Not until summer~last week of June til 1st or 2nd of July Gibson family reunion in Tn. We may take a short trip to Tn in the spring?

Nana8 said...

We need to try and get together sometime for lunch like we did once before~what do ya think??? Maybe sometime in the spring we could all meet somewhere~but all of us must be able to come~last time Toni wasn't there!

Shannon said...

Can I come too?!!

Barb said...

YEAH,WE ARE GOING TO VEGAS!!!! IN OCT, YOUR GOING TOO SILLY. AND MAYBE WE'LL GO TO THE SMOKIES IN MAY, I DON'T KNOW YET. BUT I HAVE ABOUT 130 HRS. OF PTO TIME LEFT FROM LAST YEAR TO USE, ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Kelly said...

How about you give me some of your vacation time mom, or you can just come and visit us for awhile.

Patty said...

Wow I thought they wouldn't carry over that much? Yeah i think you should go to NEW YORK CITY! I think I only carried over about 40 hrs.

Patty said...

Yeah we should do a lunch sometime :)

Let's do lunch. Maybe Olive Garden or somewhere like that. In the spring maybe, when the weather gets better! Roscoe wants to go to New York! I don't know anything about that, has anyone ever been ? I would not even know how to go about it. I'm sure there would be alot to see, but I've heard it is very expensive to go there. And of course, our annual Vegas trip! I love going there.

Barb said...

ACTUALLY, I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO NEW YORK CITY, OR TO THE GRAND CANYON, THOSE ARE THE 2 PLACES I'D LIKE TO SEE. BETTER START SAVING MY PENNYS. KELLY, I'M SURE WE'LL BE DOWN THERE IN A COUPLE WEEKS FOR ANDY'S B-DAY, WELL DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER.I WON'T BE TAKING A REAL VACATION AT LEAST UNTIL NANCY GETS BACK TO WORK.. YES, WE SHOULD DO THE LUNCH THING!!

Barb said...

BUTCH'S BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW JUST WENT TO NEW YORK IN OCT, FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS, I'LL HAVE HIM FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT IT COST, THEY HAD SOME KIND OF PKG, HAD SOME TOUR THING SET UP,CENTRAL PARK, STATUE OF LIBERTY, THINGS LIKE THAT, DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE FUN?

Lisa said...

I'd like to go on a vacation! Too bad I just started a new job. No PTO time yet! Why don't you guys skip your Vegas trip and go to New York. You could get about one hotel room in N.Y. for the price of 3 in Vegas. Nothing wrong with six people to a room, you could sleep in shifts. The Statue of Liberty is neat. It's a far climb to the top though. I would like to go back there to see more stuff. Maybe in a few years!

Barb said...

OH, NO LISA, WE CAN'T SKIP THE VEGAS TRIP, ARE YOU CRAZY, THE NEW YORK TRIP WOULD HAVE TO BE INADDITION TOO!!!I HEAR YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM VACATION. AND HOW IS YOUR NEW JOB GOING? THAT ROOM IN N.Y WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE THEN, CAUSE OUR ROOMS IN VEGAS ARE FREE! WELL IF YOU'VE BEEN THERE TELL US ALL ABOUT IT.

Nana8 said...

Hey since so many of us want to take a trip to NY then lets all save our money and go together~we'll fly in ~ stay right down town~ get a tour pkg and have a ball~ so we have to start planning soon and saving our money~come on let's do it~we have to (I guess) let the husbands go~so that would be 12 of us all together~ just have to get Sue & Bob~ Peg and Eddie to go!!!!! Bob's sister went there last year and had a great time~I'll see what I can find out....we can talk to one of those travel people... AM I CRAZY OR WHAT ????????

Barb said...

I SAY, NO YOUR NOT CRAZY,I'M GAME. HEY WE ONLY LIVE ONCE, YES WE HAVE TO TAKE THE GUYS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM THOUGH, SUE WILL NOT FLY.AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I HEAR. I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT,EVEN IF ITS NOT A WEEK,JUST 3 OR 4 DAYS.ONCE IN A LIFE-TIME THING, AND WE SHOULD DO IT WHILE WE'RE ALL STILL ABLE TO GET AROUND!!SO WE COULD ENJOY IT.

Nana8 said...

Okay then all aboard~we'll take the train~I've always wanted to ride the rails~~~~let's start planning and getting everyone on board~~~~~how do you get free rooms in Vegas???????

