I love the idea for the window! On the couple trip, we were in the triangle at the Dolphin and I had a black mickey head with the DIS written on it for all of the BW to see.

It's a little past my bedtime (1:30!


) so I'll have to come back for the game tomorrow.
HI Barbara! WOW! 1:30 IS late! Hope you get a good night's sleep!
That's funny you hung it in a place for all of BW to see!

Good idea!
come back tomorrow for the game- it tends to go a bit faster during the week.

That is a great smiley! It did kinda look like that tonight when I spoke to Joe...

We didn't fully talk it out, but he did seem interested - it would be a quick trip, just a weekend sorta thing due to him not having any extra vacation days...and it's REALLY close to when we leave for WDW, but, it is not out of the question!

I'll talk to him again tomorrow and we can price hotels, etc. to see if it will work out....I'll letcha know! Are you gonna be at the meet Glenn? My hubby would like another guy to chat with so he isn't just defaulted to "baby duty".
Glenn IS coming- I just got he and Judy's RSVP today!

And I"m sorta thinking it's the other way around. I think Glennbo would be OVERLY thrilled to have another guy there, so he has a bit less 'splainin' to do to Judy.

Also, Rob (My_Pal_Pluto) is seriously thinking of coming, as well as The Capells. So, could be up to 4 guys?
Everyone coming is just making it a quick trip- overnight or less. I wish I could just invite you all to crash at my sister's house, but well, she doesn't know you, and that might be kinda weird.
When you mention "Bowling Green" I instantly think of the last stop in Manhattan on the 6 train. It's near Wall Street. Why it's called Bowling Green I have NO idea. It is near a park though...
I bet if I researched what the real Bowling Green was it would make more sense.
Oh wow! It DOES make sense. Who woulda thunk it?

It's actually the name of a park there, but not the park I mentioned above - it's more like a small area of pretty brickwork with a tree in it-a plaza, and the famous "Bull" statue. I had no idea that was called Bowling Green.
I love doing research like this!! It's amazing what you can find out, if you take the time! However, having said that, I have not looked into why Bowling Green, KY is named that. I assume it's because of a park or such as well. I just know they have lots of horses and the Corvette Factory, which I'm pretty excited to visit this trip.
I REALLY want to come to the meet. I hope it works out!!! If we can find a decent hotel at a decent price + know we can get SOME touring done on Saturday it just might be a go!
I REALLY hope it works out too!! It's shaping up to be a really nice bunch of folks, whom most of which have hung out for a while now on the DIS. I have no doubt we'll have as much fun together in real life as we do online.
I think you could spend ALL day (and more) on the Mall. I LOVE the Smith (free!) and my favorite memorial is the new-ish Roosevelt one. If you want to go to the top of the Washington, you'll have to get there FIRST THING as it's a ticket thing now, and they are gone by like 10:00 AM.
14 boxes? That's IT?! Wow. We didn't do
that well with downsizing! It is strange to see everything from your life packing away into boxes though...sometimes hard decisions on what stays/goes can be emotionally draining as well. I'm a "tosser", but Joe is a "keeper", so it took him a LOT longer, but he never ever has to say, "Whatever happened to (fill in the blank). Oh ya...I threw it away..."
14 is how many we're shipping ahead of us. Of course, we're also allowed the one per person on the plane as well, so in total 19 boxes (Rubbermaid Totes) and our carryons. The rest gets sold, tossed or given away. Period.
It's VERY emotionally draining, and is definitely causing a bit of friction in the household. If you think about it, could you remember us in that area. I'm sure you can read between the lines there.
Morning Liesa!
