Day 57 - Branson, Missouri

Today we traveled to Branson...the entertainment mecca of the Ozarks.  It was a relatively quick trip of about 100 miles.

We turned south out of Springfield and ran into the hills and valleys after several days of flat desert and plains.

We stopped at a "Branson Visitor Center" looking for travel information.


There's not much travel information there.  It's a place that sells show and attraction tickets.  Anything else and they were useless.  We had our show reservations already.

So we continued on to Branson, stopped at the downtown Branson Travel Office to pick up our show tickets then found the local...

...you guessed it, quilt shop!

This place was large.

I was impressed with all the quilts hanging around the rafters.  That's the stuff I go in for.  Many of these quilts are really nice.  Here's a sampling.



Last but not least...

We arrived at the RV park a few miles away, had lunch, hopped an Uber ride to the theater and caught a 5:00 pm show.  

It reminded us of sitting in a cruise ship theater waiting for a show.  The only difference was the curtain wasn't swaying with the movement of the ship.

The show was real good, but not quite what I expected.  I was expecting a group kind of imitating the ABBA group.  This was just four singers performing ABBA music.  It lasted about two hours.

We're here for a few more days and have three more shows booked.  I think they'll be a bit more of a production, but time will tell.  

In the meantime, we're hunkered down in the RV tonight waiting for the rain to pass.  All that Oklahoma storminess has caught up to us again.
