City slickers

We went to Silver Dollar City a couple of weeks ago in Branson, Missouri, which is a little over an hour's drive from Eureka Springs. We drove a different way than usual, and ended up on the "Main Drag" of Branson, which looks much like what I imagine Las Vegas does (although I've never been there). There were many shows and attractions with digital signage outside luring passers-by to choose their show over all the other possibilities. Frankly, simply driving by was "show" enough for my kids!

The weather that day was cloudy and it looked like rain, but only rained about fifteen minutes the whole day. The park was very uncrowded and we actually got to ride several rides twice in a row without even waiting in line. The longest we had to wait in line was ten minutes for one ride! That's the way to go - we're planning on hitting Silver Dollar City whenever the weather is slightly crummy.
