The week of Independence Day, Mandy, Christine, Christopher, and I went camping in Branson Missouri. Mandy and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary. We had honeymooned near Branson. Monday was our first full day in Branson and we visited an aquarium and rode the Branson Scenic Railway. On the second day of our vacation, we visited Silver Dollar City. Besides the rides, we saw two very good shows. One was a dog show and the other a science show. On our fourth and final day in Branson, we visited the Tablerock Dam and Visitor’s Center and Fantastic Caverns in nearby Springfield.
