La Quinta Inn & Suites Wichita

Today was the real beginning of our journey planned for this summer--our get together at Lunar Golf in Town West. We had about 20 students and several parents come out on a cold, dreary day. But it wasn't cold nor dreary inside golfing! We are looking forward to our first orientation meeting January 10 at the Ice Center. Can't wait to have everyone together--in the light-- so we will recognized each other!!

... day. Walmart, Target, West Mall, and the Army base were our stops. I didn't buy anything but Renee was looking for a Cricut and found one tucked away at the second Walmart we went to. Daniel drove us around but I am sure he won't be coming next time.

At the end of our trip we went to see Hanna, Albert and Nicole. The last day was spent with Trang, Hung and sons Vu and Hieu.

I drove us up into Kansas where we planned to stop/stay in Wichita for the night. The sun finally decided to make a decent appearance for our roadtrip, although it was only in time for it to set.

It has been cold and rainy today, pretty much has not stopped. I type this as we drive to Wichita, KS and the rain is still coming down. We are nearing the exit for Ponca City, OK, brings back some memories of the trip down here to see Erik 9 years ago.

Stayed in the world's smallest motel room! Had dinner at Old Chicago which was great. Chicago style pizza and I attempted to work my way through their cocktail menu :)

Had breakfast the next morning at the world's worst Denny's (I'm sure). The waiter was nice ...

Hi Delegates & families,

We are looking forward to seeing all of you (or as many of you as possible---I know it is the last week-end before most of our schools begin and you may already have plans.) BUT...if you can be there, we all will be so glad to see you!

Here are the particulars:

Wear your swim suit
Bring ...

... wardrobe.

From there we went back to Westminister and began the long walk to our restaurant, Tiger Tiger. A third of the way there, though, it began to rain buckets! By the time we got to our destination most of us resembled drowned cats and had temperments similar to that as well. We had a lovely, warm dinner though.

We were given a little free time in the theatre district so that soothed our tempers a bit. Many of us stayed ...

... food. ( Everything I ate was delicious! ) Also another huge THANK YOU to Stephanie and her mom for providing us with our luggage tags. ld I will email this today as a "test run" to see if any addresses bounce back.
