Planning a vacation

I have decided that this year we are taking a real family vacation. Before we've taken an overnight trip to Tulsa. We go to the zoo and do a little shopping but this year I want more.

My original thought was Sea World in San Antonio. I know the kids would love this trip and I admit I just love Sea World. This sounds like a great trip, only one problem the drive there. I've been researching other vacation spots around us all day and I think Branson would be a great vacation for us. We can spend 4 days and 3 nights. We'd so Silver Dollar City for 2 days and then maybe some shopping on the 3rd day. The hotel I've picked out has an indoor/outdoor waterpark that would be free to hotel guests. We could do that our very first day there. Now, I just need to run the plans by Cody and then make the reservations. I'm really quite excited and I'm sure the kids will be as well. If this plan works out, then I really need to get my body in shape by then.

I think you'd love it, but I don't think you really need 2 days at SDC.... well, we never do;)

Just south of town is a hatchery. It was cool to take the kids (free) and feed the fish. My kids loved it and again it was FREE!

I've heard the butterfly place is not worth the money.... so skip it. Oh and you hafta Ride the Ducks!!!!!

OK one more....:)

We too were planning Sea World, but with the economy, we may stay close to home again this year. One year we bought season tickets to SDC and went 3-4 times. It is really pretty at Christmas so if you think you may come back get the season passes.... not that much more.

SDC is offering a a second day with the purchase of the first. So, I figured we'd use it because I just don't like to waste anything. I thought about the season passes, but we need to find out what Cody's new school is. The kids would probably love the hatchery and I thought maybe one morning Cody could take the kids fishing.
