back. I thought it was funny. Not what I would expect to see at a Hilton.
We did learn a few things while we were down there. We learned that we still love each other and have to do something like this again before another 10 years pass by. We had so much fun and would recommend Branson. It is family oriented meaning the shows are clean and it is not just for old people. We were the youngest couple on Thursday though by 30 years, but as we got closer to the weekend more families started showing up. We also learned about the bible belt. They take their churches very serious. They were huge and fancy as you can see from the picture.
