Branson Vacations
Posted in Post Count on 03/09/2010 08:00 pm by JulieAs many of you know, I am a HUGE fan of Little House on the Prairie… Not only the show, but the books as well. Heck, I even share a birthday with Laura Ingalls Wilder! 
… Some day it’s a dream of mine to go to the Rocky Ridge Farm in the Ozarks of Missouri, and see the farm that Laura and Almonzo built for themselves and for their daughter, Rose (which is where I got Amanda’s middle name from 
). It would be so amazing to see how they lived! (Also wouldn’t mind a visit to DeSmet and Pepin, Wisconsin. 
) … Of course, if we ever make it to Missouri, I have a couple friends I wouldn’t mind seeing as well. 
Another place that would be great to visit would be Branson, Missouri. I’ve heard great things about it. Joe and I have even been told that we should have gone there for our honeymoon, instead of Nashville/Opryland. I should look into a Branson vacation package, to see if maybe sometime we could visit there!

As soon as I read this post, I went to check Rocky Ridge Farm photos and I think I will need to read the Little House on the Prairie. Been hearing about that before but it’s only now that I have interest in it after seeing photos of the house of Almonzo and Laura.

You are definately talking about my little part of the world! I know all about these two places.
I’m close enough to visit Laura Ingalls Wilder’s house daily… although, I haven’t been there since my student teaching years in 1994.
Branson is a little farther away, but still in close enough proximity to have season passes.
We were very close to DeSmet the year we went to Mount Rushmore, but didn’t go. I’m regretting that now.
