Actually my house might be a good place for mid size get together. I can baby proof the inside...but outside is nice cuz it is walled in. I also have a terrific playhouse that has a little loft and adults can stand up in. When Sam and Max were here for Thanksgiving...we just shut the gates and put hangers around them to keep the boys from opening them up...and we all sat on the porch or inside and just let them play. Koi pond which is about a foot deep is the only hazard...not sure how to deal with that...But not sure I could import Emily for the weekend...depends on where she is in her life at that point. But she would really like to be part of it I am sure. Also to use my outside ...we need to plan around mosquitoes... Spring after snow season passes is best...or fall after bug season ends. But we can deal with most anything. This might be the impetus I need to do the painting inside I said we were going to do when we first moved in over a year ago. We have two bedroom doors that still say "Paige" and "Madelyn" and we have no idea who they are! Jackie PS...for those of you who haven't got a clue...Amarillo is ini the Panhandle or "top" part of Texas ...right square in the middle of that square at the topof the state. Best way to get here is by auto, SWA, or American. But Continental and United both fly a tiny plane in several times a day too. We are about a block off of I 40.

If you do come to Amarillo then maybe I could visit too since I live here as well. That would be great! It would be nice to put some names to a few faces.
I can see Jackie's house too. I have wondered what it looks like.

Debbie,
I would love to meet and talk with you, but alas, Amarillo is just too far for this little ole New Jerseyan.

OK Friends and Neighbors....my vote is for HOT LANTA....or for you non southerners...LOL...ATLANTA. Why...you may ask??? Cause I'm already planning to be there with bells on..... I have already promised myself that if a national conference came this close, I would not miss it and NDSC is going to be there this July 21 st through the 23 rd.
Check this out!
"As your child grows and changes, so do your family's needs. Don't miss a chance to learn and share at our annual "family reunion". Next year's NDSC convention will be the only national DS convention in the USA and Atlanta is within a short 2 hour flight of 80% of America's population. Make your plans now to attend!
For just $109 per night for a regular room, we'll be staying at the stunning Marriott Marquis. This architectural masterpiece is known for its soaring 50 story atrium and served as the host hotel for the International Olympic Committee during the '96 Summer Games. With its wonderful guest and meeting rooms, indoor/outdoor pool and attached Peachtree Center shopping and dining options, the Marquis may be our greatest hotel experience ever!
And, as the home of Cartoon Network, you can expect that Atlanta is a great family summer vacation destination! Within a short walk of the hotel are the world's largest aquarium (with the only shark whales in captivity outside Asia), the Atlanta Children's Museum, Underground Atlanta, Centennial Olympic Park, CNN Studio Tours, the World of Coca-Cola and more. A short trip via car or MARTA (which has a rail station attached to the hotel) brings you to the home of the Braves, Turner Field, as well as Six Flags over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, White Water, the newly expanded High Museum, Zoo Atlanta and its famous pandas, and, of course, world-renowned shopping, dining and so much more!
Don't miss out on the fun and fellowship. Our "reunion" wouldn't be the same without you. Plan your family's summer vacation for Atlanta today."
So....I'm sure some of the unomasers will be there....please post up on the other thread and maybe some of us will be registering for the same sessions. I would love it if we had a crowd. We are trying to get interest in a group attending from our local organization, too. So maybe we can get some big unomas buttons to make sure that we can spot each other across a room.
Hope to see lots of folks in Hot Lanta! Tricia

I've checked a few things..........from my house to Pittsburg is 9 hrs. My house to Indianapolis is 7 hrs. Where else should I check??
And Robin.........just for you, I checked the same spots. Your house to Indianapolis is 6 hrs. Your house to Pittsburg is 6 hrs 21 minutes. I thought about Pittsburg cause it would be easier for the East coast families.
And then, there is St. Louis. We could make it really easy on Adrienne!!! (8.5 hrs for Robin....sigh)
Any other suggestions?
