My Dad and Step-Mom, Charlotte, traded for a week at a Branson timeshare in order to experience a different place than the Rockies and to have us join them for part of their stay. The resort was very nice...fishing right on Lake Tanycomo out our back door.
I don't think we caught anything during the hot afternoon.
Later, I saw a HUGE school of fish hanging out just over the bank from our balcony. I thought just maybe I could catch one from up there and impress everyone with my awesome angler skills. Kai warned that I shouldn't try as I'd probably get tangled in a tree. Guess who was right?
Between several trips to the indoor pool we spent some time at Branson Landing, which is a very nice outdoor shopping area on the lake. Unfortunately, because of recent flooding, the fountains and light show was under repair, but it still made for a pretty backdrop for our group photo.
The flooding meant disc golf was out too. The course looked like a swamp. But balloon animals are always a hit. Same with candy stores. Can't go wrong there!
We opted to pass on the Mardi Gras masks. They were entertaining though!
So even if you're not a lake person, a show go-er, or putt-putt player, Branson can be a nice little getaway, especially if you have good company! Just please don't make me go for a week on the strip...just shoot me now!
Thanks Dad & Char for more great memories!!!

And guess where the Andersons are going at the end of August? :)
I just booked a condo, near both Taneycomo and Tablerock, for some time in August. I think Tablerock is actually closer. You'll have to let me know what else you did...we will probably do some touristy crap, as that's what the kids truly love to do. ;)
Mr. G's Chicago Style Pizza in old downtown was a definite fav! Really great hole-in-the-wall with great food. We also have been a couple times to Garfield's to eat at Branson Landing. Great atmosphere and very kid friendly w/good food! Other than that it was mainly swimming and shopping :)
