Babymoon!

Last weekend, Grant and I took some time off to Branson! When we found out we were expecting, a final getaway with just the two of us was a top priority. With travel plans and visitors already scheduled through the rest of the summer and several travel/holiday plans for November and December, we decided that October was the month to go. We toyed with several ideas, finally deciding to stay near home.

Branson kept us busy all weekend. We arrived on Thursday night and left Sunday after lunch. The place we stayed was a condo resort with a lot of neat activities - an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, movie rentals, sand volleyball court, horseshoes, a mini golf course, and more - all for free! Our room was like a standard hotel room, but it had a mini kitchen area and a screened in porch with a ceiling fan. We really enjoyed our accomodations! It was so nice to take a nap with the breeze blowing in through open windows one afternoon.

One of the beautiful horses!

Joseph at the Sight and Sound Theatre was the highlight of our trip. It was the Bible story of Joseph with some creative plot added. The theatre itself was really neat, and the show was spectacular. I enjoyed the fact that the show was not only entertaining, but challenging and inspiring. The Dixie Stampede was the other show we saw. It was a lot of fun and, of course, we enjoyed the food!

Other than those things, we did a little shopping, walked around Branson Landing (an open air shopping and restaurant development), and ate at a fancy Mexican restaurant called Cantina Laredo. The queso was to die for!

All in all, we enjoyed a relaxing weekend, overall spectacular weather, and each other's company. It was nice to get out of the construction zone (aka our home) for a few days and refresh! We're one step closer to bringing this baby home with us :)

Love, the George family
