Day 5 - A day in Branson, MO
Well, we started off the day by sleeping in a little. We were up late last night finding an internet connection to post and upload our pictures. Our first task for the day was to pick up the tickets for the two shows we’d scheduled to see today.
Problem. We went up to the Americana Theater where the “Stuck on the 70’s” show is playing. See the sign out front… “Kris, why’s it say ‘Stuck on the 70’s, welcome back on Sep 3?’ It’s the 2nd…” Went inside, and handed in my ticket voucher - didn’t have a problem at all last night, the process took like a minute. The girl says, “We don’t have a show tonight, it’s been on the schedule since the beginning of the year.” Obviously, I’d bought tickets!!! I was freaked out, but the whole thing got cleared up, unfortunately we wouldn’t get to see that show, but my money was refunded.
We went to get the tickets for our 8pm show. I thought it was going to be easy. Maybe. C’mon!!! They couldn’t find my name in the computer. “No, I’m not Joyce!” My parents were here last year! They checked seat by seat. They looked for new seats for us. Finally, the other girl got the faxes, and found my reservation. My name was spelled wrong, but we got our tickets - great seats.
We stopped for lunch, did some shopping, stopped to see the Yakov Theater and his artwork, and the Shoji Tabuchi Theater, and the bathrooms. Yup, there was a pool table in the men’s room! (See the pics in our gallery.) We took some time to relax and go swimming in the pool before dinner and the show.
“The Haygoods” were good. Definately very talented. But also kind of creepy. They’re all about god, family, and country. Right. I just feel bad for some of the younger kids because they were born into the show the older ones were already a part of. They also perform almost every single night (ok, not Tuesdays - for some reason). I wouldn’t be able to do that.
Sigh. Off to pack, trip plan, and sleep, again.
Kris and I also made up a song - “Branson, Branson, Branson…Branson, Branson, Branson…” We’ll have to post a video of us singing.
