The 29th Bailey Family Reunion was hosted at the beautiful island of Nassau Bahamas by the Gresham Family of Atlanta, Georgia.

Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas and is located on the 11th largest island of New Providence. Nassau’s history can be traced back to days of the legendary pirate Blackbeard which includes a sheltered harbor, mansions, cathedrals and 18th-century fortresses, all beautifully preserved.

The largest city on New Providence Island, Nassau has become the undisputed resort Mecca of the Bahamas. The capital city conjures up images of white sand beaches, turquoise water, outdoor straw markets and quaint historic sights. Nassau, which blends old world charm with modern sophistication, has also emerged as a center for business and commerce. But make no mistake: tourism is the city's bread and butter. Luxurious resorts, a thriving nightlife and a tropical year-round climate attract countless vacationers each year. Area attractions include the 14th-century French stone Cloisters, the mega resort Atlantis, the Crystal Palace Casino, and the award-winning Cable Beach Golf Club. Another major site is the 18th-century Fort Charlotte, which once guarded Nassau Harbor.

Back in the prohibition days of the 1920s, Nassau served as a base for bootleggers and rumrunners. Prince George's Wharf, one of Nassau's most famous landmarks, was built during this era specifically to accommodate the number of boats smuggling liquor into the States. Today, the Wharf accommodates ships of the cruise liner variety.

Nassau has also often been referred to as "Little Switzerland" due to its number of offshore banks that lie beyond the jurisdiction of United States claims courts. At one time, the number of internationally based banks exceeded 400.
