Today was our first full day in Branson and we woke up to thunder storms. It always rains when I go to Branson. We got a late start because we were really tired from the drive last night. We just kind of drove around for a little while. We tried to get tickets at a "visitor center" and it was just a time share scam.
We had lunch at Starvin' Marvin's. It was pretty good. It was a buffet and the food was really good. Their blackberry cobbler was EXCELLENT. By the time we were finished eating the rain had slowed down to just sprinkles.
When we left the restaurant we went to The Titanic Museum. I was really afraid that Caleb would be very bored, but he wasn't. They did a good job making sure it is interesting to all age levels. You get a boarding pass before you go in that has the name of someone who was a passenger on The Titanic and a little bit of information on that person. By the time you get to the end of the museum you can find the name of your person and find out if "you" survived or did not when Titanic sank.
Michael is the only one of us that did not survive. He was a 2nd class passenger who was a doctor. Michaela was a stewardess that survived. Caleb and I were both 1st class passengers who survived. I survived even though my husband ran off and left me and my three children to save himself. My children and husband all survived, too.
This afternoon we went down to one of the outlet malls to buy jeans to wear to the show tonight. When we went to buy tickets this morning to Noah, it was very chilly in the building and we didn't bring long pants. So, Michael got jeans at the Levi's store. Michaela and Caleb got jeans at The Children's Place and I got jeans at Eddie Bauer.
The sun came out and it got hot this afternoon. So for about an hour and half the kids went swimming in one of the outdoor pools at our hotel. Michael and I sat and read the visitor guides we'd collected for Branson.
Then, it was time to get ready for the evening. We changed closed and headed out to find something for supper. We ended up eating at Dairy Queen. After we ate we headed to The Sight and Sound Theater where Noah: The Musical is shown. We got there about 45 minutes before the show began and wandered around the building some. We took some pictures.
The play was really good. Caleb got a little antsy before the intermission because it did get a bit long before that break. It was over 2 hours long. I really enjoyed it. I think it got a bit preachy at the end when Jesus came out. His monologue was way too long and was very redundant. Other than that it was enjoyable. The sets are amazing.
