Just out of curiosity, would anyone ever consider a major moot date during May - September? I'd love to bring everyone to Bayfield, WI, but March and April are not options in that climate. Thanks!

Frink: I've always wanted to see that area of the country. Could we bring family? Great idea, Bec!

Me: Whoops! Didn't even realize there was a place for comments until I saw Rayna's blog. Sorry for the tardy response.

Yep, families would definitely be possible if you want. The place I would like us to stay is an old-style motel (It's a VERY small town!), and only allows groups to reserve 10 rooms (4 of which are practically small houses). So if you want to bring family, you will probably have to reserve your own room, in addition to the group's rooms. And this place books up fast, often a year in advance. And they require a deposit. But if you can work with those circumstances, there's another 20 rooms or so that should be available. Yep, the 30-room motel is the biggest in town. :-)

Me: Oops. They have 32 rooms. ;-)

Bayfield is the home of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (run by the National Park Service). I'd love for us to take a cruise around the islands on Saturday, as our group activity. If everyone is okay with boats.

No, I haven't put any thought into this. Why do you ask? ;-)

AmyGaladriel: This is sad. I live in Wisconsin and I have never been up that far! I even used to live in Upper Michigan for a couple of years. My mom and dad vacationed way up there. There is a beautiful bed and breakfast there that I'd like to go to with Bob sometime.

Me: Well next time I'm going, I'll just have to stop in Fond du Lac and kidnap you. ;-)
