Day 11: Relaxing 'n Branson

Did not do a lot today. Started today off getting up and having coffee with dad and grandma on the enclosed porch. Rained pretty hard down here with lighting and thunder. Checked the radar back home and wonder if either of the kids had checked the house cellar with all this rain. Does not seem that either have. Asked them both to check on it and let me know.

Everyone is starting to stir now. Michelle made a pretty good breakfast, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, meat and cheese. Mom made some gravy with biscuits and sausage. After breakfast Michelle loaded up the suburban with Breack, Phoenix, Jason and Ryan to search for a couple of "castles" in the Branson area. It got quite. It was very enjoyable.

Mom finally got up from her mid-morning nap. Mom, Mari and I headed to town to get tickets for the Balbnobbers show for tonight. Got the call from truss company that Home Depot uses. They are delivering the trusses on Monday. Confirmed Home Depot will be delivering the materials for the garage. If all goes well and the weather cooperates we will begin building on Monday. Can't wait to have a garage.

Grabbed an ice cream from from Cold Stone Creamer. Tastee.

Then went to the Stone Hill Winery here in Branson. Took the tour and got to sample 13 different wines. I was feeling pretty good. No, I was not drunk and tipsy. They only give you a couple of ounces to try for each wine. I was liking the sweet wines towards the end of the tasting. Between Mari and I we bought 4 bottles to take home to enjoy. Headed back to to the lodge with mom driving. Relaxed until supper time. Had hamburgers and chips.

Went to the show and really enjoyed it. The show started at 7:40pm and did not finish until 10:10pm. Traffic was a pain to get back onto the strip and back to the cabin.

Got back to the cabin and cleaned up the kitchen a little. Got clothes and stuff packed. Mari and I just need to load the car in the morning and we are heading back to Iowa. Looking forward to home. Been gone almost 2 weeks.
