Thinking About Some Holiday Travel

Being that the holidays are upon us, what better time than to write about some of the things I want to do this holiday season. One of the things I really want to do is travel. I have done a little traveling during the holidays in the past, but not much. Winter is my favorite time to travel up north, though because of the snow. We don’t get a lot of that around here.
A winter vacation is well deserved for us. Eric and I have both been working hard and a friend of mine had said he wanted to take a sort of mini vacation and would be willing to split the cost with us. The first place that came to mind when I thought of vacationing is Branson, Missouri. Our family had their family reunion there over the summer and it was so much fun then.
There are some really awesome winter packages offered this year both the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel that I’d absolutely love to check out. The Hiltons of Branson put together some really awesome themed packages this time of year.
The "It’s a Wonderful Life" package runs from November 15 through December 23 and offers shopping, spa treatments, entertainment and tons of discounts at many of the local shops and restaurants for starting at $329 a night. The whole deal sounds wonderful, but I’m not sure Eric would like that one as much. There’s also the "Santa’s Coming to Town" package for those with kids (me). That one also runs from November 15 through December 23, which is good for me because although I do want to travel I’d like to be home for Christmas. With this themed package children get to enjoy Story Time with Mrs. Claus and then Santa will personally deliver milk, cookies and presents to the guest’s rooms. This one is a bit cheaper too, starting at $189 per night, so it’s more affordable.
Branson is a really fun place to visit. When I went there last we got to check out several neat places. We visited a wax museum, which was cool because some of those things actually looked so real. I also loved the Titanic museum and Silver Dollar City which is a really fun theme park. Next time we visit Branson, whether it is actually this winter or otherwise I plan on taking Eric on the Ride the Duck Tour. It’s cool because you ride on this bus like vehicle through the city and then suddenly the vehicle drives right into the water and becomes a boat! I just think he’d love that so much.
Anyway, I’m not 100% that we’re going to go there this year but I do know that I want to go somewhere or do something, just to get away for a bit. It’s been a real hectic year.
