Can you all let me know how many people from your families to include? Also need to know if you all want to meet to eat (downtown probably 2-4 pm would be the best time for easier reservations). If you all want to meet to eat, do you all want a sit down meal or perhaps a place like Fudruckers? Riverwalk restaurants are a little pricey but they offer all kinds of food, places, even barges you can dine on. There are also many bars, and even hotel bars that might be an easy place to meet and mingle - the Hilton downtown has one that is real open like a large balcony that over looks the bottom floor. Breakfast might be easy to meet for as well. Just let me know what you are all thinking.

sagina--I will be by myself, not really since jo is coming with me but DH would rather not hang out with the girls. Someplace where we can actually visit I think would be great. Breakfast would be OK as long as it was not early. Driving and parking I will need to allow 1 1/2 hours for us to get there. Thanks so much for working all this out for us.
Went to the movies tonight and could not believe how great it felt outside. It actually felt cool.

We were supposed to get up to 106 today....I can't believe we hit 110 the other day!
What kind of price range do you think we should try to stay within?

I am getting sooo excited. The end of the month will be here before you know it. Anyone that is planning on coming, would you please PM Sherry or myself by the 15th. Gina needs a count so she can get a place for us to meet.
It is supposed to be 102 here today - high 90 tomorrow.

Is anyone in Central Texas effected by all the wildfires? I just watched the news and it is scary. Bastrop county has 16000 acres under fire and it is moving our direction. Bastrop is 45 miles from us. The fire is 16 miles by 6 miles and it is zero contained. I live in an old house and my TV room has lots of loose windows and I can smell the fire when I walk in that room. This evening when we were outside there were ashes falling from the sky. There are fires spread from Hays county to Bastrop county. I also heard Canyon Lake had a nasty fire but they were able to put it out. There was a large brush fire in the northen part of our county and they had to evacuate people in that area but I understand they have been able to put it out.

Hope the fires stay away from you - they can be scary.

Hi Sherry, hope you are okay. I heard Hwy 71 at 21 was closed. We had a fire here in San Antonio too. One home damaged everyone else ok.
let me know when yall get a number of people....if you want an early lunch 11 ish or so we could do spaghetti warehouse....free parking, just on the tip of downtown, and lots of room, and not too expensive. Just an idea, let me know. I'll check and see whats going on that weekend downtown as well. UTSA has started a football team, they had over 50k show up for the first game, downtown in the alamodome.

Gina I heard about the fire in SA I have a friend who lives in that area and had to evacuate but was allowed back in after they put the fire out. I have never been to spagetti warehouse but have heard it is very good. I can't believe how many people showed at the first football game. That is great for UTSA.

Sherry - I have been to Spaghetti Warehouse in SA - if it is the one I think you are talking about. It is just outside downtown by the Alamo Dome. It has been a long time but the food was great. Besides, I love italian.

Ok, UTSA is away at Sam Houston that Saturday the the Alamodome is hosting the Home and Garden Show - which means parking is available for that event in the dome parking lot, so we should be fine at Spaghetti Warehouse - it's on Houston street - then if people want to walk the river or go to the mall they are real close. They could also catch a boat ride from River Center Mall as well.
the restaurant is huge and has private rooms available if we have a large enough group, either way there should be plenty of room to seat us. I could call ahead just the day before if we need to wait that long.
Yes, we had a fire in Stone Oak caused by a water utility truck, but now they are battling one at Camp Bullis leading into Fair Oaks Ranch. Still they don't compare to Bastrop.....that's unbelievable.....

I was asking if a group is going to be staying overnight. I live only 40 minutes from SA and plan to drive back and forth unless there is a group gathering....do not want to miss the party. So if a group is staying, please let me know where.

I am driving up on Friday afternoon and will be staying with SherryC. She has so graciously offered her guest room to me. Will be going home on Sunday. Really looking forward to it. Spaghetti Warehouse sounds wonderful - Italian is one of my favorites.
