I wish that Afton could remember all of the adventures that we have taken her on.
We took a vacation!
It was quite spectacular to get out and have absolutely nothing to do.
No phone calls to answer, no e-mails to check, no fires to put out.
We started in Eureka Springs. The views were quite amazing.
We checked out the glass chapel. As I'm writing this I have totally forgotten it's actual name. :-/
On the way out of Eureka and on to Branson we stopped in at Cosmic Cavern.
It had 2 bottomless lakes that were quite pretty.
Todd wore Afton to insure maximum safety. ;-)
When we got to our 'hotel' we were happily surprised to find that we were actually staying in a condo out in the middle of nowhere. It was so very quiet.
We could hear the crickets and frogs in the evenings, something we haven't heard since we sold our house in the country.
We went to the Dixie Stampede the evening we got to Branson.
We didn't take any pictures. :-(
It was very entertaining.
However, it was late in the evening and so we were pretty busy keeping Afton happy.
The first full day we were in Branson we went to Silver Dollar City.
Once again, we didn't take any pictures. :-(
Have you ever been to Marvel Cave in Silver Dollar City?
A-MA-ZING!
It was sooo cool, not to mention free.
When you have a baby you don't get to ride many rides.
So we walked around and shopped and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
That was all we did that day. It was exhausting.
Afton LOVES driving!
Driving a Duck!
Well worth the money.
Fun for the whole family.
We also went to the Titanic Museum and Downtown for shopping and food.
Bradford B&B
Relaxing for the whole family.
Lunch with friends on the way out.
Etc., Etc.
We crossed this bridge on the way home and at the end of it there was a sign that read, "You are now entering Nostalgia."
Quite fitting for the end of our journey.
nostalgia |näˈstaljə, nə-|nouna sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations
