Missouri is where all of our adventures begin! We live in Joplin in the southwest corner, so we are also really close to Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas, as well. It’s not uncommon for us to just jump in the car and head somewhere for a day trip.

One of our favorite places for a getaway or longer vacation in Missouri is Branson. You can read more about Branson on the Branson page.
We’ve also enjoyed our trip to Hannibal. You can read more about that adventure here.

We also like hiking and feeding the trout at Roaring River State Park near Cassville. You can read more about that here.

We saw the total solar eclipse near Jefferson City and stayed the night before in Osage Beach. To read more about that experience, click here.
There is always something fun going on in Missouri, my home state!
