Branson isn't just for old people.

This past weekend, we got to enjoy a kid-free trip with some good friends!  The destination was Big Cedar in Branson, Missouri.  Boy, is that a good place to stay!  Beautiful all over.  While the average age was around 65, we youngin's still had a good time.

Justin and I got there before the others since we had to meet up with Grandma to do a kid-swap.  So we enjoyed a nice BBQ place that is deliciously not healthy for you!  I got the beef nachos and Justin got the fried cat-fish.  We left stuffed, but happy.


We went out to enjoy the sites.  We stopped by the Dixie Stampede and enjoyed the horses without the show.  We spent the rest of the day browsing through Branson and enjoyed not being on a schedule.


After we checked in to the place we would stay for the next couple of days, we found this view while enjoying the pool:



One night we went out to Branson Landing to enjoy a tribute to Journey.  The concert was in front of a water and fire show. It was neat to sit outside, listen to music and enjoy the wonderful evening.


We also met Barry Williams in the Country Mart!!  He wasn't very friendly - otherwise we would have gotten a photo and an autograph.  Who wasn't in love with Greg Brady growing up?

 We really had a great, relaxing time with lots of laughs!  I hope this can become a regular thing we do because we all had so much fun.  We missed our kids like crazy, but we knew they were in good hands.
