Great News!

[Beanie]

Well for me anyway...if you all are set for July 12th, so am I!!

I talked to DH tonight and he thought it was a wonderful idea to go to Hershey, PA and meet you all!! (I think I talk too much about my RP friends at home!!) Anyway, I am all set now to commit to this date if it is good for everyone else!! I am so excited, I can't wait to meet everyone!!

 

[Belle0101]

Oh my gosh!! I'm so excited!! I can't believe this is really going to happen!!

I was just about to shut down the computer and go to bed but I thought I'd pop on the RP board real quick and see if there was anything new ...

Now I won't be able to sleep from being so excited!! We'll have to add countdown timer to our sigs. now!!

 

[Beanie]

Oooh, great idea, Belle!! I think we should do that too!! It really is exciting being able to plan this now...well you all could have planned it anyway, but now that I am actually going, I am so excited!!

Look out, PA, the RP girls are on their way!!

I think this calls for a Baileys!

Just wanted to say that this morning I have huge puffy red eyes! I was so excited about you being able to make the trip too that I couldn't sleep! DH was alseep so I wrote him a note that you could go!

Maybe some of the puffy eyes is that for some reason both kids had bad dreams last night. Of course they couldn't have had them at the same time. No, DS4 had his first and then about 3 hours later DS8 had one. I'd take a nap but last night I had another sale on half.com and need to run to Walgreens to get envelopes!

Speechless, but not quite,, I could almost hug your husband beanie for giving the okay,, Yahoo things are really starting to come together..Now if mal would just answer my email, That'd be nice If I don't hear from her soon ,,I'll give her a call,, I really want her there even if I have to kidnap her and drive her up here myself .. I am going to PM everyone my email so we can work out the details of this trip,, like how many days everyone plans on staying and where everyone is staying.. ( I still have rooms available, so far belle's the only one to book a room with me )
I'm also looking into group rates and a brithday party in the picnic grounds,,shhh Don't tell you know who ..

I am also alittle nervous about this trip,, I hope nobody tells my DH how many times I tried to get rid of him and the kids during these SP exchanges,, I'm sure he wouldn't be amused as you all were Look for a PM from me soon .. Laurie

 

[Belle0101]

Sweetpea - can we fax in room requests to you just like at Disney?

Now let's see, since this is starting to come together I better get a shopping list together - a girdle (don't want anybody to see my kangaroo pouch), anti-wrinkle cream (no explanation needed), some tanning appointments, hair coloring ...

Does you know who have to discuss their age at any potential b'day party? 'Cause I'll spill the beans about sweetpea trying to swap her DH and children if so! You know old people have a habit of forgetting.

 

[Tantor]

I will finally get to meet you!!
As far as a counter I will just let Denise do that as she does such a wonderful job with pictures and smilies...............

I am so excited to meet all of you. Yes, let's try to get Mal on board!!!

[Debi]

Hmmm....Hershey Park on 7/12? I didn't know about this! Give me details - this sounds interesting!

 

[Tantor]

We have kind of just started to throw this around. We have picked July 12 at Hershey Park to meet. Nothing else has been planned yet. Were working on it.
Are you in???? The more the merrier.............

 

[Beanie]

Oooh Debi, I hope you are able to make it!! Maybe we will finally be able to meet up with each other!!

Laurie, you are just way to funny!! I am really looking forward to meeting you and everyone else!!

 

[odddog]

Or do we just crash the party like usual??
One question the 12th is a monday - any reason? Trying to make a weekend of it so as not to take too many days off work (Disney trip a week later) but would love to meet everyone, and hey I will even bring drinks!! Is this date firm??

 

[Tantor]

Not sure why it's a monday. Laurie (sweetpea3812) is taking charge of this event so you will have to ask her.
We are making a trip of it as it will take 2 days for us to get there and then we will go onto Washington DC.
We would love to have you join us. Are you bringing the family along? Chloe would LOVE to meet your daughter. (she has her picture on her desk!)

 

[dtuleya]

Just saw this thread. Sorry I haven't been more active about posting, but I'm soooooo excited about meeting all of you! I don't know if I'll be renting a room since it is less than an hour away for me. Now if we're talking about hitting the Hershey Spa to get drenched in chocolate then I can definitely talk DH into staying overnight.

Sure Gregg, RP guys are invited along too! The more the merrier!

Debi, I sure hope you can go too it would be sooo much fun!

 

[odddog]

Of course I would bring the family an RP bad boy is nothing without his CHICK (sorry Denise I know how you hate that word!!LOL) and family. Katelyn wants to meet everyone that is what is motivating me and DW to go .....plus the fact that we haven't been to hershey park since sinjin was born! Monday may still be an issue, is anyone going to be there on Sunday the 11th??
Laurie how about you, will you already be there??

 

[Luvdancink]

This is great news! I would love to meet you all! This is less than an hour from me and I have season passes to hershey park. Let me know some more details! Oh ad that Spa thing would be a wonderful idea ;-)

That's ok Gregg, just don't want to think of myself as an ugly bird. Can't wait to meet you, Katelyn and the family! I'm flexible with dates since I live in the area. Just let me know.

Your supposed to EAT the chocolate, not smear it all over your body (STOP what you are thinking, this is a family board!!)
You will find me in the little store they have at chocolate world buying Reeses peanut butter cups and Hersey kisses and those cool chocolate cards that they write your name on, and jolly ranchers and... shoot I have to make reservations at the Hilton Garden Inn!!!..........

 

[Tantor]

(minds out of the gutter people!)

Denise, is Hershey Highmeadow Campground a good campground to stay at? Is it close to the park? And how far in advance do I need to make reservations?
Is there anyway we can move the meet up to the 11th (Sunday) instead of the 12th?
