Ohhhhhhh quit your whining Quinner.... The girls first day is August 1 and they both have band camp the week before so our summer is over the 3rd week in July. The first FB game is the 29th of August and one is leading the band while the other is marching in it.

I talked to Reid this weekend so tentative plans is I'll be doing the same thing as last year and riding up with the Pinkham family or catching a flt to Boston. To soon to tell as of yet but pencil me IN!

If we can, we would like to car camp at the waterfront?
And we also have a 2 yr old choc lab female(fixed)...... Would Tique like to meet a new playmate? We would love to bring her if that's ok?
Thanks John.

I dont have a specific recommendation, unfortunately... never had to stay somewhere local (besides at home!). I know there are a few small motel/hotels in Torrington, which is only 15-20 min away. There may be other small B&B type places in the towns surrounding Goshen as well. Let me know what you find out!

Well sometimes the plans need to be changed and thats a regroup situation. My instigator son who got me into all this business has the whole week off so both weekends work. Lucky me as my life has become a bit less complicated. Just getting the Skier back from Seattle and takin her down ot Fl for the winter to work on the deck has been my charge. Not too shabby. Heading back to New England before the 20th of May and will be attending this event. Just might be the highlight of an otherwise short season back home. Thanks Tim

I'm so bummed out! I took off the 16th and planed to start our family vacation at the mini, and plans were made for the following weekend.... Everything fell into place perfectly, I should have known . Guess I will winterized the mustang and wait for next year!

Allen, we host this event primarily at my family's house, so there are facilities- we just try to take it somewhat easy on our septic system! I can sleep people at my cottage(s) as well.

Tim, I actually might be able to make this! Its one of my weekends off. It would give my wife a chance to hang out with her best friend in Hartford she is an assistant coach at UCONN. What are the usual arrangements, not sure the wife (but maybe my 5yr old) would want to camp unless there were some type of facilities!! Thanks Allen

Goshen is great.

Cool - that is a little more do-able.....! Look forward to more Benjamin Fam (well maybe Benjamin Boats, too!)

But it's so much fun!

Hey TIM! What is the address? I just mey run the "Smithfamily" up to see you all!? Have to do calculations, girls are into it, White Lake has schedule conflicts, and Green Lake is FAR!!

Jerry.

Well, as long as the kid's schedules stay clear, it looks like we can make it down. Not sure if the kids/wife will do camping... but they want to do another reunion, so we'll work something out.
