Spring Break Part 3 and Home

Well, we're back now, after Grandma and Grandpa have completely worn us out! But I have to tell you about the rest of the trip.

After going crazy on the dune buggy and things, John and I got on the Showboat Branson Belle. (Grandma and Grandpa were going to go with us, but Grandma had a doctor's appt. that went late, so Grandpa shipped us off on our own)

We're about to board!

Inside the lobby

It was another dinner attraction, so we boarded the showboat and they served us a 3-course meal. Yum! After the food the ship left the dock, and we had about 20 minutes to walk around and see the view and visit the captain.

The huge paddles were really cool to see once we got going


The landing/dock we came on from




The steering wheel is 10' 2" in diameter!! BIG!


No, this is NOT a Titanic thing...the wind was really strong...

John took this picture of the Missouri Flag, cool, huh??


Then we watched a show on the boat. They did show tunes and saw Todd Oliver and his talking dogs and a cool tribute to the USA at the end. Very cool. The whole trip was about 2 hours, but so fun!

The place was huge!



Then we hit ONE MORE show for the night, the Presley's Country Jubilee. One of the first original shows performed in Branson and put on by the same family (the Presleys) for about 50 years. 4 generations and a lot of talent.


Then it was finally time to pack up and come home. So now we're back to reality!! It's kind of a relief to be home and relax and recover a little from our trip. But we had so much fun!! Thanks grandma and grandpa!!!!
