I'm so glad that you all had such a great time! I hope you get to do it again.

Janet, you live in such a GREAT location - I had to look it up and if I inputed the correct city (Frankfort, IN) you only live 45 miles from Indianapolis and 145 miles from Chicago. Is that correct? Girl, that's a GREAT location!!! I've visited both Indianapolis and Chicago and love both cities. Do you ever visit either???

I've only been to Chicago when I was in the 6th grade and then again when Ricky was in the 6th grade. That is what 6th graders do in our county...have a Chicago trip where they go to the Museum of Science and Industry, Museum of Natural History and the Aquarium. I did go with my girlfriend just south of Chicago to the gambling boats once.

Now Indy is a different story. I know how to get to a few places and there is lots to do there...I only know how to get to the airport, zoo and Children's museum, oh and the state house.

We ought to have a meet-up and everyone fly into the Indianapolis airport. We would have a blast!!!

Yes! An Indianapolis meetup would be the BERRIES!!! I've only been there a couple of times, both to conferences. Once we stayed right downtown at a hotel that attached to or was right beside a mall. It must have been in November because downtown was decked out in Christmas lights - it was so beautiful!!!

I'm home!!! I got back in town about 7:30 this evening. Glen called and I picked him up at the church and we went out to eat so it took me a while to get home. It was a very long trip but well worth it!!

Janet, I can't imagine that we left any subject out in our talks!!!!!! It was a good thing that it was just you and me because someone else wouldn't have been able to get a word in edge-wise!!!! LOL

Yes, I stopped and took pictures of Stoney and the courthouse! After going around the square I lost my sense of direction and started out the wrong way!!! Oh well, it was just the first of many turn arounds that I had!!!! I didn't go to far on any of them before I realized that I had made a wrong turn though. I traveled just a couple of miles less than 1,400 miles in all!!! Oh, and Janet, I did stop at an antique shop just east of Kansas City. It was a nice break to be out of the Tahoe for awhile!!! My poor tailbone!!!!

Reuger was sooooo glad to see me when I got home!!! I wish that you could have seen him come running!!! So cute!!! Jaci said that he'd been really staying close to her this evening so she figured that he was really missing me! Actually, everyone missed me!! It's so nice to be missed!!!

Now........I have to figure out where do I go next?

Can't imagine you not going to Chicago more. Here in Texas, it's nothing to drive 150 miles or more to see something, a sporting event or to shop. We've actually driven 100 miles, each way, just to go out to eat at a certain restaurant. This is slowing down a little with the higher gas prices, but we, Texans, still love to travel. We are somewhat familiar with all the major cities within a 200 mile radius of our home.

So glad you had a wonderful time!!! A meetup in Indianapolis sounds like a great idea. Maybe sometime in the late winter or spring, after the holidays at least.

Diana, if you ever get to San Antonio again, let all of us know. Maybe we could have a mini-meetup there. There are several of us down here. Gayle isn't far from SA or perhaps we could meet in Austin. That's even closer for her, and Sandy isn't too far away. Her drive would be a little more than mine, but not much, once her foot heals. Maybe others could fly in and join us.

It's true Marilyn! We do drive A LOT in Texas. I too have driven a 120 miles each way to eat out. I grew up in rural Oklahoma and we might have a basketball game, on a school night, at a town 60-70 miles away. It was not unusual. In Texas everything is so far apart, generally speaking that lots of driving is the norm!

Your meetup idea sounds GREAT!!!

[DianaB]

Going to Texas sounds like fun! Maybe next year we can plan something!!! My husband's nerves need to settle down after me driving so far this time. He really doesn't like for me to go so far alone!!!

Looks like you had a ton of fun! That's so awesome you guys got a weekend to hang out together!

[HALEY]

So glad you guys had such a wonderful time... Maybe one day, we will all get together and meet everyone, doesn't that sound fun....

[Mandy]

Thats AWSOME!!!!! It sure looks and sounds like you ladies had a total blast! You really need to do these weekends more often!!
