WALK ALONG LAKE TANEYCOMO

There's a real nice walk along Lake Taneycomo that runs behind the Branson Landing shopping center in downtown Branson. It's a great place get your daily exercise and a nice view too.


Looking the other direction, you can see one of our favorite restaurants on the water, owned by Bass Pro Shops.

The shopping center consists of up-scale stores with condos and apartments above them. In the center of the mall, down by the walk, is a set-up for a water show with fountains and fire, similar to what you see in the Dells or at the Belagio in Las Vegas. You can walk in front of it or behind. At this time of year , the water is synchronized to Christmas music. There are also speakers in each of the light poles, so you can sing along as you walk.

Coming from the north, I'm always thrilled to still see roses blooming in November.

You can tell winter is on the way-they've planted the pansies and kale.
