The Best Shows in Branson

I was so excited when Keith finally agreed to take time off work and travel to Branson with me! I’ve discovered people either love Branson or don’t know about Branson. I want to help change that because I fell in love with Branson, Missouri!! I will be visiting again, and with the kids next time…

How to Make the Most of a Visit to Tulsa

Keith and I recently spent several days in Branson, Missouri, but traveling there took a bit of planning. The airport in Branson isn’t the cheapest to fly into, so we had to choose between St. Louis, Little Rock and Tulsa. All three airports are a three hour drive to Branson. We decided to fly in…

16 Reasons to Love The Ridge Tahoe Resort

One thing I love about my kids’ school is the fall and winter break that most schools don’t get. We have a full week in September and in February. I prefer to vacation when the rest of the world isn’t vacationing – it means less crowds! We spent our winter break at the absolute perfect…

Pros and Cons for the 2017 Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon has been my dad’s dream car for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure why he’s never bitten the bullet and gotten himself one, but after test driving the 2017 Toyota Avalon, I can see why anyone would want one! I would own one for myself except for the…

Reasons to Choose The Vendue Hotel in Charleston

Picking the perfect hotel is one of the most difficult parts of travel planning, in my opinion. I always want my hotel to be nice, comfortable, affordable and in the perfect location. If I can at least get three out of four of my criteria then I’m happy as a clam. When planning my first…
