While doing the wifely thing make sure you go to Branson Landing, a new shopping area on Lake Taneycomo in old Branson. Yes, I know, shopping isn't my thing either, but they have a trout oriented Bass Pro Shop there. Make sure you check out that display of mounted ducks over the waterfall and the trout aquarium. It is a mural that goes around three sides of the store. It starts with painted ducks, then moves across the store with mounted ducks in flight and finally goes back to a mural. Impressive. Joe's Crab Shack is always good and there is an Irish Pub where the brew is cold. As far as shows goes you cant go wrong with The Presleys, Sohji Tabucci, and Mickey Gilley. If you like old Rock & Roll then Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater has some great acts. In the basement of that theater is a collection of 57 Cars. Yes, 57 fully restored 1957 cars in a 50s setting. It the Patches collection that I think was moved there from Reno NV. Bet you already know that driving through Springfield MO without stopping at the first and arguably best Bass Pro Shop is considered a sin in that Bible Belt town.
