Branson 2018: Day 1

Ben took the day off and we packed up the car and then made the 3 hour drive to Branson. We arrived just in time for lunch at Vaskin's Deli where they had some gluten-free options for us.

We had just enough time to check into our hotel and then it was time to head over to the Sight and Sound Theater.

At the last show we attended, we had balcony seats and we really enjoyed those because we could see the side stages really well. This year we ended up with aisle seats down at the very front and they were so awesome! Gabe was able to sit on the end so had better visibility and he got to see the animals and actors up close whenever they'd come and go down the aisle. It was so fun!

I wasn't sure what to expect from the story because Samson is not who I think of when I think of great Bible heroes. But it was very, very well done. Inspiring and brought us to tears at the end. I love seeing the Bible brought to life!

We ate dinner at Center Stage where live music was playing and then we finished with a coffee at the attached cafe. After that we went back to the hotel to wind down and tuck in for the night.

Our first day in Branson was perfect: good show, good food, and in bed early!
