OK.....did anyone go to the SandCastle Site.... Sandcastle/ Kennywood Combo Pass 10+ TBA Valid for a Whitewater Pass to Sandcastle Waterpark and a Night Rider Pass to Kennywood. Night Rider Pass is good any evening at Kennywood after 6pm. Additional $2.00 discount if paid 2 weeks in advance, however these tickets are non refundable. No additional discounts apply, and the passes must be purchased by one person. Just a thought!!! Connie Ok....now for whoever is in charge....they offer group rates that may need to be checked into!!!

Oh Connie girl, that sounds like perfect to me, as Chase cant take the sun, it would be good to do evening at the admusement park for us and water park for day time!!!!!!! I think Susan and I agreed Donnita would be the lady in charge of our trip as A says she isnt going so we cant make her do it and Donnita is so good about it So does this mean you are coming for sure Connie? Say yes please. Dolly I am so glad to hear you guys are coming too!! It has been a long time girl! I am so excited already, is it July yet? (BTW I could really use some July heat, we are in a deep freeze here in Michigan brrrrrr, even the snowmen are heading south!) hugs, Robin

OK, hope I'm not stepping on our fearless leader Donnita's toes here but I looked at the various Pittsburgh area Holiday Inns. Having lived in the Pittsburgh area for 3 years before moving to this god forsaken tundra also known as Buffalo ( Cathy, lay off of the whooooshing would ya PLEASE!!! ) figured I could easily figure out the closest one. I would post links to these places but for some reason ( could it be old age, senility, or just a plain old brain fart??? ) I can't get it to work!!! If you go to the Holiday Inns website and do a search for West Mifflin, PA you'll get a list of area hotels. The one that is the closest to Kennywood and Sandcastle is a Holiday Inn Express ( NO pool!!! ) right in West Mifflin The other choice that is close by is the Holiday Inn - Monroeville ( Mossside Blvd ). It has the requisite indoor pool we all love!!! Both of these have free parking which several of the other ones did not - up to $10 a day at some of the hotels!!! Another option is the Holiday Inn - Parkway East. It does have a pool and free parking. We stayed there last summer but I wasn't terribly impressed. It was n't near any restaurants..... if you strayed too far from the hotel the area got kind of seedy and run down. This would definitely not be my first choice. One thing we do have to keep in mind is the geography of the area...... things can look close together on a map BUT you have to take into account where the bridges are and having to take strange routes because you have drive AROUND a hill!!!! I'll give some friends who live down there a call and see where they would suggest and let y'all know what they think!!! I also have some neat places that would be fun for the "Mom's Night Out" portion of our festivities!!! Barb

Cbean - I'm with you!! I'll admit it, I'm a hotel snob, I can't help it. But . . . I will stay wherever the group does as long as the bathroom passes my inspection upon arrival! LOL I am soooo excited about this trip. I'm pretty sure our plans to travel out west are in the tank so we should be able to make Pittsburgh!!! ;D BTW, we were watching Funniest Home Videos - the uncensored version - and there is a woman going down a water slide at a park and loses her top - who was that from the last Uno get together - Connie? Huh, wonder if that was YOU on that video Connie! LOL Jessie

CBean & Jessie, I too would much prefer the Ritz however PGH is not quite that civilized!!! We have stayed at the William Penn in downtown PGH and it was gorgeous!!! But that was a special occasion ( 10th anniversary ) and now we couldn't afford a glass of water there!!! You guys will just have to go slumming with the rest of us!!!

Barb...lol, I was kindly joking. In my dreams I can afford the Ritz Carlton Anywhere!!! I can't think of a better group of people to slum with!!! Oh gosh are all those Pittsburgh people going to be disgusting 'cause their team won the superbowl? My Giant fan husband may have a problem with that.

Unfortunately the only way we will be able to make it is if my Dear ole Dad will let us borrow his truck again. Since we have my nephew now we have outgrown our Exploder ok Explorer. So the way I figure it if I keep the sweets heading his way without putting him into a Diabetic Coma we should be ok or I could just sneak to his house leave the Explorer ( of course I'll leave a nice little note and his favorite popcorn and milkduds on the seat ;D ) and since I know where his spare truck keys are do a switch aroo LOL. Ok keep your fingers crossed ;D Oh and the best part is it's only about 4 1/2 ours from here Ok anybody want to crash here the night before and get a good nights sleep and head out fresh the next morning ;D
