Branson: Day 2

It rained all day yesterday but we didn't let it get in our way of having a good time. We started off by going to a little chocolate shop, then headed to the zoo/aquarium where we fed stingrays, sharks, and a giant sea turtle named Savannah. After the zoo, we made a quick stop for lunch and headed to Cirque Imagination's Montage show. The show was really cool- it's amazing what people can do with their bodies. The contortionist was especially astonishing- she could put her butt on her head. Nuts! The show finished around 5pm, so we drove back over to Branson Landing mall to eat dinner. On the way there, we made a quick stop at Dino's Cake Co. to get a slice of their carrot cake to-go (it's supposedly really good). Dinner was at the White River Fish House (run by Bass Pro) and consisted partially of alligator tail for an appetizer and habanero margaritas. We finished the night off with Ben and Jerry's and a stroll around the Landing. All in all, a great day!

After placing parts of small fish between your fingers, you let the stingray suck them out of your hand.

The chocolates have been more fun post-trip actually. We bought all different flavors and it has been intriguing to try them (we've been spacing them out), especially as there are rather unique ingredients in some!
