Kaitlin'smom wrote: Its almost offical (just have to book the room) but Kaitlin & I will be there Nov 3 & 4th. Let me know who would like to get toghter.

we will be in Kankakee, Illinois and open to do something on sat evening or sunday evening, but are bussy sunday during the day.

coasterqueen replied: Let me check with Ryan because if we come in the evening we'll have to find a hotel room ourselves since it is a good distance for us. I'll let you know.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I don't think we have anything going on that weekend. What time do you think you would be able to get toghther Sunday? Maybe we could do a late lunch/early dinner.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I hope you can I would love to me up with you. just let me know.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
not sure what time but probably in time for dinner.

coasterqueen replied: If we did it Sunday evening it would have to be early evening because I would have to drive back that night. I can't take off of work on Monday.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
either one works for me, I would love for all of us to met at the same time but if it does not work and its one sat and one sun I am okay with that. just let me know what works for you.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: If you can come up with a time on Saturday that would be good. We have A LOT of birthday's in Nov. so I am not sure if there are parties or going out to eats going on!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I think I will be in around 3-4p (when I can check in) and will be avaiable after that till about 8:30p, will have to get some sleep

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: OK that sounds good, even if I can't do dinner at least we can meet and chat for a bit!!!

coasterqueen replied: That would be perfect time too. Maybe then Ryan and I can just drive back that night and save hotel costs. I have lots of hotel points, but I need to use those for our Georgia trip.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Karen how long of a drive is it for you?

holley79 replied: Oh that sounds like loads of fun. I hope you both have a great trip.

coasterqueen replied:
Roughly 2 hours and 36 minutes with no stops. That's not bad, but we do usually have to make at least one stop.

So if we left Kankakee around 8 pm at the latest we should be home by 11 pm. We have Y classes in the morning and they get over at 11 am - so we could head that way after eating lunch.

It's my turn that Sunday to take Kylie and her cousin to Sunday school, so I'd prefer to go back that night if possible.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Thats sounds good, there is a pool at the hotel, so the girls could swim if you want or we could go someplace. I will have to look and see whats around the area to go eat or do. I dunno whats around but I am on the hotel website now and looking around.

coasterqueen replied: Ooh swimming sounds fun. Although I'm not sure I want you all to see me in a swim suit. Kylie will swim on her own, though and Megan usually just plays near the steps.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
not sure I want to run around in one either but it was a thought. I can see what else there is to do before we fully decided.

I am getting excited!!!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Well there isn't too many resturaunts in Kankakee, but there are a lot in Bradley. Which all you have to do is get back on I57 and go north to exit 315. Here are some of the places to eat.

TGIFriday's
Wild Buffalo Wings
Baker's Square
Applebee's

Not sure how cold it will be but there is also a place behind the mall called Hidden Cove

Well Karen if Ryan is coming maybe I will bring Bart so he isn't the only guy.

coasterqueen replied: We have the trip scheduled. We thought we'd leave for Kankakee after lunch so we should be there around 3 pm Saturday. I told DH we would leave at 8 pm at the latest so we could get home that night.

YAY!!!!!

Sarah - Dh is coming. He always goes with me when I meet someone online. Most times he doesn't stay though because he feels uncomfortable but if there are other men there he would. So if you don't bring Bart and Di's husband doesn't come then he'll go off and do something himself.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I will talk to Bart and see what he wants to do. So we will meet around 3:00 on Saturday then??

Kaitlin'smom replied: WOOO HOOO I am excited to met you all

no my DH will not be with us he cant take any time off work and I wont be able to head abck till monday, so as of right now its just Kaitlin and I.

I can try for 3pm however I dont know if I can check in early, I would like to check in and get our stuff to the room before we met up, I will see if the hotel will let me check in around 3p then I can met up at 3:30ish depending on where we met up.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Just let me know the time and I will be there!!

coasterqueen replied: Same here. I can meet up any time you need to Di. I just need to leave town around 8 pm so I get home at a decent time.

YAY! I can't wait.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I got the room booked check in is at 4pm I might be able to check in early but wont know till the day of.

Kaitlin'smom replied: 8pm is fine casue I will need to get her bathed and in bed for the event the next day, I will try and get into town around 3p myself and see if I can check in early.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Would you like my phone #'s I can PM them to you.
