....makes a dull Ainsilie. I've worked the past 7 days straight so I'm able to use less PTO this weekend. When I picked my vacation weeks in January, I didn't really have any plans so I just tried to space out my weeks as much as possible.
I picked this week for vacation since my bday is in a few days!
I'm off this ENTIRE weekend and I couldn't be happier! It's been a harder adjustment than I thought to go back to working weekends. It's been 6 months since I've had a full weekend off, and it's been almost a year that Ryan and I have had a getaway.
That's why, my friends, we're getting away this weekend. Ryan pretty much told me to do what I want because I'll end up doing it anyway (who? me? *angel face*). I wanted to go to Chicago, but since Ryan's working Fri & Mon, it'd be a very short weekend since it's an 8 hour drive. I also want to go to Colorado, but that's also 8 hours.
So, it was between Lake of the Ozarks and Branson, MO. The lakes were tempting because I know there's no cell phone towers there, which means no phone, which means work can't call me. However, some people I talked to said that Branson is a good getaway place and it has a lot. It has some lakes, a theme park, lots of places to eat, and some good shopping. Branson has Ainsilie & Ryan written alllll over it :)
We found a 3 star hotel from Name Your Own Price Priceline.com (thanks daddy for showing us this!) and I didn't think twice about booking. I haven't come up with a game plan because I want us to just enjoy the time together, away from work, and away from everyday life.
You can check out what there is to do in Branson, MO. If you're thinking "is this couple really 80 years old and living in a 20 year olds body?" than the answer is "yes". You can read about the place here:

I. am. so. excited. The mere thought of being way from work for 5 days makes me almost pee my pants. Being away from work AND shopping AND sun? I'm gonna throw up from excitement.
