Ella Servadio - Branson

     When I was little, my parents took me to Branson, Missouri. From what I remember, I had a lot of fun while we were there. I remember riding rides and going to a lot of cool places to eat. Ever since I had wanted to go back. I begged my parents to take a vacation there for three years in a row. I finally got to go back last summer, and it was not fun at all.
     I was really excited about going back to Branson after so long, so I was literally counting down the days until we went. We went to Silver Dollar City the first day, and it started raining right after we got in. They gave us a free pass, so we went back the next day. After an hour of being there, I was over it. It was so hot, and my feet were killing me. All we could really do was walk around because no one in my family likes to ride the rides except my dad and me, so we didn't want to make them stop and wait for an hour while we rode. This was probably the biggest let down of the vacation. I was really looking forward to the rides. The rest of the week we shopped and went to shows. That was the best part of the trip, mainly because we got to be inside and not crammed up with a bunch of people.
     My Branson experience was nothing like I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be fun, but it was everything but fun. When I go on vacation, I like to be able to have fun but relax as well. In Branson, I wasn't able to relax at all. We were always doing something.