Nana8 said...

We can take he train to Grand Central Station catch a cab to the Hotel and have a tour package set up for us to see all the sights~why not 5-6 days maybe a week~~~Okay we need some ideas and we need to find out who all is willing to go for it!!!!!!!!

Shannon said...

Well I'll go too! Jenny can handle the store and Keith can handle the kids!!!!!!!!LOL YEAH RIGHT! Fine you hootchie mommas go to NY and all of us younger generation will do something fun too! lol I know we will all go stay with Lisa and Bryan in Chicago!!!!!

Nana8 said...

Sorry Shan~~~~~but this trip is for the older generation only~~~~~but we will take donations~~~~~

Shannon said...

LOL DONATIONS?!? YOU WISH!!!!!

Kelly said...

how about donations for the younger generation, lol hehe

Shannon said...

Yeah Kelly that is a good idea!

Patty said...

Train to NYC is 20 hrs. Lisa I didn't know you were getting a new job- where are you working now? I thought you liked your job you had?

Patty said...

We get free rooms in Vegas because we all joined their players club and they want us to keep coming back and donating money so they give us free rooms!

Patty said...

Driving to NYC on the other hand is 12 1/2 hrs. Both long time

Shannon said...

Driving would be fun~ROAD TRIP!!!
you old folks wouldn't have kids screaming to go pee and asking the famous question~ARE WE THERE YET?!
you should all rent a big suburban or bus or something and take food and goodies and then take turns driving, sleeping and eating! What an experience that would be!!!!!

Barb said...

YAEH THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN, AND WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH DRIVERS, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE PIT STOPS THOUGH, BUTCH HAS TO STOP AT EVERY REST STOP WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD.I THINK FOR EXPENSE, WE'D BETTER THINK SPRING OR FALL, CAUSE IF WE GO DURING PEAK TIMES, PRICES ARE ONLY MORE AS FAR AS ROOMS GO.

Barb said...

OKAY, I GUESS SINCE NO IN-PUT SINCE 1-12,THIS SUBJECT HAS LOST IT'S INTEREST!!!!

Nana8 said...

I haven't lost interest in this~ It would be neat to plan a vacation together~if not NYC then maybe somewhere else~we just need to come up with a plan or something for maybe next year or 2010!!!!!! But we have to get everyone in on it!!!!!

Barb said...

WELL I'M STILL GAME, I THINK IT WOULD BE FUN FOR ALL OF US TO GET AWAY TOGETHER, YEAH IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE N.Y., MAYBE THATS TOO EXPENSIVE,HECK IT COULD BE A CABIN BY THE SMOKIES, OR WIS.,I THINK THAT WOULD BE FUN TOO.IF WE ALL GET TOGETHER ON AN IDEA, THEN WE COULD SET A YEAR,A MONTH, HAVE TIME TO SAVE MONEY.

Nana8 said...

The Smokies would be great~still takes a good days drive~but they have nice cabins down there and I hear they have large cabins to rent with plenty of sleeping space and small kitchens~we wouldn't have to eat out all the time~at least not breakfast!!!!! Peg & Ed and Sue & Bob would probably like the smokies too! What do y'all think??? It is a neat place and plenty to do~~~

Barb said...

WELL, I'M ALWAYS READY TO GO TO THE SMOKIES, IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES, BUTCH AND I GO ALMOST EVERY YEAR., WE'VE NEVER RENTED A CABIN, BUT THEY;RE ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND THERE IS A LOT TO DO,GATLINBURG, PIGEON FORGE, LOTS OF SHOPS,SITES TO SEE, AND OF COURSE THE MOUNTAINS.WE'LL SEE WHAT EVERYONE HAS TO SAY.

Nana8 said...

I still think it would be great to take a trip to NYC~with everyone! Since I've never been there I'd feel more comfortable going with a group and it would be so much fun~we should all be able to save enough money to go if we plan it a year or so in advance~don't ya think~if everyone isn't up for it maybe those of us that want to go should plan it any way!!!!!! Let's see what we can get going~and start doing some planning!!!!What do ya say to that???

Barb said...

WELL, IF WE'RE TALKING NEXT YEAR,OR 2010, THEN YEAH, I'M IN, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO THERE. IF WE'VE GOT THAT MUCH TIME TO SAVE AND PLAN IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO REALLY WANTS TO GO.
