This weekend we celebrated our two years of being married. We went down to Branson, MO for the weekend.

We have heard a lot about Branson, so we thought it would be a fun little weekend adventure. So, after dropping Kona off at the farm, we headed down to Branson. We had a wonderful time walking around the Landing and Downtown Branson. We had deep dish pizza overlooking the lake, went antiquing, walked around downtown and ate dinner at an Irish Pub.

At the Pub there was a handout that we really enjoyed. Here's a little taste of what it said:

What it means to be Irish:

9. You have never hit your head on the ceiling.

10. You spent a lot of your childhood kneeling.

16. Many of your sisters are Catherine, Elizabeth, or Mary . . . and one is Mary Catherine Elizabeth.

18. You may not know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing.

The next morning we got up, ate a wonderful continental breakfast at our hotel and went to visit the Shrine of the Holy Spirit.

After that we headed over to Branson Ziplining Adventures.

We really enjoyed this experience. This was my first time ziplining. I had really wanted to do it when we were in Maui, but we never got around to it. So, when we found out that there was ziplinging in Branson, and the courses were really cool looking, we couldn't resist.

As I focused on the technique of doing the correct ziplinging form, Zach took another approach. He chose to spin, get a running start, and hang upside down. We definitely had fun though. We can't wait for our next ziplinging experience.

We spent a lot of the weekend reflecting on our last two years together. We have never been happier and can't wait to see what the next 50 years will bring us.
