Tuesday, drive to Branson

This is just one of our winter trips without the boat. Pulled out of the driveway just a few minutes after 7am. Watched the sunrise, stopped in Springfield, Illinois to fill the gas tank and wash the salt from home off our car. (Tired of getting white all over our clothes anytime we got near the car!) Next fuel stop was at a Buc-ee's in Springfield, Missouri. Gas was only $2.14/gal, and Rosanne took my photo with Buc-ee! First stop in Branson was at the Two for One Tickets, Purple Building! We've found they offer the best deal, without a time share pitch! We are staying at the Meadows by Wyndham, one of Rosanne's sister's timeshare. Plan to see David at the Sights and Sound theater, the Haygoods, the Hughes Brothers, and Christmas Story and dinner at Shepherd of the Hills. Also would like to get out to Silver Dollar City to enjoy the Christmas sights there. Otherwise, just enjoying the warmer temps down here, and relaxing in our rooms whirlpool bath!Read more
