9-18-09 Silver Dollar City, Branson, MO

Arrived at the SDC parking lot around noon, decided to come here first because it would've wasted too much of our park time to go to the campsite and unhook and come back since SDC closes at 6PM and tickets here are about $50 a piece for a day admission, but it does include everything except food and souvenir's -it was a good deal if you had a full day and as it was our day was dwindling quickly......So-we set Bailey up with plenty of food and water in the RV parking lot and off we went for a day of walking hills and valleys and seeing shows and rides & looking at crafts and all kinds of home cooking! There was a final show in the amphitheatre at 6 Pm but we had to check into our campsite before 8PM so we couldn't stay for the whole show or we'd risk not getting a campsite for the nite and that was more important at this point.
I'll have to put in here a picture of a little old lady that was a violin maker, she was in her late 90's and cute as a button, she was playing one of the violin's she had made with a young feller playing a guitar and she got so excited when I asked her if I could take her picture :o)
Then there was a blacksmith type feller that was making the coolest knives out of railroad spikes-very neat and extremely sharp but they were starting at $70 and Joe passed them up for a belt buckle instead-go figure :o) But the buckle is excellent and cut from an actual coin and we all know Joe and his buckles, lol
