Our trip to Branson, Mo. May 2008

We went to hear Andy Williams sing and what a show that was.

Above is our picture with a life size photo of Andy.


This picture of me are the two stars of the
"Star Spangled Celebration of Broadway" Great music and lovely singing. This woman on the right sang "Over the Rainbow" the best ever. Gramps wanted to see who is more muscular. This young man did all kinds of wonderful acts at the show titled "Acrobats of China" We were amazed of their bicycle tricks, pole climbing, plates spinning, Roller skating on a small round table (two girls) were skating and going round and round.



This man with the guitar sang to us at a breakfast spot in Branson. Great fun and good breakfast.




This act on the right is from the china show and the act was hard to believe. Such strength and timing.


Some of the acrobats of the China Shanghai Circus.











This is on the way in to hear Andy William sing. His theatre seats 2,000 and we were on the 7th row. Gramps worked all this out beforehand. What a guy. We also had dinner just before the show at a place next to Andy William show, it was called "Moon River" restaurant and the food was great.






This young many did a tight rope act and could he ever swing back and forth doing all of his tricks.




Gramps wanted me to take a picture of him with this Indian on a horse. We had lunch at this place, it was just across from where we were staying.













Of course there is always time to go shopping. This picture shows Branson Landing which has about 100 speciality stores. You can just stroll and enjoy the shops and the beauty of the area.













This picture shows where our room was. On the right is the room with a king size bed and we could also enjoy the deck right off our room.












This is what our room looked like inside. It was tastefully decorated. Very comfortable bed.










This is what the place looked like from the street. Very nice.













Of course you know we always have to have some icecream. Very rich icecream and so tasty.

















Dad enjoying the land around the Andy Williams theatre.
