A couple weekends ago, we headed out of town right after the kids got out of school on Friday and headed to spend the night in Branson.
First stop: We went straight to Silver Dollar City to see the lights!
We always get season passes to SDC, but the last time we made the trip to see the lights was when Gracie was 1. We were WAY overdue for a trip to see all the Christmas beauty!
Here's me and the kiddos. It was pretty cold (below 30 degrees), but we bundled up really well and we were all quite comfortable the whole night.

Gracie rode the carousel.
We had a yummy room service breakfast and lounged around the room for a couple hours before checking out and heading to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.
Here's Rhett on a homemade flying contraption.

We really enjoyed Ripley's and stayed for about 2 hours. We had a couple hours left before we needed to head back home, so we opted to check out the Titanic museum as well.
We weren't allowed to take any pictures in the museum, but it was great! We all really enjoyed it! We spent 2 hours there and it was an environment where the kids needed to be very well behaved and quiet. I was so proud of them! After spending 4 straight hours walking around museums, they were absolutely wonderful. The Titanic museum was very educational and informative and it was a place that Jason and I could've probably spent all day in really looking at and reading every detail, but we needed to head out, so we enjoyed it as much as we could in the time that we had.
We were only away for about 25 hours, but it felt like we were gone much longer than that. We all needed a little getaway and came back refreshed and ready to get back into our normal routine.
