A beautiful morning on this crisp first day of Fall....sunshine and 40ish, but warmed up to 73!
I had worked on the blog off and on yesterday but had several paragraphs down below to insert later....well, at midnight, they were long forgotten so hoping all is back in order after I updated this morning! Good night's sleep and we are ready to take on our last day in Branson. Mark was up earlier and picked up some Zyrtec (staying ahead of a possible cold)? He brought coffees back from Ground Up and later we walked uptown to The Branson Cafe for breakfast. Good home cookin'.
And then we were off on this spectacular day. The walkway along Taneycomo Lake was so pleasant. I checked out a few shops, we had ice cream at Marble Stone Creamery (lunch) and finally back to hotel to rest. Hate to be inside on this gorgeous day, but the feet needed a break.
At 5:15 we were off to our dinner show at Dolly Parton's Stampede Show. We were in a huge arena and immediately served drinks (no alcohol) with a delicious creamy vegetable soup, rotisserie chicken, pork loin, 1/2 herb/basted potato, corn on the cob, biscuit and then warm apple turnovers. The show was fast and action packed with live buffalo, Texas longhorns, pigs, chickens, dogs, and lots of horses, dancers, costumes, etc. Our favorite was the grand finale when 10 horses came out bedecked in red, white and blue, their riders in glittery lit-up costumes each holding a large American flag and Dolly singing "America"!
The dinner/show only lasted 1.5 hrs and then rode the bus back to the hotel. Even though the night was young, most everyone was tired and all heading home tomorrow. Lots of good bye hugs and happy memories of the past 3 days. Although the group was small, it was nice to be more intimate and really get to visit with everyone.
