See ya Branson

Driving into Branson on Friday, August 26, LW pondered whether we had made a mistake booking a condo for 3 nights. Would there be enough to stay busy for 3 days? Ha! You could stay here a month and not see or experience everything! Figuring that out, we had to be slightly more selective. First we drove around town. Here's the fun we had.
Mini golf at Shoot for the Stars. It highlighted Hollywood landmarks. LW beat me of course.

We spent several hours reading about and experiencing the Titanic. My favorite parts: receiving the bio of a passenger and finding out at the end if he/she survived or perished.

There was a bucket of water in which you could submerge your hand to see how long you could withstand the cold. It was 28 degrees, meant to simulate the ocean water that night.
There were 3 decks sloped at various angles to simulate the sinking. I could not even get up the third one, the steepest at 45 degrees.
Then there was the Grand Staircase. We were able to walk up and down it. They also had Leonardo DiCaprio's costume from the movie. There were priceless artifacts including Madeleine Aster's life vest.  This attraction may be my favorite thing in Branson.

We also saw 2 shows. Hammers Unbelievable Variety Show and Legends. The variety show included magic, a singing impersonator, and acrobatics. Legends featured Johnny Cash, the Blue Brothers, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Michael Jackson and Elvis.

So much to see and do here that it is a place we have added to our list of "need to return." Onward to Kansas City for 5 days.
