1. I love going to Branson....

But, it's not a place to engage visitors in political conversation. Go there and leave your politics at the house. And go to Big Cedar Lodge. It's probably my favorite resort in the world! Set on Table Rock Lake, you'll want to stay with your bride or sig other in one of the beautiful cabins. In your free time, go to Silver Dollar City. Food is fabulous!!
