From out of the ashes cont.

Branson, Mo. the entertainment capital of the world (apart from Las Vegas). We had heard a lot about this area and decided we would just give it a go.

When we bought our timeshare it was a beautiful 2 bedroom facility so when you trade you are suppose to get something of equal value. This trade was the only one that met the criteria.

It was a beautiful condo....I could have easily just moved it:) 1,221 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, wood burring fireplace, full kitchen, washer & dryer and a large wooden patio deck that was at the top of the trees below. It was also just turning fall so everyday the colors became more and more brilliant. Really enjoyed our stay at the Stone Bridge Village.....

It was an out of the way place and you entered through this little bridge

The club house was just a ways up the street but we didn't realize we could use it until late in the week. Had a wonderful restaurant but do you worry...we found this other little restaurant that had the best corn breaded fried catfish I have ever eaten!!! You don't go hungry in Mo.

We went to at least one show everyday and sometimes two...I could hardly clap anymore!

Two that were favorites were The Duttons

All family, all talented and all diverse!

and Yakov Smirnoff click on his name for a u-tube of him......

He is from Russia and what you will leave with after his show is how proud you are to be an American.....Check out this art he did right after Sept. 11th

Now, I am glad I went but would I go back?

Nope, once was enough will be off to some new territory................

Going out of town................................see you when I get back..................
