Our Anniversary/Branson Trip (Get-A-Way)


I meant to post this over the weekend, but I hadn't gotten it finished, and then I forgot. This trip happened Labor Day weekend!

-----

For our wedding anniversary (Sept. 2), we were given free reservations for The Suites at Fall Creek in Branson. It is a nice resort. The place were were given to stay at had two master bedrooms, to bathrooms (with Jacuzzis), a full kitchen, dining room, living room, and two screen balconies/porches! It was awesome.

The resort had an outdoor and inside pool, a put-put course, sand volleyball court, plus many other things! Each room had a big tv with cable, and above the beds say an iHome... so I was able to put in my iPod and we could listen to music! We didn't use it as an alarm clock, we decided to sleep in!

Our trip went well. Paulette came over and watched the kids while we were away. She took them took them to church on Sunday.

We left the house around 5pm on Saturday evening and headed straight to the resort to check in. After we checked out our "apartment", we headed over to Silver Dollar City. Gold City was there for the Southern Gospel Picnic. I took video and pictures.

We got to the suite, ate pizza and went to bed. We slept in the next morning. It was great not having the kids! Around noon we went to Panara bread to get us a frozen mocha and use their wi-fi (we're nerds). We visited a few shops, went swimming, enjoyed the whirlpool, watched a movie, and enjoyed the day together.

On Labor Day, we took the kids to SDC and let them ride the rides. Before leaving, we saw Brian Free & Assurance. The kids slept trough the concert. When we arrived home, we were tired...

Lydia and I had an enjoyable time, and wish we could get a way again... sometime soon. Unfortunately, I think this is a one-time-a-year thing!
