Branson is "Little Boxes Made of Ticky Tack" and lots of traffic. Everything is so spread out that you are dependent on your car or a shuttle service to get most places. In the morning we drove in bumper to bumper traffic to the shopping area called Branson Landing and took the Duck Tour. If you've never done one of these - you should. Most cities with water (lake or river) offer these and it is not your regular city tour. They use WWII amphibious vehicles and each guest gets a duck quacker to hang around their neck. The guide is always funny and encourages the tourists to dance in their seats with loud music and to quack at people you pass.
Jeff and I love the Ducks and quacked along with the kids and driver. The highlight is floating the vehicle in the water and we had a 30 minute ride after we saw the old town of Branson. We had lunch near the water and then headed back to the RV to do a final load of laundry. It wasn't so bad since the swimming pool was right next to the laundry room and we swam and sunbathed while waiting for the washers and dryers to get our clothes clean.
We had dinner a a rib joint and then went to see a show called "SIX" which featured six real brothers singing a cappella. We were skeptical since we had been warned that some of the shows weren't great. Imagine Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, a cowboy version of Medieval Times. Anyway this show rocked us and we even bought a CD to enjoy at home.
