The year is flying by and I’m not a fan.
When I realized that it was ALREADY April, it also hit me that I haven’t traveled at all this year. I try to get out of town often, not because I don’t like it here but because it’s good to get away, relax and get your mind off things. When planning vacations or mini weekend trips, I always try to travel to places that I’ve never been before. I like to venture to new cities and see what they are all about.
After going through our options, my fiance and I have scheduled a weekend trip to Branson, MO. We decided that we would take a road trip to make things more fun. I haven’t been on a road trip in forever so I’m quite excited. Not to mention we get to drive the Ford Fusion Titanium! There are so many amazing features on this car and I can’t wait to try them all out over the weekend.
We have a FULL weekend of events in Branson. Some events that we have planned are taking a zipline tour, visiting the Titanic Museum, Spending a day at Silver Dollar City and enjoying a dinner on a boat cruise. Although that sounds like a lot of things to do, I’m still looking for recommendations from people who have been there! What restaurants should we eat at (or avoid)? Are there any awesome stops from Dallas to Branson that we need to make (think Roadside Attractions)? Is there any attractions that are a MUST see when we are there?
As you can tell, I’m looking for any info that you have about Branson that would be helpful! Once I return, I’ll be sharing all about my trip so stay tuned!
Thanks in advance for the recommendations!
I wonder if that water show that we use to go to is still there??
I’ve never been there, but I am sure you will find lots of stuff to do. Maybe ask the hotel concierge? If not, I bet if you Google it, you will find lots of stuff.
That car looks NICE! I have never been to Branson, so can’t give you any recommendations, but I am sure you’ll have an awesome time!
Following this because my husband and I are planning on taking a last minute trip before the baby comes, I am looking for something Southwest flies nonstop to (which isn’t much now that we haven’t already exhausted but soon to change!) since I am an Employee and can fly standby. Branson looks so pretty!!
I’ve heard great things about Branson, but can’t remember enough of the details to be much help. We plan to go, one day. Have fun.
This sounds so fun! I wanna go vip lining! 🙂
my parents live in St ‘ Louis, but I don’t know much else about MO at all. I hope you get some suggestions.
have lots of fun! we’ve not been to branson but have heard there’s TONS to do there!
What a beautiful car! I’ve driving the Fusion Energi recently and it was awesome!
I’ve never been there before. In that car though, I’d just cruise the city!
What a sweet ride! Have a great trip!
First, that’s a sweet car – I can’t wait to hear about how much you loved it! Second, I’ve never been to Branson so I’m definitely going to be reading your comments and filing the ideas away for a possible future road trip 🙂
Oh how fun! I’ve heard so many great things about Branson and I love a good road trip! I wish I had some recommendations, can’t wait to hear about your awesome weekend vacay!
Great post! We have been trying to take our son across America, this will be one of our stops thanks to this information!
thanks,
MItch
I just test drove the Escape and loved it! While I never been to Branson, I know you’ll just love the new Ford Fusion Titanium!
Branson is a place I have only read about online. I would love to be able to see it in person one day.
Avoid Lone Star Steakhouse at all costs. Last time I went to the Branson one, my steak was RAW in the middle.
Have fun!! I have never been there but it’s not too far so it’s on our list! I can’t wait to see what you find!
I’ve never been to Branson…so I have no ideas. I’d probably put out a question on my FB page:)
Wow, that’s a hot car! Looks to be a great road trip!
I’ve never been to Branson before. The Hubs and I though would love to go there sometime, but I’m sure our kidlets wouldn’t agree!
I’m sure that you had a great time! I try to travel as much as I can, but sometimes my budget prevents me from doing it. So I would say it is better to work & earn today then relax later. 🙂
I’ve not been to Branson but it looks like you’ll have an amazing trip! Enjoy!
I haven’t been there yet, so I’ll actually be looking to YOU for advice. I can’t wait to hear about it!
The Titanic museum is going to be amazing! I went to a seasonal Titanic exhibit they had here at our local museum and it was incredible. I learned so much and was totally fascinated by all of the treasures they found after the ship sunk.
I bet it’ll be fun. My in-laws had a timeshare there they liked it so much. 🙂
Well, that’s a HOT car! I’ve never been to Branson, but I’ve heard good things. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never been. My grandparents have been a few times and always enjoy themselves.
That car is gorgeous! I am so jealous of you getting to see the Titanic Museum, I’d love to see that.
