9/2-9/9 Branson Stagecoach, Branson, MO

Had a great time here, as our friend Barb drove through on her way from Memphis to Kansas City!  We went to the Grand Jubilee Show, and were favorably impressed.  We also went into the lake on the ducks!  We quacked the whole way, as we got some very stale jokes from the tour guide.  On the island in the lake are a lot of WW2 vehicles and he was very informative in telling us what they were and what they were used for.

After Barb left, Steve and Cathy boarded the Showboat Branson Belle for the dinner cruise.  Of course it was raining and pitch black, so it seemed just like any other dinner show.  We also saw the Shanghai Acrobats!  They were fun to watch.  Found out they are only here for 1 year, and then they all have to go back to China, to be replace by another bunch.

Also went shopping in the outlet mall!  One whole mall is now empty except for the Crocs store, which will be moving as soon as their new space is ready.  Found out that the city bought the whole property, but don't know what they are going to do with it.
