Branson: Day 5

Monday (7/11/11)

Day 5 was spent packing and driving home! Once again Brinley woke us up early, although not quite as early as every other day! We all got around and packed up the Tahoe and headed for home. We didn't go home the same way we came. However the view was very much the same until we got farther west.

We decided to go through Springfield because I wanted to eat at Lambert's which is just a few miles south of Springfield. When we go there isn't wasn't quite lunch time so we decided to head on north and go to Bass Pro in Springfield. This is the Granddaddy of them all!

Inside there was a NASCAR race car that Dale Earnhardt Sr. drove during the 1998 Winston All-Star race. This was not a replica/show car. It was the real deal!

There were lots of fish tanks and Brinley really enjoyed watching them. She stood at this one for a long time and then decided daddy needed to see them too, so she went and got him! This girl loves the outdoors.

After Bass Pro we headed back to Lambert's. Home of the "throwed rolls"! If you haven't eaten here you are missing out. This place is yummy. Their rolls are to die for and they throw them at you when you want one. They have pass arounds that everyone gets to enjoy and their portions are way to much but you just can't help yourself. Greg and his parents had never been there before and they enjoyed it.

Next stop Oklahoma!! It was long drive but we made it and it felt so good to be back home, well almost! HaHa

After entering Oklahoma we had to make a stop at the McDonald's over the road. Brinley needed a Strawberry Banana Smoothie and we all needed to take a bathroom break.

It was nice to finally be home. There is nothing like sleeping in your own bed. Although it was also nice to get away. I think we all enjoyed our vacation and are not ready to get back to reality. Who am I kidding?! My reality is a vacation, at least until school starts back up again it is! HaHa! I am looking forward to spending the rest of my summer with B and not so much looking forward to having to go back to work and leave her with a sitter. But such is life!
