Beestmonster clan are Chicago-bound
 

if anyone over that way fancies meeting up. 2-3 March, south lyon twp area but headed for Shedd too....

Any chance of lunch on the 2nd?

good luck and safe trip!

Probably only if it's a late one without the mermaid, Mr Z.... Our aim is to arrive at the pool around 1 that day (training starts at 2)

When is the mermaid done?

6pm on the 2nd.

plus changing time. don't know if there's a team dinner plan yet, but it won't last all night. we're in a courtyard marriot hotel thingumajig between sessions (training restarts 8am Sunday for snother 4 hours.....)

We had similar weekends when the Zings were in track/CC.

Let me check with Mrs. Z to see what her schedule looks like.

So what works for you guys? Assuming there's spectator seating we could visit a while during the mermaid's thing. We could maybe do dessert somewhere on Sat. night. Or maybe lunch on Sunday. We have chores to accomplish, but nothing scheduled except for Sunday after 3.

Ha! I get to post first! Finally met Mr and Mrs Z and both Zings tonight :) Thank you fo putting up with me at such short notice and letting me intrude on your family time! And feeding me -especiallt my diet coke habit ;) Can't believe how close you live to where Hebe was playing polo! Spitting distance!

Cool! Any pictures??

oh yes -on mrs Z's camera, tho.
