This past weekend was definitely not relaxing. It was the weekend for the school musical, and we spent a lot of time at the school helping out. Now that our son has graduated, you'd think we wouldn't be involved any more, but it just doesn't seem to work that way. Seriously, it would be a shame for the kids to put all that work into the production and then not be heard during the show, so Jeffrey will probably help with the sound as often as he can - though his goal is to get the school set up with some of their own equipment and a knowledge of how to use it so that they won't need him anymore. We'll see how that works out.
After a busy weekend like that, I really would love to have a relaxing weekend to look forward to. I was scrolling through some of these special packages at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing, and the Romance Package and Bed & Breakfast Package both sound like they'd be quite relaxing. The only problem is that there's so much to do in Branson, that just getting away for some relaxation would seem like such a waste. I'd want to get out and do some stuff - see some shows (there are 49 live entertainment theaters in Branson), visit some museums, theme parks, and have dinner and a show on a showboat, just for starters. I really want to try out the zip lines, too.
The Fall in the City Package at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel sounds like just the package for seeing a bit of everything Branson has to offer. It starts at $309.50/night with a two-night minimum stay, and includes two tickets on the Showboat Branson Belle for dinner and the show, two adult tickets to Silver Dollar City, a 50th Anniversary Silver Dollar City Souvenir Book and a $25 hotel food and beverage credit! Definitely not relaxing, but it certainly sounds like fun. I really want to visit Silver Dollar City one of these days, so that would be perfect, especially with the whole anniversary thing going on. And if you're into shopping, there's a Shopping Package that includes deluxe accommodations, breakfast, and a gift card to the outlet mall. I don't really love shopping, but I do enjoy a good outlet mall!
One of these days, I really want to get away for some fun in Branson. I'm pretty sure it won't be very relaxing, because we'll be too busy having a good time. If you've been to Branson, let me know what your favorite things are to do there - so we don't miss anything.
