This is a great time of year to start planning a trip in 2007. That's basically what I'm personally doing right now.
As I reflect back over the past year our vacation to Branson Missouri this past spring comes to mind. We had the opportunity to stay at a resort called Sunterra. We stayed in one of their units with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and screened patio. The accomodations were very nice.
Most people know the demographic for people going to Branson is usually a slightly older crowd. We didn't know before arriving that this was also a great place to bring our children.
We did the duck boat tour and it was a blast (a WWII military all terrain vehicle). Everyone on the tour got a quacker to make noise. We rode around the town in our duck boat and quacked at people. The kids were laughing like crazy. Our vehicle drove on trails and then into the water, the kids were amazed. The driver made an announcement would any of the kids like to captain the boat. Both of our kids went up and got their turn (it was a great photo opp). It's a good thing that it doesn't go very fast in the water.
There were a bunch of places to play miniature golf so we picked one with a dinosaur theme. I believe one of them was a pirate theme too. There were tunnels and everything to go through. This was such a great family activity.
Our next activity was going to the Titanic museum. There were many hands-on activities for the kids to do here so we were pleasantly surprised. Things like how long can you keep your hand in this cold water, similar to the temp where the ship sank. There was a piece of a glacier to touch, lifeboats to climb into etc. They had even re-created the grand staircase and it was beautiful. We had a family picture on the stairs, a staff member took our photo. I would go here again someday.
On our last night we went to a dinner show. We went to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. Since most shows started too late for our kids this was the only one we planned on going to during our trip. I noticed the kids were so much into the show that they hardly ate their dinner even though the food was good. It was really a great time and even today many months later the kids still say remember when this happened at the show. It was a great end to our trip.
Want to personalize a vacation package to Branson with flight, hotel, and car rental? Just go to the 'vacations' tab at the top of our website, then 'more package destinations', Branson Missouri. You could even stay where we did at Sunterra Plantation At Fall Creek, it was very nice.
