Because of all the chaos of this past year; mom moving in, traveling for William's competitions, graduations and Matthew's big move, any plans I had to go on a big vacation we shutdown.
So instead of a cruise or a trip to some beach, we took a trip to Branson, Missouri with a layover in Conway, Arkansas for a quick visit with Matthew!
Seeing Matthew was great, but we only really had 6 hours with him over the time we were there... we arrived late on Thursday, where we basically said hi and then went to sleep. On Friday Matthew had to work so we laid around watching TV, went shopping and did some site seeing. When Matt finally got home we went golfing, grabbed some dinner and then headed to bed as we had to be on the road by 7am the next day.
We arrived in Branson just before noon and checked into our free hotel room... yep it was free because to pay for this vacation I signed us up to listen to a 90 minute presentation on "Time Share Ownership"
Saturday, we swam, went mini golfing, rode go-carts and did the Dixie Stampede!!! Sunday morning we went Ziplining and shopped at the mill before we had to arrive for our presentation.
I promised my husband we would never ever ever sign up for one of these again. It wasn't 90 minutes, but more like 3 hours of torture.
We did however, get free tickets to Yokov Circus and we won a 4 day Carnival Cruise... well sorta free - it costs $153 per person, plus tips, plus travel to the port of call and parking, oh and the possibility of added fuel fees if the price of oil goes up!
Monday before we headed back home we went on "The Ducks"
