Hello everyone! Please note the discussion above entitled PIR 9-10-10 Members. Take just a minute to fill that out so we can get all our information together.
Thanks!

That's a thought but could do without diaper bag and stroller with 2 year old too. The biggest thing is that when they are this little, everything becomes about them and I really want this to be Greg's weekend, you know? Like go to the restaurants he wants to go to and do what he wants to do without having to cater to schedules and desires of small kids. My sister said she'd come down and keep them anytime but they really don't know her all that well and they are a handful. So we'll see... I have a feeling Greg is going to start asking us to bring them.

David will be going to A school to be a Corpsman.
I can understand the 2 yr old could be harder. Could you take one and not the other ? At least with the 4 yr old, no diaper bag, stroller etc etc
-

If they were 9, I would totally do it. They are 2 and 4, though. My 4 year old would be manageable. My two year old? Not so much.... What's David's rate? Greg will be in Maryland for 6 long months. Kind of a cold winter for my California kid!

I will find out about the Spring Hill suites....well...I surely understand the decision of taking younger ones. My twins are 9 and can be antsy but I figure David will only do this one in his life and Id want them to take some pics with David. Davids A school is right there in GL and is 14 weeks long !

Right. Did you see on that pamphlet they sent with the form letter they list all the hotels? I noticed some of them even had discount codes. Did you use a discount code? Also, I heard someone else talking about the Spring Hill Suites, but I couldn't tell where it was on the map compared to the Ramada. We may need a suite too if we end up taking our two littlest ones. I'm just not sure about taking them. I really don't want to but know Greg will be dying to see them since he has 6 months of A school before he gets any leave which means 8 months without seeing his little brothers. The other issue is the only person who has ever kept them overnight is Greg so we don't really have anyone to keep them and shockingly, people aren't exactly lining up to volunteer! Ha... Maybe there will be a contingent of us that need suites near the Ramada.

well as of now we are Michelle but paying for two rooms is a lot more expensive then some sort of suite so im going to look around more so in the Gurnee area. See your inbox

Good morning, Maureen! I had no idea they'd be filling up already! Better get my reservation today. Are you and Jerry still staying at the Ramada? I know a few of us are planning to so as many of us as possible can be together.

Morning Everyone :)
Hope this finds you all well. If you havent already, please also join your ship/div group. I will be posting links to them so you can easily find it. *** Also, please RSVP for our meet and greet. We need to know how many will be attending.
If you are planning on staying at the Ramada Inn, where the Meet and Greet is, you need to call soon as room are going fast. I wanted a family suite, since we have 6 going but they were already gone :(
Look for the links in the discussion part above in this group.
Have a wonderful day...Ill be here off and on :))
