Independence, Missouri

Day 4: (July 12, 2009)

We woke up this morning to a down pour of rain. But we didn't let the rain slow us down. We loaded the car up, grabbed some breakfast on the road and drove to Independence, MO. We were able to visit the LDS Visitor Center here. When we left the visitor center we stopped for lunch and then continued on to Liberty, MO where we visited Liberty Jail. After visiting the jail we journeyed on to Far West and then on into Tom Sawyer Country in Hannibal, MO. It was evening time when we got to Hannibal and we were all so tired & hungry that we just wanted to eat and go to sleep.

The Fun Begins...

Day 3: (July 11, 2009)

We got up this morning and Tami fixed us pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon for us to eat before we continued on our journey. This was by far the best continental breakfast we had on our trip. After breakfast we loaded up the car and headed to Branson, MO. We got in Branson and decided we better get busy and do some stuff because we only had the afternoon and evening to play. We found our hotel and checked in. Then we went to an out-let mall and did some shopping. After our shopping spree we visited the wax museum. Then it was off to dinner and to the Jim Stafford Show. The show was great! Jim Stafford was hilarious and had us laughing so hard.

I would love to come back to Branson someday and enjoy more of the shows and festivities offered here.

Catchin' Up...more of July 2009

I have been a slacker on this bloggin' thing. So I am playing catch up today.

Day 1: The Journey Begins (July 9, 2009)
Left NM bright and early at 5:45am and drove all day to Garden City, KS. Garden City isn't exciting place, nothing to do there. So we got our hotel room, had dinner and went to bed so we could get up and drive some more the next day.

Day 2: (July 10, 2009)

We traveled through the state of Kansas up to Independence. We spent the afternoon and evening here. We stayed at Mary's nieces house. We had visiting and playing Rock Band on the Wii.
