of a vacation.  With my car troubles pending, I just dream of getting away (and this lottery ticket being a winning lottery ticket here in about an hour and a half when the numbers are pulled).  One place I’ve never been is Branson.  I’ve never even considered Branson as a vacation destination for my family really, but after looking over the information today when asked to review it, I have to admit that I might just have to give it a second glance. In particular, I was asked to look at the  Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. I’m actually already a Hilton fan as we stay at Hilton’s on school trips when I get to choose the hotel.  After going to the Hilton site and looking at the images of the suites and condos, I honestly think we could (and would happily) live in them – forget vacation!   They are so nice! They include a fully equipped kitchen, workstations with granite counter tops and ergonomic desk chairs, 32-inch LCD flat panel TV, two dual-line phones, and wired and wireless high-speed Internet access.

But maybe even more than the awesome hotels, I was amazed at how much there is to do in Branson. I had no idea. Just to name a few of the BIGGEST attractions, there are 49 theatres, outlet malls, golf courses, Table Rock Lake, Silver Dollar City, AND Celebration City.  That’s much more than we could ever accomplish on a vacation – I think Branson could be somewhat like Disney and require a trip or two back to even begin to do everything.

If you are like me and have never considered Branson as a vacation destination, I suggest you take a look. I’ve actually already emailed a friend who talked about us going on a trip to see what she thinks.
