Branson





















So Justin and I decided to take a little weekend trip to Branson, Missouri. We signed up for one of those things where stay in a nice hotel for very cheap but you have to listen to a presentation about buying a time share. So, we stayed at Bass Pro Shops Big Cedar Lodge. It was very nice but we weren't too impressed with Branson. We did some fly fishing for trout for a couple of days and it was so much fun. The lakes up there are so different from what we're used to. You can actually see the fish swimming around and not just mud colored water. I didn't catch anything but Justin caught a few thanks to an older gentleman we met while fishing. He decided to take us in and give Justin some pointers. And they worked! I've posted a few pictures of our lodge and us fishing. There is also a picture of this cute little restaurant in a tiny mountain town where we stopped to eat lunch on the way up there. There were very few fast food restaurants on those back roads through the mountains. It was so nice to get out of Memphis for a few days but sadly it's back to work tomorrow.

Beautiful!! Beautiful!! How great to get out of Memphis and into the great outdoors. :) Did they convince you to buy a time share? It was great talking to you yesterday... hope work this week is okay - it's always hard going back after vacation. love love.

So fun, Branson is old folk central. Like the Panama City Beach of White hairs.
It's pretty country up there though. I'm guessing you went on table rock lake. The bottom is covered with stones so that is why you can see down to the bottom. Kanakuk was on Table Rock Lake. Mine and Lindsay's camp was about 1 hour away and we would head over to Branson on our day off. We ate at the Olive Garden in Bson everytime we went over there. We were so ready for non camp food!
You two are just traveling fools! Good for you.
