Ok, let's talk LABOR DAY!!!
If anyone wants to be the official Labor Day planner, please please do! But, I'm going to jump in here and throw out a few ideas.............
How about the Dayton Ohio area for the Labor Day weekend?????
I have found 2 Holiday Inn Holidomes that have available rooms. One is the Dayton NORTH on I75 and Waggoner Ford Rd. I think this one is about $89 per night.
The other one is the Dayton SOUTH on Dryden Rd. It is around $77 per night. ($68 on Sunday night)
Both of these have indoor pools, fitness rooms, etc. And kids eat free. However, as we have learned........when kids eat free, usually the adult meals at the Holiday Inns are pretty pricey!
There are also a few Holiday Inn EXPRESS hotels in the Dayton area. We personally LOVE Holiday Inn Expresses cause they have an awesome FREE breakfast, including those wonderful cinnamon rolls that they advertise on TV. The ones I saw also had indoor pools.
I can keep looking, but wanted to toss these out there. I'm still hoping to find one that has an outdoor pool too.
The one we stayed in a couple years ago in Sharonville had both indoor and outdoor pools. It was a bit closer to Cincinnati than Dayton.
What do you think?????

Hmmmmmmmmm I've been looking at all the hotels in that area and am already finding no availablility! I'll bet it's those soccer players again! GRRRR. You'd think they could pick a better time to do those tournaments......I'll keep looking. I really am hoping for an indoor AND outdoor pool if possible.
Jessie........can you and your "boys" come?? I hope so!!

OK~I'm back and of couse, as you kow, we missed the last trip that I really wanted to go on. As it happened, our Michigan trip was ending right when the Uno Mas trip was staring and it would have been too much. Of course, I was also having major computer issues and couldn't even get on here. So, I am definitely not committing us to this trip but will discuss the possibilty with Bernie. I dont think it looks too good now as money is prety tight.

Well.....since we seem to have missed the most recent get-together due to all of our legal crap.....I would love to try for a dayton trip. i know the kids would have a blast....that is depending on what happens in court. BTW....please say lots and lots of prayers for things to go well for us. thanks.

Okay if I get to vote...... I am also into Springhill Ohio which is a bit north of Dayton. I vote for that for two reasons, the first being it would be free of the soccer boys and probably have more availibility in rooms and maybe a bit cheaper at that. (btw remember Sandy said we can get rooms in her name so they are cheaper Sus) and second and MOST importantly..... after the 8 and 1/2 hour trip home from Ind/Kty, it is EXTREMELY amazing my children are still alive and doing well. I wasnt too sure if they were going to toss one another out of the car or if I was going to beat them to it and I dont think I would look good in stripes, kwim?  ?? So I think I should have the shortest driving time this time ;D   hugs, Robin |

I just called there and they do have rooms available (I asked for 6 rooms, not knowing how many exactly). I could barely hear the reservationist and it sounded like she said the rate would be $99 for rooms with 2 dbl beds. There was some deal that would get it down to $79, but I couldn't make out what she was saying (it was an extremely poor connection).
So, sounds like they do have rooms, just not sure how much they will be!
Is this what we are doing, are we ready to make reservations? If so, how long is everyone staying, etc.?
