1st DC Trip Oct 2008 - Let's get to know each other before the trip!

[Christine]

:wave:Hello all!

I am Christine, from Chicago, IL. My two oldest kids and myself are going to DC (the first group)! John (age 11 1/2) and Clare (age 9 1/2) are hoping to correspond/email with other kids going on the trip before we go. They'd like to get to know you here in the forums and hope to hang with you once we arrive. Let me know if there are other kids in my kids' age range going that would like to correspond!:biggrin2:

Take care and C U soon!

Christine

Christine, you may want to let your children register for their own accounts and post in the children's area. They'll make new friends there, as well as be ready for my Washington DC classes next month.

Warmly,
Dianna

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! :smile2: The children will probably get know each other better in the courses area, but we can talk right here. What are you most looking forward to on the trip?

Hi all,

I'm finally getting around to writing back! Tami - We live in Elmwood Park. We are taking Amtrak to get to DC. How about you? My kids are John (11), Clare (9), and Teresa (18 months). We will be travelling with my mom.

Dianna - thanks for all you do! She's amazing, isn't she, group?:smile2:

Do we have detail yet on the trip. Where we are going and what day?

[Dianna]

Hi everyone,

I just sent out the itinerary for the first group today. Will send out the itinerary for the second group as soon as the White House tour is confirmed (or not).

Warmly,
Dianna
