Saturday & Sunday - James Nelson

An exciting trip so far, as we left at 12 noon on Saturday and reached our destination in Branson, Missouri late last night (Sunday) around 1 a.m.. Along the way we’ve done some very exciting things, first stopping in Chicago at the Nike Town outlet followed by dinner at the Rain Forest cafe. Lots of laughs and memories made in such a short time. Then we left Chicago and drove several hours until we reached St. Louis were we finally got to get some rest after a long day. Sunday morning we woke up for a great breakfast before we went to visit the famous St. Louis Arch. It was a great experience as some of the guys had never been to the top.  It was also a great bonding experience! Following dinner we got an opportunity to attend the MVC (Missouri valley Conference) Championship game at the Scott Trade Center between Creighton and Illinois State.  It was an intense game and yet another chance for us to enjoy each others company in a nice environment. And the last stop of the day was at Lambert's restaurant, famous for throwing their rolls across the restaurant to diners. Then a 4 1/2 drive landed us to the final destination here in Branson!
