PAST--RiddleCon!

[paras4ri]

I want one of Will's shirts too....with some minor editing. Can it say:

I couldn't go to Riddle-Con 2003
But it's OK because everyone there
Got Kicked out of the Day's Inn
for swimming without pants!!!!

I'm picturing the manager in his office with the door locked and funiture piled against it as a barricade Bernie. . ROTF!!!

Can't wait to hang out with you buddy!!


Glo, I'm guessing Magiie and I will roll in about noon Friday. . when we know for sure maybe we can meet up and do a little sight-seeing, pool our bail money, etc. .

Juli, is it really only an hour from where you live?? I somehow thought it took 2 1/2 hours to get there from my house (that was YEARS ago though). Also how do you go up there from where you are? I know I used to take 23 for a while and then catch another highway but for the life of me I can't remember and I don't know of 71 to 250 is too much of a back track.

If it only takes an hour from your house to get there then I can try to rethink this and make it for dinner... maybe sneak out an hour early too just to give me a chance to relax

Willy-That shirt has me ROTFLMAO!!!

I want the Riddle Con shirt for sure Laura!!!!

I'm okay with whatever catered food item everyone else wants.

Dinner on Friday before the Pantless-Pool Party is alright with me!

I'd be glad to hang onto the bail money for you Willy!

You are all making this sound like so much fun!!! I'm still not sure how far this is from the Chicago area???...and I really don't do roller-coasters Besides the coasters and of course, the fun pantless Riddle group in the OK Corral, what else is at Cedar Point?? I am still thinking about this one!!!! Either way, I'd love one of the t-shirts!! (Either one!!LOL!)

Donna...I've been told it's about 5 hours but I figure like 6 cause I don't drive like a maniac (I swore it took me 7 hours to get to Toledo but that was from here also). Mapquest says 6 hours and 21 min from your area.

Baboo - Maumee was gonna be a possibility of one of our stops on the way. It was a very relaxing stay when we were there 5 years ago. They have a very nice beach area and it was just relaxing. There is quite a bit of exploring you can do between there and Sandusky - the African Wildlife Safari park is also another one of our possible stops on the way. We also plan on stopping at Marblehead and the lighthouse. It is just a very nice place to take a nice drive and relax and see the scenery!!! I loved that area when we were there and told dd we'd have to go back sometime.....So I'm looking forward to this. I'm hoping dh will be able to come cause he seemed interested in the things I told him about. If I get a chance...I'll scan some pics of our trip and post them....just for an "early glance" at what there is to see and do.

Oh goody!!! A dinner meet on Friday night! Sounds great! Maybe if the pool party idea doesn't work for so many, we could all get together at the beach at the State Park? The kids could swim in the lake while the adults party on the beach. At least there, group size wouldn't be a problem.

I like the Beach idea. So does hubby That is IF we change our plans and come in on Friday like everyone else!!

Guess what tho.......I went to Days Inn website and the $69 offer isn't there anymore I had just gotten the OK from hubby to stay at Days Inn instead of Breakers, too. Bummer!

Bummer, Kitty. Well...looks like your hubby will get his wish for sand after all.

 

[Kitty 34]

Might put him in a tent on the sand, Nancy!!

 

[Ranatra]

Glo,
I'm arriving earlier! Will be there sometime on Thursday. So, if you're looking for people for breakfast Friday morning, count me in!

 

[Baboo]

I'm now rethinking Maumee since it appears to be an hours drive away from CP. There are some others in the area that I'm looking at. Does anyone that lives around there know of any good campgrounds in the area?

 

[BarryHom]

I've been thinking about attending. Maybe my 100th coaster can be Dragster! I'll probably be arriving in Sandusky on Friday morning and wandering around CP.

 

[NancyIL]

Baboo - Cedar Point has its own campground, but they don't allow tents: http://cedarpoint.com/public/trips/resorts/camper/camper.cfm

Elaine when I drove it 2 years ago It took me an hour and 1/2 but I had a lot of stuff on my mind and didn't know my way that well. Last year when Danny drove it it took us about an hour maybe a bit more.

 

[helenabear]

Thanks for that info (and PM) Juli... I am checking that route out on a map (so I can visualize it). I do think that's the way we took a while back. If it does take you even 1 1/2 hours to get there while distracted, then I bet it will take me about 2 and some change (not a full 2 hours) as I get up to the Ashley exit in about 45 minutes or so from my house

 

[Baboo]

Thanks Nancy but unfortunately we tent.

 

[BarryHom]

I was checking rates for the onsite resorts. Breakers Express is the cheapest at around $119! Ouch!

 

[WillyJ]

Hey Barry!!!

I know rooms are a bit pricey up there, but I hope you can work something out and make it buddy!!
