Luckymama Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I am :D I'll be staying in the dorm w/ the meal plan. I'll be bringing a pile of books and curricula for show-and-tell. I've also got some items to sell that I will post to the social group tonight. (If I don't get buyers from the social group, I'll be posting those to the for sale board.)

I can bring our curriculum, but, I don't really have anything that is particularly rare. Very interested in looking at what everyone else has though! :D (FTR: the stuff I have is- Elemental Science Intro to Science, Galloping the Globe, Miquon Orange and Red plus all the teacher's books, Singapore 1A textbook workbook and extra practice, L'art de Dire, All About Spelling level 1, Lollipop Logic.... I think that's all! :tongue_smilie:If you're interested in seeing anything LMK and I'll be sure to bring it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Kymmie, did you join the social group? Are you up for a Thursday night dinner? Details are in a thread in the social group. I'm making the reservation next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making the reservation next week. No I didn't. Going to look for it now. ETA: Forgot to say, I'm definitely up for dinner Thursday night! I'm going to try and get in to Philly early that morning, there's some sights I'd like to see! But I'm sure I'll be plenty hungry by dinner time. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'm going too! And it seems my son may possibly come. Would a 13yo be allowed at the pub we're going to on Thursday evening? As long as he's fed and has a new book to read, he'll be happy and quiet in his little corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Did anyone get a refund of the shipping we were charged at the beginning? (those who did an early registration were charged shipping on the hotel room) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Me!!! And I'm bringing three friends with me, one of whom posts on this board, but I think she's been on break for quite a while (way more self-control than I have:tongue_smilie:). Looking so forward to this! It'll be so much fun meeting everyone! I'm not sure what to do about dinner Thurs. night, as I've got those three other people with me, two of whom I don't think have ever posted here so don't "know" anyone (though they do use lots of MCT and SWB stuff, so they'll fit right in :)).

AvasMom Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I think we all need to swap notes on the talks we go to! Maybe that's what homeschool moms do until the wee hours of the night on sleepovers? lol! My kids are nature-deprived because I'm not outdoorsy. However, I have an 8th grader and thus I reeeeally need to go to the high school talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still haven't made reservations somewhere for Sat. night (since I don't want to drive back to MA Sat. evening) - anyone know of a good hotel nearby, not too pricey, preferably one with a pool and hot tub?

tenoraddict Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If RFP doesn't do a nametag with username thing (which really wouldn't help me because I have very few usernames memorized), let's write our name and the state we live in on the name tags we'll probably get at registration. That would make it easy to link up with each other. Also, could someone please tell me how to find the social group? I think I remember joining awhile ago, but can't remember... Thanks.
