Adventure in Branson

By: Amanda Gleason agleason

Sure, Branson is known for its live shows. With more than 50 theaters to choose from, I knew before I even stepped off the plane in this Missouri city that there’d be no shortage of entertainment options. But then one of my favorite things happened – a city surprised me. I had no idea I’d find a charming downtown and stellar shopping areas, not to mention the fishing charter I went on where I... read more

Gertrude Gets to Fly

By: Devon Cross dcross

Feb 18 2013
You could feel the anxiety in the air as we huddled around a crate in the lobby of Tampa International Airport.  Final preparations for boarding were taken care of, introductions were made, and the question we heard periodically was “How is she?”  All eyes would shift to the crate below.  Inside was an endangered Green sea turtle, Missouri’s first sea turtle, and a rescue –... read more

Adventure in Austin

By: Amanda Gleason agleason

Feb 08 2013
This month, I made my way south to the live music capital of the world: Austin, Texas. Sure, seeing a couple shows was definitely on the agenda, but I wondered what exactly was I going to do when my ears needed a rest? My worries soon subsided once I realized I could mosey around an urban farm, hang out in a redesigned presidential library, and hit the trails on the Barton Creek Greenbelt.... read more
