PBarnes Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Sept. 11-12 works for me but I can probably consider alternative weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Don't pick dates just around me...if an alternative one works better that's fine. I can always see what I can do about it (the great thing with parents just a few blocks away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I wanted to add...Gary's schedule changes at a drop of a hat, he could easily have something come up that weekend. It might be better to find a weekend that will work with everyone and i'll see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiC. Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Ok, I've got Sep 11-12 off. I couldn't believe it after months of being short staffed, that weekend had extra coverage and there's another guy who wants more hours. I am so ready to party, er, scrap with you all. Let me know what I can do to help out, what I can bring, etc. Jumping up and down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't have any plans that day. I just have to check if I am on call or not for Sept 11 and 12th. Do you have any ideas where? Do you need help finding some place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angleigh Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 a few questions to throw out there. when is everyone planning on arriving? I'm up for coming in anytime on Friday. Gary is working in town that day..and my mom gets off before school is out, so I can leave as early as anyone would like. what are we doing on Saturday? I know we talked about doing a photowalk at the zoo..if we're going to do that is it worth it to rent a conference room? will we be in there long enough and what time would we need to be out of there? we could always look to see if they had rooms with a sitting area in it. maybe just all meet up there that night? just a thought...wasn't sure what the plans were.

Well, I would like to be up there Friday evening after dinner. A meeting room is not mandatory for me personally. Depends on how many people we have. We could maybe meet in someone's room. Or, we could scrapbook someplace outside of the hotel on Saturday (like resteraunt who will give us permission or someplace with a hot spot like a book store or something). Just a thought.

tiza126 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 depending on how many people, we could possibly scrap at my apartment. my dining table fits 6, and I have 4 tv trays if people want to sit on the couch. I would clean for you too...but don't expect me to cook! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be able to head down anytime Friday, so whatever works for the majority! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiC. Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Not sure yet if I'm on nights or days Friday. If its days could get there in the evening, but if on nights I can't leave until 6 am on Sat and its about a three hour drive. I don't have any particular preferences about where we meet. all the above suggestions work for me. I'm getting very excited and can't wait to see everyone. We'll have to be sure to get a group photo or two or six while we're at the zoo. Maybe with the monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiza126 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks for all the hotel suggestions Laura! Near Forest Park, there is a Drury Hotel, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn. The Drury is the newest of the three, just built in the last couple years, which probably makes it the most expensive of the three. The Holiday Inn is the oldest of the three, and probably the cheapest. These would be the closest & most convenient if we do a Zoo trip. There would be more options of places to stay if you looked in Downtown St. Louis, near the airport, or in West County (Chesterfield, Clayton, Creve Coeur). The Cardinals are out of town the weekend of September 10-11, so Downtown area wouldn't be as busy or packed. Other options: http://bit.ly/cJtHcb I can't wait to see everyone! And yes, Sandi, I think we do need a group shot with the monkeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podiumchick Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I sure wish I could come! There was only a slim chance anyway, being it is quite a distance for me...but we have a CC meet AND a band competition that day and my DS needs me to get him from one to the other since there's no way he can get back to the HS to catch the band bus after the CC meet. (And don't feel too sorry for him doing both in one day. The non-runner band kids PRACTICE all morning. DS would rather run!) I may have to just shake the bush and see if IN and MI girls can get together. I know I'm not far from Christy V or Lei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandiC. Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Aw, Kim, I was so hoping there was a way you could make it. I remember all the band activities so I understand. We could photoshop you into the group/monkey photos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a second choice for more photo ops. I'm open for a roommate for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
