Branson Getaway

We took a little break last week and stayed in the only hotel in America that doesn't have internet connection! Maybe it was God's plan. I don't know, but here's a litte bit about our getaway.

For 15 years now, my wife's family has been gathering for a family reunion we call the "Ash Bash" (Jen's family name). We have done a lot of incredible things together. We have gone to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. We traveled to Washington D. C. and Williamsburg one year. And last year we went to Hawaii (dream come true). Thanks grandpa & grandma!

It's been fun watching all the nephews and nieces grow up and catching up on all the family news. Many of them we see only two or three times a year. No matter where we go, the greatest times are being able to stay involved in the lives of our extended family. We love all of them so much.

This year we went to Branson, MO and did the entire Branson thing (Silver Dollar City, mini-golf, outlet shopping, traffic, an evening show, and swimming). Developing memories, sharing time together, and connecting with loved ones is the best part of the "Ash Bash."

Here are some pictures:

Last year, Sarah and I went (first time in 20 years) and we had a pretty good time even though we stayed for 2 days! It looks like you guys had fun, taking time out is always helpful! The Internet issue, now that I haven't came across yet!
