I'm trying to plan a spring break driving vacation and someone suggested Branson, MO. Has anybody here ever been there? I thought I'd check this board because I know that Hugs lives in MO. Hugs, ever been there? I thought it was a place that my parents would go to, but I'm trying to be open about it! Thanks for any help!

I'll stick in a little update for those who remember me.
I'm doing fine. I've lost 35 lbs and I need to go shopping!
Kids are well. DSS has been staying out of trouble. He leaves for Iraq in a couple months. DD in New Jersey is doing well. She'll be home for the summer. (Her DH too.) The two little kids are getting bigger. The spring break trip will be me, DH, DS-age 7 and DD-age 6.

We used to go occassionally, especially to Silver Dollar City (amusement park) when the kids were young, haven't been in many years but friends go and say the shows are awesome. The only show I've seen there was a magic show, Kirby VanBirch I think I have his name right. I didn't really expect to enjoy it but it was amazing. I would highly recommend it. They have "big name" stars there too.


The atmosphere is very "country"

Hugs.....What?! You live in MO and you've never been to Branson?!?!

To lose the weight I joined Weight Watchers Online and started really working out at the local fitness center. I've walked three miles a day there for years, but now I'm doing the elliptical, bicycling, running and lifting weights. Doesn't leave as much time for surfing;-)

Do you think you'll EVER go to Branson?
Why haven't you been there?

I'll probably pop in more often to talk about Idol, but I'll wait until after all the insults. This isn't my favorite part of the season.

Hi Mary,
Honestly we have no desire to go to Branson ::blush::
Not originally from here maybe that has to do with it.
We have no interest in it, LOL

Well done on all your weigh loss .. wish I could say the same.
AY .. kind of fun now though.
Look forward to seeing you more often :)
