Thanks Lynn!

First of all, thank you lynn for taking the lead on this. I'm all for the Resort in Galina, IL. Sounds like everyone else is at least OK with the idea. So in the interest of getting things moving forward, let's just go with it and get some solid numbers together on costs and secure our reservations. Again, I will have 2 people (Jennie & myself). I'm sure a down payment will be required. We'll need to work out how that payment will be handled by all of us, perhaps a separate person pays for the reservation of each individual house, then gets credit for that amount off the final bill on check out day. That will avoid the need to mail checks back or forth to each other. I will be happy to be one of those who puts up the reservation money should you agree that is the best way to go. Let's GET R' DONE!

Chris

I would vote for this one but she is over the weight limit..
Book the rooms Kim!!!!

I apologize in advance

I love the idea of renting a couple of houses. The hotel room option is going to be too difficult for us. We will have no place to party at night with a hotel room. If we went out at night, what do we do with the younger children? Also, then we are getting in cars after drinking too much. If we have a house, we COULD eat our meals in if we choose to. The hassle of finding a restaurant where we can eat together would be painful... not to mention expensive.

My biggest reason for making this long trip, by myself, is to visit with you. I think the fact that there may not be a lot to do in Galena might be a good thing. If we have too many other things to do, what is the point of having the reunion?

Ridge Runner

Eagle Ridge sounds nice to Colleen & I, and having a separate cottage/house is a nice idea since we are a bunch of loudmouths, but unless the houses are at least a 100 yards away from each other we may still have some noise complaints!!

I also see on their website that they are pet freindly, but it loooks like only one dog per house. My vote is for this one

Anywhere

Just for the record, Ted & Ellen are open to going anywhere. Ellen wonders what there is to do in Galena? I say golf! But there is not a lot else to do there are far as I know. So, The Dells or Chicago area work for us as well.

Ok... enough blogging for now....

I think I am in!

OK, I think I fugured out how this thing works. My first blog!
How the Hell is everyone doing!

I get the feeling we are looking at the Galena area. Sounds good to me. They have some good golf courses. Ellen and I would be there for sure. I think Laura and Ben would try to come as well, so we may need two rooms.
Did everyone watch the Badgers beat MSU yesterday? Tommy Izzo is still crying! Go Bucky!
