Branson full day #1

Today was the first full day in Branson...  Woke up this morning to thunder and rain (a little after 7AM).  Got up, looked out the window...promptly crawled back into bed.  :)

Got up again a little after 9AM and began the first full Branson day.  Today was designated as a shopping day, due to the weather.  It was dark and dreary....and rainy...and cold.  I don't know that it got above 45 degrees today (according to the car).  And the wind chill was in the 30's.  And it WAS windy.  So we made the most of it and drove around to stores that I could park in front of.  ha ha!

Tonight was night number 1 for the Oaks.  I have been using a different camera this week, so I didn't take as many pics as I usually do.  Wanted to get used to it and get back to the laptop to see what they looked like. Not much different from my regular camera, I'd say.

There are no scenic pics from today for obvious reasons....but here are a few from tonight's show.  This was the first time I've seen the Boys for 2013.  The set list was much different than usual, because this is their 40th Anniversary tour (and I've been going to see them for 29 years, myself!)...so there are a lot more of the older songs being worked into the shows.  It was a GREAT mix of music tonight...and the crowd seemed to really enjoy it.  Of course half of them probably didn't know that some of those songs hadn't been sung on stage in 20 years....but that's okay.  :)

The view thru the window after I'd parked.  Pretty much what the day looked like all day.

End of night #1

Hopefully the rest of the week's blogs will be more exciting and have more variety of pictures to show...  :)
