In the twelve years that Monte and I have been married we have traveled often. We have always traveled with family or with business (and family) but never alone. It was time to take a family vacation with just us. We needed to be a family and to make up for lost time. We did. We traveled to Branson. We spent a lot of our time at Silver Dollar City (minutes from the cabin), and also visited Branson Landing, Ralph Foster Museum, and spent time hiking, and swimming.
These are a few of my favorite things...
*Playing the ABC game in the car with a new twist. A song to help keep Vaeh happy.
*Our cabin. It fit us perfectly with two bedrooms, two large bathrooms, an open kitchen/living room and a large back screened in porch.
*The scary mountain goat on the wall of the cabin that we fondly named "dead goat." Veah was terrified of him the first few days and refused to be near him in the room. She watched to make sure that he didn't move. After a few days she got used to him and would run by him and scream "Hi dead goat!"
*Breakfast on the screened in porch every morning.
*Watching the kids go through the same nostalgic things at Silver Dollar City that I remember as a kid...Grandfather's Mansion, The Sunken Mine, The Big Rocking Chair, Oh Yea and my personal favorite JAIL!
*Tea Parties in Tutus.
*SISTERS
*Relaxing
*Meeting the locals...including the Beverly Hillbillies.
We came...we saw...we bonded...we played...we had fun...we relaxed...and we were a family. We are glad to be HOME!
Nothing like family time, sometimes good other times character building.
