Looking for a place to take your sons on a family vacation mancation? Branson might just be the place you are looking for - plenty of fun, family friendly activities, and it is surprisingly easy to get to as well.
Branson, Missouri is a place that many have heard of, but it is often referred to as a "redneck version of Vegas" but most of those guys haven't considered all the great things that Branson has to offer for a father and son vacation. When you consider that there are tons of cheap flights from most major cities (especially Midwest and East Coast), it becomes an even greater idea for a guys weekend getaway.
Most mancations we cover here involve college or work buddies, but for those with sons (of any age) it is just as important to spend time hanging out, having fun, exploring new things, and celebrating the special relationships between fathers and sons.
