Welcome!

Welcome to the Gelder Family Reunion Blog! It was sort of unofficially decided that we would have the family reunion every three years....and guess what, next year is the year! Can you believe it?!! So I've already had a chat with Aunt Theresa and it is a go for her place in 2011.

I would like to hear people sound off their ideas as far as where to stay and what to do. Aunt Theresa suggested doing some things at the Redwoods, or we talked about Yosemite before.

We do have a little decision to make right off the bat. By default we will just plan on mostly free or inexpensive activities and let everyone make their own lodging arrangements. However, if everyone wanted we could look into renting some condos or a house or something. I bring this up because we would have to start making reservations soon for next year. Do we want to pool resources and get lodging together...or should we let everyone arrange their own accomadations?

Please comment and tell me how you envision our 2011 reunion. And keep your eye on this blog because we will be doing voting (see right side) and planning here. I can't wait!

Testing! Testing! I'm not sure why the comments weren't working before!

Staying together makes it so much more fun and it could be something other than a hotel. A friend of mine always rents a house for a week when they have family reunions in Phoenix. If we could find something like that, a group could stay at the Gales (according to Theresa's invitation) and another big group at a rented house/bed & breakfast/lodge. Sarah, do you want to see if there is even something like this available in that area? Thanks for keeping us on track with the reunion :)
