Things to do in My 5 Favorite Weekend Getaway Destinations

Hey YouTube friends! 👋 I’m so excited to share the Things to do in My 5 favorite weekend getaway spots, perfect for when you need to escape, recharge, or just have a little fun.
From stunning lakes to neon lights, I’ve got something for everyone.
Hello everyone! I’m Todd McFadden, owner of S&T Properties LLC.

✨ So pack your bags, and let’s hit get started!
First up—Branson, Missouri! This place is seriously underrated.
🎢 If you love theme parks, Silver Dollar City is a must. Old-timey vibes and modern thrills, it’s the best of both worlds.
🚤 Then head to Table Rock Lake for boating, swimming, or just chillin’ on the shore.
🎶 Oh—and the live music scene? It’s amazing. Catch a show on the Branson Strip, grab dinner at Billy Gail’s, or soak in that small-town charm.

Branson feels like a blend of nostalgia and adventure. I always leave feeling like I had a wholesome, fun-filled escape.

Next is Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri—a lake lover’s paradise.
⛵ You can rent a boat or hop on a party cruise. Either way, being on the water here is just wonderful.
🍹 Check out Backwater Jack’s for food, drinks, and poolside vibes.
🌲 If you’re more into nature, hike at Ha Ha Tonka State Park—the ruins and views here are next level.

It’s the kind of place where you can relax with a drink or go full throttle with jet skis.

Alright, let’s talk Nashville TN! 🎤
This city brings the energy.
🎸 Start with a stroll down Broadway—or commonly called “honky-tonk heaven”.
🍗 Grab some hot chicken at Hattie B’s, then snap some pics at the Gulch murals.
🎶 Music is everywhere, and even the dive bars have incredible live acts.

Nashville is a vibe. You’ll dance, you’ll eat, and you might even come home with a cowboy hat, and there won’t be any judgment here, honest

Oh My! Welcome to the Waterpark Capital of the World— the Wisconsin Dells!
💦 Perfect for families, friend trips, or letting your inner child out.
Hit Noah’s Ark or Kalahari, or check out Wilderness Resort for indoor-outdoor fun.
🛶 Don’t miss the Upper Dells Boat Tour—the sandstone formations are beautiful.
🎯 And yes, there’s mini-golf, fudge shops, and quirky roadside attractions everywhere.

The Dells are like stepping into a giant summer camp—but with better food and hot tubs. 😂

And last but never least—Las Vegas NV!
✨ The Strip is iconic, but there’s so much more than casinos.
🎭 See a show, hit a rooftop pool party, or explore Red Rock Canyon for a desert day trip.
🍴 My go-to’s? Brunch at Hash House A Go Go, dinner at Momofuku, and late-night donuts at Pinkbox.

Vegas is whatever you want it to be—luxury, adventure, nightlife, or just people-watching in glittery chaos.
