Okay, we have approximately 6 inches of snow on the ground, traffic is slowed and school has been canceled. I am inside going stir crazy. All I want to do is sleep. I have an idea to remedy this situation. If I am going to be where it snows, I’ll go to Branson where I can sit in a hot tub, visit and eat at beautiful restaurants and be entertained by famous entertainers each night.

Because I write reviews for my blog, I have done research on places to stay and still think that the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is my favorite for hospitality. The Hilton Promenade and Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel both feature the best of the best when it comes to quality rooms, location and amenities.

During the summer months, guests can find plenty to do by participating in outdoor activities such as visiting the arts and crafts shops, hiking, and many other interesting activities that the whole family can enjoy. Amazingly, Branson is a fun place to be during the winter months too. I say amazingly because it is hard for me to imagine being anywhere and enjoying snow. LOL I think I might get an attitude adjustment in Branson. Just take me to the spa and watch me smile.

My dream of the Norman Rockwell Christmas would begin with a stay in the Ozark Mountains. While I doubt the weather in December would be suited for popular Ozark sports like caving and trout fishing, the beauty of being in the mountains would draw me in. I can imagine my family sitting in front of a big stone fireplace at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing.

This beautiful hotel complex offers the relaxing yet exciting and fun getaway most of us enjoy. I love the outlet shopping available in the shopping district and of course, the shows are fantastic. You can be as mobile as you want to be when you vacation in Branson. Personally, I would love to lounge around, read a book or get a fabulous spa treatment at Aspire Medical Spa.

Running through Dec 23, the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing are offering special holiday packages that include milk and cookies and story time with Santa and Mrs. Claus! Can you imagine the fun of experiencing these fun getaways? Can you see the looks on a young child’s face? Check out these special offerings and give your family a memory that will last a lifetime.

I just read on someone’s blog that there are only 85 days left until Christmas! E gads, that is a short amount of time. I am just getting out my fall decorations and putting the fourth of July patriotic stuff away. I don’t even want to think about shopping for Christmas gifts! Thank goodness, we have been invited to our son and daughter in-law’s house for Thanksgiving dinner.

I never have felt comfortable fixing Thanksgiving dinner. There are so many dishes that are sentimental to me for that dinner. I always think I have to have a turkey, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie. They are all dishes that take a while to make. I want to buy them ahead and feel relaxed at dinner. Instead, I find myself stressed because I don’t know if I am making things the way they should be made. Understand?

I would love to take advantage of the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel‘s Cooking School Weekend. Can you imagine how much fun and informative that weekend would be? Hilton’s chef, Chef Nathan Read, will be giving a cooking demonstration. The schooling also includes learning how to cook a lavish four-course dinner and how to match up wines to the dishes served. This type of instruction would certainly give me the confidence needed to cook a holiday dinner.

This would be a great package for hubby and I to take advantage of. For one thing, we need a getaway. For another, the school will be held October 16th and 17th, which is the most beautiful time to visit Branson. The cost of just $398.00 plus tax is certainly reasonable for such deluxe accommodations. I am going to research this a bit more! You should take a look at this great package!

Are you getting bored this summer? Would you like to take a family vacation that will take you back to the simple times? Visiting Branson is a fun way to enjoy spectacular shows like Presleys’ Country Jubilee. The Jubilee slapstick will have you laughing so hard, your sides will hurt. Folks, this is great family entertainment from the downright hilarious skits to the gospel influence.

Speaking of gospel entertainment, the 1st Annual Branson Gospel Music Convention, is coming to Branson July 14 to 17. The convention will be held at the Branson Convention Center, which is adjacent to the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. Groups featured include The Blackwood Quartet, The Chuck Wagon Gang, Florida Boys, The Stamps, and The Paynes.

Perhaps golfing is your idea of relaxing vacation. You will be thrilled with the Payne Stewart Golf Course. The course is built with the features that exemplified Payne Stewart’s sense of humor, style and experiences. The course incorporates natural rock outcroppings, waterfalls and creeks and wooded areas into the design features. Widely known for his wardrobe of traditional golf knickers or plus fours and a tam o’ shanter cap, Payne Stewart was a champion and one of Missouri’s own. Tragically, his life was cut short when at the age of 42, Payne Stewart was killed in a plane crash.

A stay at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing will be one of pure enjoyment. You will be pampered and feel rested from your visits to shopping areas, nature hikes and the like. Let Branson be your vacation spot.

Heads up everyone! If you are looking for a great renewal for your life, check into the special package the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and HIlton Branson Convention Center Hotel have to offer. I have told you about other packages available like the Great American Pie Show, and the golf and romance packages. Now, you can enjoy a special retreat in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. The Young Christians’ Weekend, Mar. 27, 2009 – Mar. 29, 2009, will be the thrill of your life. You will find yourself absorbed as you enjoy singing and worshiping with likeminded vacationers.

The special package for The Young Christian’s Weekend includes accommodations for a family of four. Family of four is described as two adults and two children. Inspirational rallies will be held at Silver Dollar City. You may want to take in a couple of shows or go shopping at the outlet stores while in Branson. There is much to do. You may want to relax and enjoy a day at the spa. The Ozark Mountains have a way of penetrating your soul with their beauty. You can go for walks along the walking trails and even play a round of golf at one of the beautiful golf courses at Branson. Whatever you decide, a vacation in Branson is a memory you will want to repeat.
