Silver Dollar City: Branson, Baby! – Our 2019 Spring Break (Part 9)
A trip to Branson could never be complete without visiting Silver Dollar City! Frankly, I didn’t really care that much if we made it to this theme park or not. While it certainly looked fun, nothing can compare to Disney World in my mind. I figured it would be a pale imitation. We got off…
