We just got back from a few days in Branson, Missouri. We normally stay on Indian Point not far from Silver Dollar City. There are many places on Indian Point which overlook Table Rock Lake. It's a safe bet to say it is our favorite vacation spot and we've been several times. This picture was taken near the entrance of Silver Dollar City. I don't know how to explain the park, other than to say it will take you back in time to a bygone era. And the potatoes fried up in large round skillets with vegetables are my favorite. The women all wear long flowery dresses while working in their shops. During the Fall, they host a craftsmen festival with some of the most beautiful crafts I've seen. Our children love to ride the rides and had such fun getting soaking wet on the log ride. Silver Dollar City has a few hilly areas, and I think our vacation was somewhat of a workout because my legs were stiff after doing lots of walking. It's good to be back home and will try to share some pictures of the area during the week. Blessings!!Wednesday, October 17, 2007

I never knew there was another Silver Dollar City besides the one that was in TN years ago. Dolly Parton parterned with the Silver Dollar City in TN and renamed it after her: "Dollywood" and that is where I grew up. ; )
Sounds like the one you went to is much like Dollywood also. The women wear the long dresses and old timey atomsphere prevails and they will THROW YOU OUT if you aren't clothed properly......unlike most "modern" amusement parks they don't allow bikini tops and will tell you to put your shirt on or leave lol. That is just how I grew up and I wish the West out here was like that.....but they are quite liberal. But I'm not lol. ; )
Take care.......glad you had a good trip.
Bev, yes there is a Silver Dollar City right outside of Branson, Missouri. I've often considered going to Dollywood--I've never been to Tennessee before. Silver Dollar City in Branson is quite hilly with all the old-time arts and crafts (I especially love the candy making!!)
Blessings,
