SodScrap Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I will have my truck and have room for 4 plus myself. OR, if you are feeling adventurous we can load the rest in the bed of my truck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiza126 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I did some preliminary research on the food/snacks availability near the hotel. The hotel does offer breakfast. Their website promises eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, yogurt and cinnamon rolls. As far as lunches and dinners, Google Maps shows plenty of options near the hotel: Panera Bread Jimmy Johns Qdoba Little Caesars Pizza Cracker Barrel Cold Stone Creamery Golden Corral Crazy Bowls & Wraps 54th Street Grill & Bar Starbucks Texas Roadhouse Subway Buffalo Wild Wings We're also right by a Target and a Dierbergs (grocery store)... so we can pick up any bottled water, drinks, or snacks we might need in addition to what people bring. 2 more days!!!

angleigh Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ugh...i'm sorry it looks like I will have to miss this one. I tried everything, even thought about coming in after the football game Friday night. But with Gary being gone most of this week and all weekend, and some more activities that the boys have that popped up on Saturday it just doesn't look like I will be able to make it. I'm so bummed because I really wanted this weekend away, but i'm sure you other mom's know sometimes we come last and have to put kid/husband/work in front of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be missed!! AND, I'm sure I can speak for Cheri-our trips will not be as entertaining as in previous trips! (what happens in the party van stays in the party van.....) Maybe we can schedule a spring meet up next year, seems maybe it's not as busy for some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anemone1983 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I can do either, or both. I live about 15 min from the airport. Actually, Theresa, I could pick you up at home also. Whatever you all decide, just let me know. So, if you do this, do I need to pick anyone up from the airport? We should have plenty of vehicles then too, so I don't need my sister's van, right? Oh, I am so excited! Can't wait to see you all! I'm still coming into the airport. I posted my flights awhile ago. Let me know if you can't find them and I'll post again.

KFiasco Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I hope you all have a fun time! I wish I was able to attend. Last year it was in Kansas City and I lived in St. Louis.

Cheri T Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Sorry I'm being so quiet on this thread. It's been a crazy, crazy busy week. I'm looking forward to SITTING and relaxing and scrapping and visiting. Oh yeah, and continuing my 1/2 marathon training. I MUST do 2 runs during the meet-up, and possibly 3. So I may disappear shortly after arrival tomorrow afternoon/evening to run 3 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodScrap Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Okay...so....I have a wrinkle for travel plans today. I have to get a replacement window to replace a truck window that was broken yesterday....It was ordered yesterday but I won't know until 8 or after what time it will be in. This adds an hour to my "to dos" to get done before I can leave. I was hoping to leave by noon, I doubt that happens now. IF I can get it and be on the road by 3, that would put me at STL at the end of rush hour and might not be too bad. (what are your thoughts on that timing local peeps??) I don't want to drive much later than that...by myself...in the dark...through the city.... Otherwise, I will leave between 6 and 7 in the morning...I will keep you updated. Updates after noon today I will send to Tiza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I hope they put a rush on it for you Conda! Good Luck with it! I'll be heading out after DH gets home from the dr. appt. He's there right now. I want a full report from him while it's fresh in his mind. Otherwise, he'll forget and I'll never know the status of his knee! Off to pack and get ready!

Laura Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Today! I am so excited! I can't wait to see you all. I am not sure when I will be there. My grandmother is having surgery today ( and my poor Lucy Dog is having surgery tomorrow so I will have to run home and take her to the vet, and pick her up in the late afternoon). I am hoping to get there by late afternoon, before dinner. As far as food and stuff goes, Tiza did a great job with the local joints with in a mile of the hotel. There are tons of options so if you are hungry for something, I can guarantee you will find it. I was going to make a suggestion of Shogun Japanese Steakhouse. You are seated in front of a grill and the chef cooks the food in front of you (fried rice, veggies and meat). It's an entertaining meal. Just a thought. Also, there is Dierburgs, which is a huge grocery store. That is in the area of the hotel as well. If everyone would text me their number, I would be grateful. Then, I can send the group the phone numbers so we all have them in case we need anything. If you could, please text me at 618-444-9631. See ya soon!
