Spring Break to Branson, Missouri on a Budget


This winter in Iowa has been one of the longest ever. We have had more snow than we've had in over 20 years and a lot of the bad weather happened on the weekends, which just made for more cabin fever. When we were in the depths of it, I thought forward to Spring Breaking really wishing we could do something fun. A beach sounded fantastic, but it wasn't in the cards with our budget. Instead, we looked at Google Maps, drug southward from Iowa, and landed on Branson. Neither of us had ever been to Branson before, but we figured being 6 hours south, it had to be a little warmer than we would be in March and so we booked three nights in a hotel with a water park and called it a trip!

We got some more snow last week, ugh, but Calvin and I had a fun time scooping off the garage. Since this pictures, the temps have risen and it's rained, so the snow piles in our front yard that used to be multiple feet high are almost gone! BUT some areas of our state and surrounding are experiencing flooding. I'm praying it doesn't cause too much damage.
