The Branson Trip 2014

Here are a few pictures we took on our one week trip up to Branson,MO this past week. We stayed at the "Westgate in the Woods" Resort.  A very high-in community of  condos and cabins.

This is the main building

 

This is the check-in counter

 

This is our rooms and building where we stayed

 

The beautiful grounds

Club House

Big in-door pool

Outdoor pool

Basketball court and sand volleyball court

 

Here are most of the folks who joined our party

 

                     We exchanged gifts on arrival. Chris received a "Mizzou Can Man"

In return Chris gave the men a football mug filled with goodies

 

To celebrate our arrival on day one, we all ate at a famous Steak House

 

The wait was not too long.  Seems everyone was in a good mood

 

Bev sat at the head of the table explaining the options available

 

Another view of Bev briefing everyone on the pros's and cons on the menu items

 

Another unique restaurant was this Chicken restaurant known World Wide

 

We had a great meal, and again, Bev explained the good and bad  items on the menu.

 

The waitress asked if I would take a picture with her, and of course I obliged

 

One evening they (Westgate) invited all guest to a gigantic party

 

This is not shoppers of Wal-Mart but the buffet line where we all got our fill

 

 

Now, pictures of some of the shows we attended

 

This is the theater where we saw the tribute to the Eagles and Journey

Both shows were excellent, a little loud but good.  Our hearing got better in just a few hours

 

This is the Titanic which is really a great place to tour.  We missed this on our visit this time

 

This is the Clay Cooper Theater where you can see the BEST show in Branson

 

This is the entrance to the Show Boat River Cruise

 

This is the paddle wheel boat we took the dinner cruise on

 

These are some really big cat fish hanging around the dock

This is the stage where performers did their thing as we travelled up the river

As always, we got there an hour before dinner and the show.  They serve 770 meals each cruise

This is our terrific server.  She worked like a well oiled machine getting drinks, entrees and desserts out quickly and always with a smile.

After dinner the show began and it was very professional and entertaining.

 

Here is the list of the shows we attended during our week long stay;

 

1. Pierce Arrow (Variety show)  2. Tribute to Abba (Abba's greatest hits)

3. The Duttons (Variety show) 4. Six (Music and comedy)

        5. Tribute to the Eagles(Eagles greatest hits) 6. Showboat River Cruise (Magician and music) 7. The Hughes Brothers (variety and music) 8. Clay Cooper (Best show in Branson) 9.Tribute to Journey (Journeys top hits)

 

 

For our farewell, Chris makes a sign letting us know she is keeping an eye on our condo.

 

When we got home one evening from a show we  opened our blinds to find this lit up sign.  Chris is one awesome, scary Lady.  She makes the trip worth while

 

Here's Ms. Awesome showing off her work.

 

Here we are getting our debriefing from 7 days of fun. What a great time we had and I would personally recommend everyone visit Branson to see some good family entertainment.
