Past Yard Sale Memories

I remember when I was a kid going to a yard sale in Missouri where my aunt lived. We had brought along another aunt and uncle who loved loving for antiques. We found a box and although there were a lot of treasures, there were also things that weren't worth their weight and gold. One of the items was a rubber stamper. It came with an ink pad and I remembered that it stamped dates. For a while it kept me entertained. I used it for everything, including when I played office and school.

Now that I am grown so have stampers! There is so much more you can do with them. You can create a custom rubber stamp to suit your own needs. How insane is that? Now I wonder what the future will bring as far as the office/business world. So very cool.

A Branson, Missouri Getaway.

A while back I talked about a vacation closer to home on my blog. While it may not be my grand island vacation I've always wanted, Branson, Missouri offers a vacation that is closer to home.

Another reason I can easily consider Branson as a next vacation is the fact that I've been there on more than one occasion. Take Silver Dollar City for instance. If you're a family that happens to love theme parks and lives in the area or not! -you're bound to make Silver Dollar City one of your many stops. The Ozark based theme park is not the only attraction in Branson, however.

Branson, Missouri also offers some of the greatest country and western shows right at your front door. Branson is home to legendary stars like the Oakridge Boys, Jim Owen and Mickey Gilley.
Not a country music fan? Don't worry. Branson offers a wide variety of musical entertainment, so there is sure to be something for everyone.

Love Museums? Then, you definitely have to check out the Ripley's Believe it Or Not Museum. That's the one museum I have yet to visit, so it will definitely be one of my first stops on my next visit there. I can't wait!

A Vacation Closer to Home

When we can afford to do so, I'd like to take some other vacations when time permits. I've noticed there are a lot more places that are closer to home that we can vacation to like, Thousand Hills in Branson Missouri.

It's already easy to see that my husband will love it, simply because they have log cabins and are a golfing resort. I'm not fond of either, but I'm familiar with Branson and do know they have some great places to visit and shop at.

Their prices aren't bad either. For a 1 bedroom/1 bath it's $139-189 a night, depending on the season. Their cabins aren't without extras either. They include: swimming pool, jacuzzi, cable, high speed internet, washer/dryer and more.

Need a cabin with more room? Thousand Hills offers larger cabins to accommodate family needs. Not a fan of cabins? Thousand Hills also offers condos for vacationers who prefer something with a little less woods to it.

Anyway we look at it, there's always something enjoyable for everyone in Branson, Missouri and Thousand Hills just allows us to enjoy it that much more.
