After several of us have researched numerous hotels in the area where we have planned the get together, we have decided that the BEST option is to stick with the Spring Hill Suites. The prices of various hotels are very similar........within $10-$15 of each other, and many are 40+miles from the 2 parks we plan to visit.
SO..............I'm going to sign the contract and send it back to the Spring Hill Suites and will post the number for each family to call and reserve their own room. Remember that we have till around June 23rd to get them reserved before they are released to the public.
This hotel has an indoor pool, a FREE continental breakfast, and is within 15 minutes of the two parks.
Now..........let's start saving $$ for the FUN stuff to do there!!

Well... I will let you all know... and this is especially for Pat here! After ALL the awful stress endured this past 3 weeks and kevin ALMOST lost his job... I asked him if he wanted Atlanta or Pitts (since he isn't going to loose his job and we have vacation time coming LOL).. and he was always leaning towards Atlanta over Pitts... he really wanted to go to this conference... but with all the crap we just dealt with... job, health stuff, ect... he said.... "I do NOT want to go to some conference and waste my vacation... it doesn't sound relaxing or like fun anymore.. I am leaning to going to Pittsburgh...." ;D So.. there ya have it... if we can pull this off.. since i have a $300 Expedia gift card.. we can do Pittsburgh!!!! It's a 9.5 hour drive for us WITHOUT stops sooooooo I have told him that we might have to break our drive up... leave 1/2 day Thurs... maybe even let him work for a few hours and even me.. and stay half way somewhere.. then come in early Friday AM to Pitts. And stay until Monday afternoonish and drive half way.. coming home on Tues. We are members to our zoo so if we come on Friday... we might hit the zoo.. since we are zoo lovers... gotta hit the zoo. I will try to just follow someone else's lead on all this amusement/waterpark stuff... but I will have to also play that by ear... because Russell doesn't DO amusement parks too well and mommy doesn't either in the heat... but he LOVES waterparks! ASK Susan, Robin and Connie! LOL If everyone heads to Kennywood and kev and I feel that is a bit too much, I told Susan she might have to adopt Regan for the day and Kev and I could head to that Idlewild park.. that is more up my alley.. and Russell's But.. we are easy... we will try to keep up with you all!!! I know you talked about Kennywood in the afternoon evening so that might work... but we will just see... just getting there and hanging out with you all is the FIRST step!!!! Hugs.... A. |
