DCMM - Who's going to MOTD '08?

I did a quick run through of the sign up for the farewell dinner and a couple other threads and came up with the following list. So, did I miss anyone? Anybody else coming? Also, are there any plans for a casual get together, sitting around the campfire and telling lies? (Cabin #538, Fri Night after dinner. See post #50) There are so many activities that it might be difficult to pull off.

Let me know if you are not on the list and I'll keep it updated so everyone knows who to watch out for when we get there. Here is what I have so far:

T&CMCSA +1
MINInurse
kgdblu
Krut
ccc777 +1
CR&PW&JB +1
Edge
Mr EZ +1
minirab
MMatarella
Ambrosia
minimobile
CarlB
timsabin
RHinaHBMCSC + Husband of RHina
Hammerette
Pazuzu
cousins'mini
whovous
Greatbear

You guys enjoy yourselves out there!

I wish I could go. Will have to wait until both of my kids are in high school.

Oh well, see you at MOTD 2017.

Yeah, my going was entirely dependent on finding a reasonable place to stay. Found a cabin 30 mins from everything and although it ain't fancy (no hot tub, pool table, whirlpool or king size beds) it is large, secluded and semi-cheap.

I'd love to get together with other DCMMers if at all possible but it might definitely be hard with everything else going on. With all the driving, I'm technically getting only 2 days there and as a compromise to my bf, I promised we would also do some relaxing and nature stuff. Who wants to arrange a nature hike or something...lol?!

Regardless, it should be a fun time and I'm looking forward to seeing as many people there as possible!

No worries about missing my other half. She's a lot better looking than me but she's also a lot more subdued.

yer funny ...

Go out for breakfast? Um..no. The lodge charges a fortune for a mediocre breakfast, so I bring my own.
It's not like you can just totter down the road for meals...it's a 30 - 40 min. drive on kinda dangerous roads if you're not totally alert.

at least 3 hours of sleep? you dam betcha ..more like at least 7.
