Writing about road trips reminded me of the time we drove down to Branson in south east part of Missouri from when were in Kansas City. Branson is a cute little town, full of county music performance theaters and lots of great places for barbecue food. The hills around Branson are simply beautiful and it’s a superb getaway from both Kansas City and Wichita. I never got to go back there, even though I thought it would be possible since it was quite close, but hope to go there once again.
