1st Family Vacation

We got back last night from our vacation to Branson. We had a great time and were definitely not ready to come home! Now I have piles of laundry to do and a house to clean. Back to the real world.

We left for Branson on Monday morning around 9ish. We had an uneventful drive there. It rained pretty much the whole way. Cayson was a great traveler. He just played the whole time and took cat naps.

Our hotel was fabulous! I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area. We were supposed to have the basic king room and were upgraded to a Chateau King which was a larger room with a sitting area and it overlooked the pool & Table Rock Lake. It was a gorgeous view and a fabulous room. Cayson loved the big bed. He would just lay on it and play and sprawl out. I think he wants a king size bed for Christmas!

We spent time relaxing, eating, and enjoying some of what Branson has to offer. We went to the Branson Belle Showboat Tuesday night. It was fun though Cayson didn't care for the loud show. He was asleep and then woke up fussy because of all the noise. Dad sat with him outside the dining room and put him to sleep. Dusty & I enjoyed the show. They had a ventriloquist that talked through his dogs. It was pretty funny. We also went to Silver Dollar City on Thursday. It entails a lot of walking up and down hills! Dusty & I enjoyed the roller coasters and the BIG swing! It was funny because most of the people visiting this time of year are senior citizens. Of course they don't ride the rides, so we got to walk on all the rides with no waiting! That was so nice. Mom & Dad would keep Cayson while we rode the rides. We were all exhausted after all the walking at Silver Dollar City. We were sad to come home yesterday. I would have loved to stay a couple more days, but we had commitments here. I didn't want to overwhelm you with all my vacation pictures. You can look at more of them at http://swosu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2020592&id=177803789.
