This morning we got up and got our things packed back into the van. We went to Shoney's for breakfast. It was really good.

After we ate we went down the street to the big read barn gift shop on the strip. Caleb got a baseball cap and I bought a t-shirt and another shot glass. We are coming home with four new shot glasses from The Titanic Museum, Silver Dollar City, The Ducks and Branson.

Then, it was time to head out of Branson. We sat on Highway (parking lot) 76 for over an hour before we finally got to the highway headed north.

We stopped in Springfield before coming home. We bought a cooler and ice to put the taffy in so it would not melt together on the way home or while the van was in the parking lot at Bass Pro Shop.

We ate lunch at Hemingway's. At this point Michael and I were both tired of buffets so we ordered from the menu. I had seafood fettuccine. It was yummy.

Then we wandered around Bass Pro Shop for a while. I got a sweater. Michaela got a top. Caleb got two shirts and Michael got a long sleeved shirt.

The kids tried out the shooting game and then we headed back out to the van. It was time to come home. We got home around 7:20 p.m. after stopping to pick up a pizza at Stefanina's.

After we ate and unpacked everything we went over to Michael's parents' house. We had to give them their taffy and put our suitcases back in storage over there. We stayed and talked for a while.

Now we're home, the kids are in bed and it's time for me to shower and go to bed.
