If so, please post a little note here.
This is all still in the design and planning stage, so many details are up in the air. I don't know a time frame, and I don't know how much hotels are, or anything about car rentals- YET. I imagine it would be similar to Branson, a long weekend kind of thing, with some folks staying longer. In Branson, We all went for breakfast buffet one morning, and we ate dinner out at a nice restaurant one night, and we spent one afternoon at a winery and shopping. And we had a very impromptu surprise birthday party that was awesome fun.
Pat has graciously offered to open her home to a few folks, so obviously it owuld have to work around her schedule. She even suggested going to a RODEO- Yee Haw!
McKinney has a lot of hotels, restaurants and attractions. It's approx. 30 miles from Dallas so air travel shouldn't be much of an issue. There are several golf course, from what I found online and even a little community type theatre.
Also not -so-very-far away is Austin, which has The River Walk and Dallas/Ft. Worth.
ALL of the roses are welcome to attend, bring your hubs or leave him home to bach it. It is not the intent to leave anyone out of the loop or to make it more conveninet for others. Branson was picked last time bacase its darn near smack in the middle of the country, and Laura had a vacation condo located there. I suggested TX a while ago because Pat and Diana live there and it's got good airport access, and other than being way south, it's also nearly the midpoint of the US (almost)
I won't post details in a public forum, other than dates. It would all either be sent by private e mail or through snail mail.
