A few of us talked about getting together in Louisville in July and I thought I'd pass it along to you all. We are going the weekend of July 8th, 9th, 10th. (Fri, Sat & Sun). The link below is for the Holiday Inn we are staying in. It's actually right across the river in Clarksville, IN. I didn't block rooms because they offer 2 rates already, one is around $75 a night and the other is $55 a night if you PREPAY... so blocking rooms wouldn't get a better rate. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, minature golf (for a fee), their own water park (for a fee of $4 a person If I remember correctly) and a 12 acre lake for fishing (which my husband is VERY happy for LOL) I have already booked our room for our family, we did the prepay thing thanks to the IRS LOL. So, our family will be there regardless if anyone shows or not LOLOL! We actually are heading there Thurs until Sunday. We don't have anything planned. There is SO much to do in Louisville and FREE things to do, which is what we are kinda gearing for... and the zoo maybe. But it's more of a hang out and relax kinda thing.. ***nevermind about the link... it won't work if you try it... so... if you want to know where it is, go to www.holiday-inn.com and when you search, type in Clarksville, IN and only ONE hotel will come up... it's on the water there... that is the one we are staying in! Happy Trails! **edited to add it's Louisville, KY A.

Will be talking this over with DH. looks to be about an 8.5hr trip. Not too thrilled to do that long of a trip with 3 kids by myself so we'll see what he thinks! I've done that long of a trip before so it's a definite possibility!!!

Annette... you saying you don't know where Louisville is? Or the Holiday Inn? LOL Louisville is in Kentucky RIGHT on their border, with a river (ohio I do believe?) right there above them, then the Indiana border with Clarksville. It's northern KY. It's home to the Louisville Slugger, horse racing and a few other things.... Where are you Annette? A.

Barb~ Talk very sweetly to him please!!!!!
Annette~ It is exactly 11 hours and 16 minutes from your house. (that's what Yahoo tells me anyway!!) The map looks like you just "run" over to Philly, then down to Charleston WV and over to KY. It's also less than 2 hours south of Cincinnati, if that makes it easier to picture. It's a pretty area, and lots to do there!! You know you'd have lots of people to help out with the baby and I'll gladly take Ashley for you!!!

Susan, Are you going to meet us all in St. Louis? Hayli is hoping to get to hang out with Emily. I told her I thought you were thinking about it.
Will have to let you guys know later about Louisville. Hugs, Kristi

Kristi~ I wanted to be able to do that SO much!! I've wanted to meet Staci and Becky for years!!! And Emily would have LOVED to spend time with Hayli again. But we are leaving for Washington DC on a bus trip with her Girl Scout troop just a few days later, and I think it would be way tooo rushed to also spend the weekend in St. Louis. It's not TOTALLY out of the question, but I'm afraid it would not work. We'll definitely be in Louisville in July though!!! Susan

Hey Joyce, I checked it and that is correct.. the prepaid amount looks like it went up a bit Sorry. I am assuming it may be like airline bookings.. it gets more expensive as it gets closer to the date you need. So, everyone... the prepaid room amount has now gone up to $63 instead of $55 OR you can still just do a regular reserve and pay when you get there for $75 a night.... Can't wait!!! A.
