We started a little tradition with my husband’s family where we take a trip every year around Christmas. Last year we went to Disney World and this year we stayed much closer to home and headed to Branson. I posted about our Summer Trip to Branson last year and the city is so much different in the summer than it is in the winter. One of the main attractions in Branson is Silver Dollar City, and they do a huge Christmas celebration but we opted out this time since it’s outdoors and temperatures were in the single digits. I’m so glad we decided not to it was so painfully cold. J stayed behind to…

Summertime in Branson
I just love Branson. I’ve gone several times with family and friends and always have a blast. In fact, Mrs. Bojangles and I took a few trips to Branson way back in our childfree days. A few months ago my work had a silent auction fundraiser and I bid on and won a Branson package. Ben was so excited to go on a mini vacation and what better time since Summer is coming to an end. J had to work so my parents tagged along and off we went. We left Friday afternoon and made the nearly 4 hour car ride down to Branson. Ben was so good in the car watching…
