OK, I think I got it.

First, your evening starts out with a lovely dinner at the Branson Mc Donalds. Next, a movie at the Branson 12 Multiplex theater, where you will afterwards chaperone yourselves for a nightcap soda down at the Branson 7-11. You will then climax (no pun intended) your evening by a romantic interlude at the one and only Branson Motel 6.

Total costs - $95.27

It's more than 50 miles, but Hot Springs, AR is not a long trip and a good place to visit. While there, you can see the house where I was born....... it is not a national shrine yet.

How about Table Rock Lake or that other lake (I won't that name or this thread will get hijacked ) on west of Branson. Can you get a cabin on the lake, maybe some wine, candles & you can fill in the rest. I don't think you have to go far, just away.

Good luck.

Yeah, my in-laws have a house on the lake. Only problem on visiting there in March is the lake is still drawn down...lotsa mud, and still kinda cold.
