anemone1983 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Poor party van will go to the car graveyard tomorrow. Everyone cross your fingers it makes it to the car dealer. But good news is, there's a Party Van 2. I tried to get away from the van, but it just wasn't going to happen. When you have 2 kids that are almost 6ft (and still have growing to do) and their friends nothing else make sense. And I didn't want to go bigger. So it's now a silver 2014 grand caravan. We'll miss the original party van, but I'm sure we'll make lots of great SG meetup memories riding in the new one too! Agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May it be as good to you as the last van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anemone1983 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Looks like we are down to one date in October, the weekend of the 16th. (I didn't include the last weekend since it is Halloween) We will see what others have to say about availability.... September 11 September 25 October 9 October 16 October 23 This was the last post on good dates that I saw. Any closer to deciding between September 11 and October 16? What about location?

I fly Delta - got lots of miles with them . Depends on my contract. If I'm still in Des Moines in October, then Cheri and I will probably carpool out to KC. If i'm in MI, I'll fly out. I'll know more before the end of August since that's when my current contract expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actnfunny Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think I could work something in that timeframe. I've never gotten to attend one, so it would really be a big deal to me. Kansas City isn't too far of a drive for me I don't think. I'll try to keep up with what is going on here. One problem I might encounter.. is there usually a lot of walking? I see your photo walks etc. I am kind of limited in how far (and how fast) I can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually do a photo walk of some sort (zoo, botanical garden, etc) but we can make it work. (My mobility will depend on how my back is doing on any given day and what the neurosurgeon says later this month.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'll let dh know the date and try to keep it open. I'm assuming he isn't going to that 10 month school since they haven't contacted him yet.

tiza126 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Whew... planning for this is going quickly. Yay! That weekend is free for me. I can either bum a ride in Laura's party van, or I'll just fly up. I think I have enough Southwest points to cover the flight to KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
