October 7, 2015 Branson Landing / Ziplining

It was really nice and quiet at the park last night, but I just couldn't sleep.   

So this morning we drove "downtown" Branson and parked at the Bass Pro Shop parking lot and took the trolley back to Main Street.  The trolley makes 6 stops and is really the way to go.  There is so much traffic on the Highway 76, the main drag, it is really ridiculous.   The trolley was empty almost every time we got on which is really a shame that more people don't use it and get out of their cars.   

We ate breakfast at an old time cafe in downtown and it was very good and very cheap.  Then we walked up and down Main Street a bit and shopped at Dick's 5 & 10.  Crazy crowded dime store with everything you can think of!  Wow not a place for people who don't like tight spaces (Katie) but really fun and lots and lots of kitsch.  They have a little bit of everything in that store.   We then went to Branson Landing which is an outdoor shopping mall built right on Lake Taneycomo.   Really nice place and the water and fire works I bet are beautiful at night.  

Gary went ziplining.   He went three times!   This was a seat you sit in and you zip back and forth across the lake.   He liked it but said he closed his eyes the first time he landed!  Haha!  

Tonight is the Lettermen at the Andy Williams Moon River Theater.   Then we are seeing Oak Ridge Boys and another night the Legends in Concert show.   We are also planning on taking the Branson Scenic Train.   Like I said everything is kitschy but it's a kick.
