ROAD -TT R I P P I N BRANSON MO.

Branson hosts seven million tourists each year, and for good reason. Featuring plenty of attractions such as famous landmarks, Silver Dollar City, and eighty live performances a day. Branson also has plenty of shopping outlets from the Branson Mall to Grand Country Square and many more local or more popular stores for any of your needs or just a souvenir. Much like Las Vegas, Branson has no shortage of food, with what seems like a restaurant around every corner. Just a few of the historic landmarks to visit are the veterans memorial museum, the American presidential museum, and the Ralph Foster Museum. Of course the more exciting museum, Ripley’s Believe it or Not contains many oddities to entertain young adults. During a blistering summer, Branson includes many pools to swim in, and while it borders the White River, this is more for rafting rather than swimming.

LAS VEGAS

While Sin City may seem like an odd entry on a list for people who are not over t wenty-one, but Las Vegas offers more attractions than casinos. It also has plenty of family-friendly attractions. Some attractions to make this summer vacation excellent are the many rides scattered over the city (some to mention are The Big Show, The Stratosphere, and almost all of Circus Circus), countless shows including magic shows of Penn and Teller, and tons of museums and exhibits recommended are the Mob Museum and Bodies...The Exhibition. Las Vegas also features countless all-you-can-eat buffets for [p pthose hungry appetites.

HAWAII

What better summer vacation to have than Hawaii? With luscious beaches, beautiful forests, and new exciting food this trip will be one to remember.

Hawaii is a land of extreme biodiversity, color, and mystifying animals. Also, Hawaii features a wide variety of activities to keep busy such as scuba diving, rock climbing, hiking, luaus, whale watching, snorkeling, and much more.

All this and a new cultural experience without leaving the U.S. leads up to a relaxation paradise.
