We just got back from a weekend in Springfield, MO. We went for a couple of reasons. One, to see our friends who moved out there last year and two, just to get out of Wichita for a weekend. It was just a four hour (or so) ride out there and we left Friday after I finished with work and we got there in time for some beer and a few left over pieces of pizza. A great way to start a lazy weekend.
Saturday was spent around the town. We walked the downtown area a little bit and grabbed some food. The afternoon was spent checking out a brewery that just opened up. It is not a brewery that has a restaurant, it's an actual brewery that just bottles and sends out the booze. It never rained, but it was overcast and windy all day. Not one hundred percent fantastic, but tolerable.
Sunday we drove down to Branson. Not to see any shows that the city is known for, but to check out some of the shops in the area. They have a nice open air mall with typical shops, but once again it was nice to just get out and see something different.
The weather was not the greatest, but it was nice enough to get outside and walk around both days. Would it have been more enjoyable has it been in the low seventies and sunny all weekend? Absolutely. It was in the low fifties and cloudy all days that we were there except for Monday, when we had to leave. Figures. It was nice to drive back home when it was sunny as opposed driving in the rain.
Getting out of the city is always nice especially when you have no real plans. And, as always, it was great to see some friends.
