Branson, Missouri

My husband and I spent a week in September 2006 in Branson, Missouri.  It was out of season so it was not crowded and the weather was still warm. We enjoyed Historic Branson.  There are a lot of stores and a water show nightly at the water front.  Don’t forget to check out the 5 & 10 in Historic Branson.  They have a little of everything for sale.  We enjoyed the cruise on the Showboat Branson Belle.  The show and dinner were very good.  They had the talking dogs on the show and it really was scary the way it looked like the dogs were talking.  We saw the Jim Stafford Show with his 9 year old daughter and 13 year old son performing on stage.  I always did enjoy Spider and Snakes by Jim.  Also saw the Andy Williams show.  His voice doesn’t sound as good as it did when he was younger but still sounded good.  His show also included Petula Clark.  Almost didn’t go to the Silver Dollar City but I’m glad we did.  We spent the entire day at the Park.  Enjoyed seeing the demonstration of all the many crafts.  My husband rented an electric wheelchair as there is a lot of walking.  If you are planning on going during the busy season you should call ahead and reserve the wheelchair if you need one.  We appreciated the check-in clerk telling us where we could get gas cheaper.  We took her advice and it was quite a bit cheaper.  Don’t forget to get a map of downtown as this is the best way to take the routes around the city and avoid the traffic. Our Sundance Vacation was very enjoyable.
