Love ya all and CAN'T WAIT!!! xoxoxoxoxo

I want to come too! You are making us all jealous. Can someone send me the exact details? Thanks!

What days are you looking at? I think one of the hardest things for me being my husbands sole caretaker was the isolation. I would love to go and meet everyone, I work so if it isn't a weekend I may not be able to stay the entire time but either place is close enough for me to drive.
Cathy

Brenda,
Where are you in Minnesota? I promised my Grand-daughter that I would take her and a friend to Mall of America. I would love some adult company.
Cathy

Cathy,

Happy Booking! :)

I went ahead and booked a room at the Redstone Inn for Sept 14, 15 and 16th. In talking with the guy there, he recommends to book as early as you can so we can have the entire place for our group. 2 rooms are already booked by others for the weekday but they go home on weekends.....
It would be awesome if we had the whole place to ourselves.............

Hey everyone...just to make things clear - you only have to book your room - not 5. I just added the info from the email I got from the innkeeper that we needed to get a minimum of 5 rooms booked in order to get the 20% discount. So - please, just book what you need! :)

I am booked for the 14 & 15th WhoHooooo!

Mine are made too..... YIPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in too!!!!!!!!!!! The 14th and 15th.
