peeperjj's Journal, 13 July 2020

We are heading to Branson MO in a week or so. I normally stress about these things but this time I made a list of things we could do and hubby turned it into a plan. Well he made his own but the two overlapped so it worked well!

Now I’m looking up restaurants. Lots to choose from but I’m not finding nutritional info. I’ll just have to log the best I can. I’ve already determined that I’m eating what I want, when I want. Calories for the days we are there won’t be an issue. Hopefully we can eat lower calorie on the way there and back lol. If not that’s ok too. I’m still down 5-6# under my ‘max’ and I doubt I gain that much in just 5 days lol. No gyms but there will be tons of walking and standing.

I’m not a ride person so I’ll be staying with our stuff and maybe doing the kids rides where my youngest needs an adult. Otherwise the others are free to make themselves sick on those big monstrosities lol. We can bring an ice chest and snacks so I’ll pack some rice crispy treats and jerky just in case. That being said I WILL try the cinnamon bread and maybe some fudge. Probably some 1000 calorie fudge lol. I rarely eat it because it’s something I can’t stop with. The cost and calories are enough to keep me from buying it generally.

You'll have a great time! You have a plan and everything will be worth it. What highways do you take to get there?

I’m not sure which route he will take but I’m guessing hwy 412 then I44. We are stopping in Springfield to go through the Fantastic Caverns again the south to Branson. I may pack sandwiches. But that’s low protein and I’m afraid everyone will want to snack then. It’s better than McDonalds and the like though lol.

Enjoy and being on the road can be challenging, as far as healthy eating and logging but I have been doing it ok. I am in a RV so I'm able to buy healthy foods as I cook most nights but it's ok to splurge a bit. Just plan best you can and have fun!!💜

I went as a kid about 25-28 years ago. Had a family reunion there in 2012. Took the kids in 2016 and again this year. We don’t leave home much except for the occasional trip to Oklahoma City lol. I’m all about finding a shade tree and staying with everyone’s stuff. I’m also the picture taker so it works for us. The kiddie rides are right up my alley lol. I’ve never been to any SDC shows so I’m hoping we can fit one in this time. We are also going to a murder mystery dinner theater, mini golf, wax museum, caves and a wildlife museum. Mostly stuff for the kids to make memories.

Hi! We haven’t left yet. We leave in a few days. Right now we are at a basketball tournament. Then home for two days to do laundry up, get things ready then Branson. We will then be home for 4 days and then leave for Nationals. Gonna be busy! Thankfully Nationals is only 2 hours from home. Right where we are now actually.

Hopefully they won't shut the state down again. It's in the rumors as our virus rate is skyrocketing. Ennoy but be safe

A lot of larger cities here are doing a mask mandate, but that’s it. We have to wear a mask at the games and have temp checks. Everyone is taking masks off as soon as they get in so we did too. But we are all social distancing so it’s all good.
