So the second week in July we took a road trip to Missouri for Jayson's sister Kayla's wedding! Airline tickets to Missouri are outrageous ($600 a person...we flew to Hawaii for less!) so we decide to drive! My dad was nice enough to let us borrow his Chrysler 300 to drive out there...it is a really nice car so I was nervous to drive it but it was awesome to ride it luxury! We learned that Missouri is a long way away from Utah...1286 miles on way and a 20 hour drive to be exact! Jayson can't stand to drive to Provo because it is too far so it was a whole new adventure!
The drive out ther wasn't too bad, it went by fairly quickly and 20 hours later we were in Branson, Missouri! We decided to drive straight through rather then spend the money on a hotel so we got to Branson at 6 am! After getting lost once, even with a navigation system, we found our hotel! Of course we couldn't check into our hotel until 3 pm so we went to see Jayson's mom for a bit! It was fun to see her, we haven't seen her since Jayson and I's wedding 4 years ago! After a short visit we were both exhasted to say the least so we went back to the hotel and slept by the pool in the pool chairs until our room was ready!
That night we went to dinner with the fam and then went mini golfing with Jayson's Grandpa Cabe, his wife Cindy and granddaughter Libby! We had a lot of fun...Jayson kicked our butts of course! Branson is a pretty cool place it's beautiful with lots of trees and a lot of fun things to do!
The next day was the wedding! It was a bit humid but it always is in the midwest! The setting was beautiful and so was the wedding! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Parmenter! Jayson, my little photographer took lots of pictures her are just a few of them!

You probably didn't know that Branson is a big spot for celebs! We ran in to a lot of them while we were there and all of them were very nice and willing to let us get some pictures with them! Tom Hanks, Pierce Brosnan, Nicholas Cage, Johnny Depp...just to name a few!
JK! We went to the Hollywood wax museum with Jayson's grandpa! I thought it was awesome! Most of them look so life like it is so cool to think they are made out of wax!
---------------------
On our last day in Branson we went down by one of the lakes in town to a place called The Junction...it was awesome it was beautiful a shoppers heaven! I wish we had known about it sooner in the trip...it might have been a more expensive trip if we had known sooner so maybe its a good thing we didn't know until the last day!
A cool "fog" sits on the water it is really pretty!
Looking out over the lake!
The Junction...shopping, shopping and more shopping!
Dancing fountain at the Junction...and of course my cute husband!
Another fountain at The Junction...what a pretty place!
We had a great trip and it was so fun to see Jayson's family! Hopefully it won't be 4 years this time! The drive home was really really really long but we made it safe and sound!
