Branson here we come...

Three Words... Griswald's Family Vacation!

That is what we most closely resembled as we packed the cars and loaded the families to head out to Branson for a 3 day family vacation weekend! Packing to go anywhere with an infant is CRAZY, but for a long weekend out of town. Holy Cow! There is so much stuff that you have to take with you, because you just never know what you might need. We had the car completely loaded to the ceiling! Then loading 3 adults, one 6 year old and a 6 month old in on top of that - we were packed like sardines. And that was just our car. We had another car that was just as loaded trailing behind us.

We left our house at 9:30 that night and pulled into our hotel at 2:30 am. So, the weekend started off with all of the adults dragging! We "enjoyed" 2 days at Silver Dollar City on the hottest weekend of the year and then played in the indoor water park at the hotel!

The hi-lights of the trip were:

  • Getting into an air conditioned car after leaving Silver Dollar City


  • Swimming in the indoor water park and introducing Sayer to the pool for the first time


  • Having a great meal at "The Fish House" restaurant


  • Enjoying cocktails until the wee hours of the morning on the "veranda" of the hotel after putting the kiddos to bed


  • Riding Go-Karts! Watching Mom beat Mike on Go-Karts. Beating Mike on Go-Karts.



  • Watching Mike open his 1st Father's Day present from Sayer (tears = success)
  • Having a "Dirty Sunday" meal at Lambert's (home of the throwed rolls)
