We just had spring break and we took a trip to Branson, MO. It was about a four hour drive and the kids did great! We stayed at the Hilton on the Landing – a new area on the water. It was a new outdoor mall built along the waterway. There were all different kind of shops and restaurants. Since it rained most of the trip we had to find a lot of stuff to do indoors. We ate a lot! There is a lot of food in Branson.
We were able to make it to Silver Dollar City on the last day – we were thankful it didn’t rain. Paige and Shane loved Silver Dollar City. We had fried chicken and mashed potatoes for lunch – kids had pb&j (big surprise). We also visited Dino’s new bakery called 24 Karot Cake. He is a piano performer turned baker. I danced at his theatre 20 years ago. I wasn’t able to see him but we tried 5 different kinds of cake – coconut cake, chocolate fudge, tropical, strawberry, and of course, carrot cake.
One of the most fun things we did was take Western photos at this place on the landing. Here are a few of them. You can go here to see more photos.
