Branson, Missouri ~ “Live Music Show Capital of the World”

Memphis, Tennessee ~ “Birthplace of Rock ’n Roll” & “Home of the Blues”

Located in the heart of the United States, Branson is a city full of great attractions and,as hard as it may be to believe, small town charm. With its many attractions and vaca-tion opportunities, Branson is one of the most visited cities in the country. There is apopulation of 7,500 in this charming city, but its shows and other entertainment drawan average of 7.5 million visitors a year. Another reason that Branson is so popular isits great location. Located within a day's drive of 50% of the US population, this city isliterally in the center of the country. The city boundary encompasses 17 square miles,many of which are packed with theaters and theme parks.

We see the spectacular show, SIX—A showbiz spectacular of six multi-talentedbrothers, who take musical entertainment to a whole new level. SIX captivates

their audiences with pure harmonies, astonishing vocal feats,and singing so robust you’ll think you’re hearing a full band.From Gospel to Patriotic to Contemporary to Doo-Wop to Clas-

sics, SIX’s versatility is mind boggling!

We stay the night inthe beautiful ClarionHotel Branson righton the Strip. A hotbreakfast buffet willawait you in themorning.

Set high on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, in the southwestern corner of Tennessee, Memphis isknown the world over as an immensely musical city - the cradle of the blues, the birthplace of rock 'n' roll andthe location of Graceland, Elvis Presley's flamboyant mansion. We visit Grace-land and then dine at the King’s Palace Café on famous Beale Street. King’soffers such local favorites at gumbo, shrimp, crawfish and barbeque.

However, there is much more to Memphis than music. Named after the capital ofancient Egypt (a reference to the Mississippi being the Nile of America) this city isa hustler and an enterprising metropolis. There is evidence that its origins as asettlement date back to at least AD1000, when Native Americans lived and wor-shipped here—the modern town was founded in 1819. A natural crossroads be-tween New Orleans, St Louis and Chicago, Memphis became an important trad-ing center in the mid 19th century and the main shippingport for cotton grown in the Mississippi Delta.

We overnight here inMemphis.

Nashville, Tennessee ~ “Music City”

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Behind the rhinestone glitter andshowbiz exists a hard-working con-servative city. Nashville has been theleading settlement in middle Tennes-see since Fort Nashborough was es-tablished in 1779. A state capitalsince 1843, it is now the financial andinsurance center of the mid-South.

For all its "Nash-Vegas" image, thecity has maintained a strong reputa-tion for learning. As well as holdingover a thousand churches – more percapita than anywhere else in thecountry – it has been tagged the"Protestant Vatican" for its prolifera-tion of training colleges for preachersand missionaries, church administra-tive offices, and Bible-publishingplants.

Set against the misty blue backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is a gateway to 500 thousand acres of Appalachian wil-derness.

From the majestic beauty of the surrounding mountains to the bustling activi-ties that can fill the streets, Pigeon Forge will never cease to amaze. We have a2-night stay in beautiful Pigeon Forge.

Lexington to Frankfort, Kentucky ~ “Horse Capital of the World”

Our route takes us through Kentucky horse country...from Lexing-ton to Frankfort, Kentucky.

There is no better way to discover the legendary landscape of theBluegrass Region than driving the country roads around theHorse Capital of the World. Lush pastures, mile after mile ofplank and stone fencing, horses grazing, magnificent homes andbarns: all this and more is there for your viewing pleasure.

When European settlers arrived on the scene, the Bluegrass re-gion was in use as a hunting ground for numerous Native Ameri-can tribes. Daniel Boone was one of the first Anglo-Saxons to ex-plore the area.

Lexington was founded in 1775, seventeen years before Ken-tucky became a state. William McConnell and a group of frontierexplorers were camped at a natural spring when word came fromnearby Fort Boonesborough that the first battle of the AmericanRevolution had been fought in Lexington, Massachusetts. In honorof the battle, the group named their site “Lexington”. By 1820, Lex-ington, Kentucky, was one of the largest and wealthiest townswest of the Allegheny Mountains.

St. Louis, Missouri ~ “Gateway to the West”

The City of Frankfort was founded in 1786 and wasmade the capital a mere six years later. Frankfort isnow considered one of the most picturesque Capitalsin the United States with its natural beauty and itsbeautiful historic and modern architecture.

Thisname was later shortened to Frankfort.
