Summer plans

[sillygoosegirl]

* May 19 (or sometime later) - "The Da Vinci Code"
* May 26 (or sometime later) - "X-men 3"
* May 27-29 - Camping in Wisconsin w/ Ed and Mandy
* June 13-18 - Anniversary Trip and E&M Wedding (tickets not yet purchased)
* June 20-July 25 - "Tennis Under the Lights" every Tuesday and Thursday evening (Des Plaines Park District - registration sent, awaiting confirmation)
* June 26-August 21 - "Beginning Yoga" every Monday evening (Des Plaines Park District - registration sent, awaiting confirmation)
* June 30-July 2 - Celebration Weekend Contra Dance in Indianapolis... likely with Micah and Ariel (?), possibly also Nick (?), maybe other people too, but I don't think we know anyone else in the area who contra dances. However, I'm not sure about us providing transportation as we are thinking of camping at the dance site and may continue on to Cincinnati afterward to see Josh's parents. (Register before June 15th if possible, http://www.indycontra.org/Dances/Celebration_Dance_Weekend/FullDetails.php)
* July 2-4 - Visit Josh's parents (?)
* Labor day - do something fun and exciting of some sort
* At some point (or multiple points) - Check out the water park down the street

This looks like it's going to be a fun summer.

This list should be especially useful to Rachel. She can use it to plan her trips to Chicago so that she is always here when I have other plans.

Yeah, $95 a night? Have you contacted any of the other places? We stayed at the Microtel suites last year, and it was fine, as I recall. Maybe they have better rates?

Also, there is housing to apply for, or, obviously, camping.

I poked at all the things that were pokeable-at from online, and didn't get a better price; most places were entirely booked up. I haven't called anyone without a website yet (this would include Microtel).

Well, REI isn't a bad place to shop for camping stuff, and you get 10% back on stuff you buy not-on-sale. Additionally, if you join (or were already a member ) you can get a 20% off any one item coupon. Tents start around $100, and there's no need for sleeping bags this time of year, I expect. Mary and I have a quarter dome or a half dome , I think.

There are showers and bathrooms and food and stuff just inside, so aside from a place to sleep, you need not provide a lot of stuff.
