#Summer2025 - Branson, Travel Day.

We can be boring sometimes.  This summer vacation is a carbon copy of last year.  Back to Lilley's Landing in Branson.

Last year, however, a massive hurricane rolled through Galveston, making it uncertain if we would be able to keep our future reservations.  This year, on July 4, a deluge of rain fell on the Texas Hill Country raising the level of the Guadalupe River from dry to over 30 feet.  The death toll is unknown, but projections are that it will be high.  They have our prayers.

We didn't set the alarm this morning, getting in no hurry to leave.  The little town of Clayton, OK, has their Independence Day parade at 11 am, and last year we got stuck in it.  So, leave a bit later - in this case, 8:30 am.  

We took our usual route.  Mom and Dad left at 6 am and went through Dallas.  No one has issues and we arrived at Lilley's at 5:30 or so.  Supper was a rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club, and then it was to Walmart for a few things.  Fairly standard and little to get excited about.  

The drive here is pretty as always, so here are a few snaps of the drive.  We are hoping for a relaxing week!

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
