COUNTRIES VISITED:Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas
PLACES VISITED:Amarillo, Branson, Colorado Springs, Memphis, San Antonio
SUGGESTED DURATION:15 Days
We headed from TX to AR & stayed in a cabin. Next morning we saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris - AR that is (LOL) & stopped at Bass Pro Shop in Memphis, TN, which even has a hotel in it. Then on to Blues City Cafe on Beales Street. Next was Graceland & learning all about "The King". Off to Branson, MO to the Stillwaters Resort. While in Branson, we saw the world's largest toy store, celebrity car museum, Titanic museum, rode mountain coasters, saw the production of Noah, & went to Silver Dollar City Theme Park. Favorites were Mels Hard Luck Cafe where waitresses all sing & Lamberts where they actually throw rolls at you. Then supposed to head to Louisiana but had friends getting married in CO & had asked my hubby to officiate; so, we left Branson & stopped in KS for the night. Next morning, set out for CO Springs for 3 days & enjoyed Manitou Springs, 7 Falls, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, & of course, uniting our friends in holy matrimony. Then, it was back to TX & back to work.
