Awake: 5:55am Temp 56 sleep 6+28 sunny overnight @ Branson, MO.
Gary & I talk the walk & then walk the walk for a good (45) min. Back in our motorhome, Mark returns my call from yesterday; yes, they are in Branson with a full schedule of seeing (8) shows in (2) days. We didn’t plan on a rendezvous, knowing that we both will be busy doing our own thing, so we just discuss the shows we’ve seen so far.
Today’s schedule has us departing @ 9:30am for Dick Clark’s American Bandstand for lunch & the (57) Heaven Museum. Such a deal it was; seeing almost every model of each 1957 car & pickup truck made in the USA was a real eye opener. Of course they were all in show room condition & just waiting to be photographed. The displays also included memorabilia featuring a Drive-in, Gas station, Dealership displays & a lot more. Our Sony camera was busy.
@ lunch we got to know Wayne & Sandy from Wyoming a lot better; in fact, I answered too many questions & got behind with my meal & my drink; not good….my mother always taught me to clean off my plate before having dessert…which I violated.
Upon our return to the campground, we tour Bob & Susan’s new & different floor plan motorhome. Since we 1st met Bob in 2003, he has designed & had Newell build (3) different motorhomes; all very impressive floor plans & innovated with ideas some people have copied.
The afternoon is a little windy so I climb the ladder & sweep off leaves & acorns from our roof & slides.
4:00pm cocktails & appetizers @ the clubhouse & then we depart @ 4:45 pm for dinner @ the “Chateau on the Lake.” Nice place; food was buffet style & top notch. We enjoyed not only the food & ambiance, but also the (5) other people @ our table who kept us well entertained & smiling.
After our dinner, we were bused to the Shanghai Circus show; how can those Chinese girls be so triple jointed & coordinated? They are amazing but we have both seen the Chinese acrobats in action before so their stunts didn’t scare us in the least. On the other hand, those thunder drums were something else!
It’s late & we are tired so little TV tonight.
Lights out: 11:10pm
