Branson Trip -- July 2009

At the toy museum, Alan looks for a fire truck like he had as a child.
Carolyn tries on a "hillbilly" hat.

This band at Branson was very talented and funny.

If you ever read "Shepherd of the Hills", this is the author's painting of the "trail that nobody knows how old".


We went to Branson, MO again this year. It's a fun get-away for all ages. We enjoy the activities there and also enjoy watching the families there. You rarely ever see people fussing at one another; they are just enjoying one another's company. We signed up to attend another sales presentation, knowing full well that we couldn't buy a condo in Branson. They sure are pretty though. We didn't think much of the place we saw this time -- wouldn't have bought into it if we'd had the extra money. We did get good hotel prices, two free tickets to see the Haygoods, and two tickets to Silver Dollar City. If you ever go to Branson, we recommend seeing the Haygoods. It's a family act with 7 brothers and one sister. They are tremendous. They play all sorts of instruments, sing, dance, do comedy -- and it's all very high energy. Silver Dollar City has rides, demonstrations of how to do all sorts of crafts, shops, and many music and/or dance acts that you can stop by and see for no extra cost. The tickets we got were two day tickets although we only went one day.
