So John and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in Branson this weekend and really enjoyed
eachother. I say it this way because it was a great time together, away from our normal routines and business, and the best part of the trip were those moments we could say, "I'm so glad to be here with you." Of course, we had different feelings again about the city and people of Branson itself - it is way to commercialized and way to busy to not feel a little stressed at times...overall, well worth the weekend getaway in this wonderful hotel above (for free thanks to the Wyndham Vacation Resorts people)!
After we checked in on Friday and ate at Landry's Seafood Restaurant, we hung out talking and watching the food network in our room (we don't normally have cable and watch our favorite shows through the library interlibrary loan program). Sat, we ventured on to Silver Dollar City for a few hours and then sat through our timeshare presentation for the free hotel, $80 cash, and 2 day Silver Dollar City tickets! It was long, but not too horrible. We then went to see Hancock at the theatre and had dinner. Early to bed and then another free breakfast on Sunday. We went to some Outlet malls by our hotel and did some shopping....a great anniversary surprise - a new Titanium Wedding band for John and an Anniversary ring for me from Zales...
We went back to Silver Dollar City after that and rode more roller coasters....here is a video of John's favorite, the
Wildfire (you have to click on this link to see this thriller ride I survived). Yes, there are 5 upside down loops - a first for me! What a submissive wife will do for her man! Oh, and Jonathan is a new baby since we have been back - no more clinging to mom - it worked!!!
