Blathering My Way Through Life
We will be having our ceremony performed at The Homestead resort in Hot Springs, Virginia on Saturday, May 9th at 5pm. Stephanie has picked out a wonderful spot with a lake as you can see below. We will be sending out invitations for our upcoming party/reception shortly through email.
Don't know if I had posted pictures of our trip this summer to San Francisco so I'm going to go ahead and do that now. We went on a trip with the Texas Rangers baseball team as part of Stephanie's work with them doing ticket sales.
I'm already looking forward to the flight itself as I've decided to not even attempt to shop for a bargain flight. Virgin Atlantic will have their service from Dulles (DCA) to Vegas up and running by then. I've already gotten a price quote and it's actually not bad anyway, especially considering the expected comfort and level of service. As far as accomodations, I'm expecting to stay at one of three locations: Mirage, Treasure Island, or the IP. The prices for Mirage and TI are both much cheaper than other of the bigger strip casinos for that time period and not bad at all. It just depends on how much I'm planning to gamble instead of just drinking with the group.
If you are also going stag and want to share a room at either the Mirage or TI, let me know.
Speaking of which, I plan on doing a lot more just hanging out with everybody. I didn't take complete advantage this summer and plan to make up for that. So yes, I'll donk with everybody else at the cash games, pai gow, and anything else that comes up. Bayne, we need to roll the dice again!
It's always a blast when you see men running around in skirts on your way to breakfast early in the morning. This is what was waiting for me Saturday morning in the lobby of the Hershey Lodge: a groom and his best man in kilts! I took a quick picture and went on my way so that I could fuel up before heading to the driving range.
Speaking of the driving range, if you have the opportunity to stay at either the Hershey Lodge or the Hotel Hershey, make sure to bring a club or two along with you even if you don't think you'll have enough time to fit an entire round of golf in. You get access to the Hershey Country Club as well. For the bargain price of $10, you get full-day access to the driving range, chipping green, and putting green. This includes unlimited balls.
