Monday - Duck | On the Road Again

We had tickets to Ride the Ducks at 11:15, so after breakfast we headed over to The Landing, a newer area right off of the Downtown on the east side of Branson. After shopping for a couple of hours, we went for our Duck ride. If you've never ridden the ducks, it's an experience like no other. One minute you're driving along and the next minute you've driven right into the water with a big SPLASH! Our driver was "Captain Jed," hence the Beverly Hillbillies song playing as we entered the bus/boat/amphibious vehicle. He was a hoot. He had a song to go along with almost everything he said. I'm not sure if that was his special touch or if they're all doing that now. Either way, it was quite entertaining.

Oh, the quackers!

Another Duck in the water.

After the ducks it was time to hit the road. We planned to be in Springfield by 1:30 and figured maybe the lunch crowd would be thinning out so we tried Lambert's again. 2 hour wait! We kept driving...ended up at Olive Garden. Made good time coming home. End of Day 3.
