We left the day after Christmas to head up to Memphis. We stayed with Miller and Sarah and exchanged Christmas presents. The cousins got to play all together and had a lot of fun! We woke up the next morning and made the drive up to Branson, Missouri. We took the road less traveled that involved mainly mountain roads winding up and down the Ozarks. It was quite the adventure and some of us learned what car sickness was!
We stayed at the Welk Resort, located right outside of downtown Branson, because it had a nice Splashatorium for the kids. We made two trips up to Silver Dollar City (an amusement park) and enjoyed the shows, exhibits, rides, and atmosphere there. The boys LOVED the kids' area there with the 3 story ball enclosure. It started snowing solidly while we were there and that really added to the ambiance! We took the kids through the Marvel Cavern on the second day and were awed by the wonders below the Earth. We stayed there past dark and got to see the park at night. They really do a phenomenal job of decorating for Christmas.
Our last day in Branson was spent at the Splashatorium and then on the Branson Belle Showboat for dinner and a show. Branson is very family-friendly and geared around activities for kids! We look forward to going back one summer and enjoying the rollercoasters and attractions that were closed in the winter.
