• Branson Thursday

    18. december, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌙 37 °F

    Slept in this morning, and then some time in the whirlpool tub. Rosanne made us breakfast, and then we headed up to the rec center for Christmas drinks. Basically, Hot Chocolate, and socializing. Afterwards, we came back to our room and relaxed, then had lunch. Took a drive downtown to make use of a free carwash at WildBlue car wash. (Equivalent to the FB ads you may have seen for Mr. Splash carwash back at home.) Stopped by Walmart for a Pizza and a few other items, then over to the Wyndham Vista (just across the street from the Meadows, where we are staying), for wine and cheese. And more socializing. The entertainer we met yesterday at the WildWest Breakfast show, Catfish, was also here. Passed out some bells and taught us to play a couple Christmas Hymns. Fun way to enjoy the "happy hour". Afterwards he played his guitar and sang a few songs. After that it was back to our resort room. Had our pizza, and then off to see the Haygoods. It's always a great show. Lots of lazer lights, some comedy and great music. The one guy did his trademark entrance by hanging upside down playing his guitar, sliding in on a cable overhead. This year they did one set using quite a few drones. Wish I could have gotten some photos of that. Probably two dozen drones all changing colors and buzzing around the stage. I highly recommend the Haygood's show if you get to Branson! Driving back to the resort after the show, we had to detour out closer to Table Rock Lake and come in on the other side of our resort. Apparently there was some power lines down and law enforcement was redirecting us to the detour. Kind of a gusty day today, but don't know if that was the cause. Some rain here this morning, and with the wind, didn't feel like it was in the 50's. This evening suppose to get down to 28, but still warmer than home. Day time temps continue to be in the upper 50's.Læs mere
