I'm not sure how you guys are able to make posts, because all I can do are comments. Someone will have to tell me how that's done.I just found out that I get an outstanding discount on rentals from Hertz. I get about 40% off the rental itself, and since we're renting multiple vehicles, the additional drivers will only cost $12 per vehicle - UNLESS they have a AAA membership, then the additional driver fee is waived. (I know at least myself and Scott Sr. have memberships) So Terri, I'm not sure what you had in mind, but if you'd like to look at the Hertz website and pick out what you want, then I can make the reservations using the discount. Also, I assume that we will be picking up these rentals outside of the airport after everyone has congregated, which is actually better because then we can avoid airport fees. So you can use the website to find the Hertz Local office closest to your house, and we'll rent from there.

How to Post
I cannot believe that I am teaching someone how to do something on the computer. lol If you want to post you must first click on "sign in" at the top right corner (in blue) with your email and password. Then your posts are published on the main page of the reunion blog and you then have access to other blogs from the family also.
Scotty and Lindsay, that is great about the discounts on rentals. Let get a final head count on who is coming and then we will figure out what we need for transportaion. Its basically the Hollister side that we will need vehicles for. So far....Andrea/Bill/Noah and Scotty/Lindsay/Trey and Ryan/Samantha/Madelyn and Scott/Tami/Olivia are confirmed coming so thats 12 people. Still need to hear from Amanda and Katie. I am thinking a large van and one smaller car so people could do day trips if they want.

Scott and Lindsay,
The car seat doesn't even count as one of you official "carry on" items which is cool. Just bring it to the gate and then decide if you want to put in on the plane to strap him in it or you can store it under the plane (handing it to them just before you board). Just wanted to make sure you knew that since we didn't the first time we really traveled with our little guy.

More Details
Tickets to the White House sounds fun, you just need to remember that from the lake to DC is 3 hrs away so we wont be able to just be going back and forth. You guys are coming earlier so maybe you could request the tickets for before we leave for the lake.

s far as helping with the reunion, I am going to ask that all the families with little kids organize one activity (craft, game, storytime, etc) for all the kids to do together. If each family takes a day, the little ones will have something fun each day just for them. Anyway, you can be thinking of what you want to do for that. I think we will have everyone take care of their own family for breakfast and lunch (or join forces with another family if you want) because there are grocery stores at the lake, and then we can all eat dinner together. As the time gets closer we will combine a couple families to be in charge of making dinner one night. You can be thinking of what you want to make when its your turn :)

I hadn't thought about bringing the car seat as a carry on for him to sit in. That's a good idea, we might do that. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help prepare for the reunion. I submitted a request to our congressman for 35 tickets to a White House/Library of Congress tour. I'm not sure if it will go through or not, but I thought it was worth a try. Also, I'm looking into some car rental discounts. I should be able to get some as a AAA employee. I'll let you know.
