This past weekend Abigail and I went to Branson with my parents. Eddy didn't have any days left to take off, so he had to stay here and work. Each year a group of families from the church I grew up in take a 4 day trip to Branson. It's really great to see everyone...most of them I've known since I was 9. 
We did lots of driving on Thursday and ate at a fabulous restaurant that night...great Italian food. Friday we did some shopping, rode the train and saw "Noah" the Musical. Abigail didn't do so great on the train...mainly because it was nap time, but she did fabulous during the musical. Of course with singing, dancing, and live animals I figure anyone would be happy! Saturday we did lots of shopping, but it was a great time to visit with old friends...and for our kids to play together. 
By 6:00 that night Abigail was totally worn out, so she didn't even get to go swimming with her new friends. But this gave mom and I a chance to have some time together. We were going to go to the Titanic museum, but they were closed...even though they said they sold their last ticket at 9, that was not the case. So we decided to drive through this 2.5 miles of lights. It cost 10.00 per person...and it was not very good...in fact, the one in Lindale is much better. And it took us at least an hour to get through it!! We got up and had breakfast Sunday at IHOP, then headed it out. It was a long day in the car, but we were safely home by 10:30. Needless to say I'm still trying to recoperate. And although lots of people think Branson is for older couples, I love it. I love the shows and the Ozarks and the weather! Hopefully next year we'll have as much fun...and Eddy has already taken the days off!
