Branson Weekend

Friday afternoon we went to Branson.  We love going there as a family to get away from the stresses of life.  We had a really good time!
We stayed at the Hilton at the Landing.  We were able to step out of our hotel and be at Cantina Larado in about 30 seconds.  Friday night, I had THE BEST dinner I have EVER had!!!!!  Nothing could ever top it!  I got a thin cut steak with bacon wrapped shrimp.  Their chips and salsa is the best in the world.  I wanted to eat there again Saturday but I think my family thought I had lost my mind.  I am trying to plan when I can get back to that restuarant again.
After we ate, I could barely walk, but we walked around the mall.  I found a necklace at Francesca's that I thought matched a shirt that I had brought to wear on Saturday.  I was pretty sure it matched, but wanted to make sure it was right for the shirt.  I planned to go back right when they opened Saturday morning with the blue shirt on.  Well,  Saturday it was pouring down rain.  We had no umbrella and it is an outdoor mall.  I had a crazy thought, " I will send Steve, in the rain, to get the necklace."  Bright idea.  Steve is so good to me and he agreed to go.  I had him look at my shirt for a long time to get the color engraved in his head.  I told him exactly where is was, how much it cost and told him they only had two of them.
You see the writing on the wall don't you?
Steve went in and told the girl that he wanted to get his wife a blue necklace.  Well, they had about 100 blue necklaces in the store.  He was texting me pictures, calling me, the girl was talking to me.  BUT,  there was NO WAY I was walking in the rain to see for myself.
Steve was mad.
I was mad.
He came back to the hotel soaking wet........no necklace and that was just as well.


Moving on......
We went to the Tanger Outlet mall and got the girls some long awaited Disney dresses.  They are soo soooo proud of them.

Okay, I'm laughing about the necklace story! You are so funny.

I love Cantina Laredo and the meal you're describing is the meal Alex always gets! We love eating there.

We'll be in Branson in a couple of weeks...maybe we should stay at the Landing too! :)

LOL about the necklace! Never been to Branson before but we're planning on it someday, we were thinking about going but it was going to be too hot so we ended up going to GA instead.

Did you think about having Steve take the shirt with him? Or snap a photo with your cell next time.

We were in Branson yesterday and had lunch at Cantina Laredo. My Enchalaida Veracruz (sp?) was about the best thing I ever have had! I eat it every time we go! Love the girls in their new dresses! Such fun!! Sorry about the necklace. I got a new top and tried on 10 pairs of pants trying to match it to no avail!! Oh well! Women have such problems!! :)

That necklace story is hilarious - sounds like the sort of silly I'd do!
