April 27, 2007 Branson

Sunshine! The laundry facilities at the Silver Leaf Resort were beckoning this morning…an opportunity too good to pass up for a couple about to be “on the road again” Saturday morning. Then it was off to SDC to explore. The World Fest continues so we enjoyed a singing/ dancing performance from Costa Rica and an excellent swing group and singer from Russia. SDC is an amazing area of Branson. It has rides, performances that vary depending on time of year, food locations, shops, recreations of house/school from the past, and much more. The grounds are beautifully planted and the whole place is very clean and well-maintained. The evening was spent back in the 50’s…dinner at a 50’s style restaurant meant hamburgers and malts, of course. The show we saw was called “Lost in the 50’s with the Platters”. It was the original Platters group, a “few” years older than when we listened to them in high school, but the voices have maintained their quality level. We have been impressed with the talent at the performances we have seen. In between dinner and the show, we found a Segway place. Segways are one-person scooter-like vehicles that Rog has been researching and dying to try ever since he saw one in Sweden last summer. This was his big opportunity, and he was not disappointed. NO, we are not adding one to the garage!!
