We hung around Monday long enough to see the water show at night at Branson Landing and then headed out. It put us home about 12:30 AM but, since we're night shift workers the drive wasn't to bad. I only saw one deer on the side of the road and a shadow of what I'm pretty sure was a second deer. The patchy fog which turned in a steady fog about Augusta, KS kept me from making decent time getting home.
Shelley really likes the Branson Landing area. It's a good mix of shops and restaurants and is pleasing on the eye's. While the fountain show isn't as impressive as the one in Vegas, it's worth going down to see. I only wish it ran a little more frequently than on the hour up until a certain point at night and then it goes off every half hour. Unless of course you're there on Monday and then it's hourly no matter what time it is.
Bellagio used to do this the same way but the crowds out front (rather than in the casino) got so big they had to start earlier in the day and then start running it every half hour. Maybe as it becomes a more popular attraction, Branson Landing will run the show more frequently.
We ate at two restaurants while down at Branson Landing. Both during lunch time. The first time we ate at Joe's Crab Shack and the second time at Garfield's. Since they're chain restaurants we don't have at home we decided to try them over Famous Dave's, with whom we're familiar with because there is one not far from us. I can't say I was overwhelmed by either but their location along the river provides for nice view if you can get close enough to a window. Otherwise they are just a chain restaurant. As with any restaurant in Branson, DON'T go during normal meal times unless you want to wait for an hour (or more). At Joe's we had lunch a 2:00 pm and still had a 20 minute wait. Garfields was about the same time and we got right in. We initially stopped by Joe's close to noon and the wait was estimated at 45 to 50 minutes for lunch.

JLB, I think you were going to make reservations for Famous Dave's for Sunday, Nov 19. I mentioned that my family of 5 would be there. I conveniently forgot to include my mother-in-law, who will be with us.:annoyed: And, heck, you better include my wife's sister and her husband as they will likely join us for dinner as well. So, can you please change the 5 for my party to 8. Thanks. Tim
