Welcome Family!!

Come all Shapiros, Koenigs, Eschlers, Nenows, Weinsofts, Whitneys, Cechs, Church's, Johnsons, Voronkov's, Smith's and anyone else I forgot!

I created this Blog as an addition to the Facebook Group site in hopes of getting things settled and planned for the family reunion. I have added 2 polls, one for the location and the other for the dates. Please provide your opinion, this is everyone's reunion and everyone should have a say. The polls will go until the end of the month, please vote as soon as possible.

You will notice that I have added links and random information about some of the suggested locations. Please let me know if there are additional sites you would like added.

Colter Bay

Okay here is the website for Colter Bay Village in the Grand Teton National Park. I worked there when I was a young pup... :) 18-19 yrs old. It's a really fun place...cute cabins or tent cabins.

Prices range from one room cabins for $55/night to two room cabins for $199/night. (Tent cabins are $48/night.)

Tons to do...hiking, boating, horseback riding, sitting around doing nothing...that one is for Jeff :) shopping in Jackson, wildlife watching, take a drive through the park and into Yellowstone. Thoughts anyone?

Glenwood Springs, CO

Glenwood Resort seems to be very accommodating. Obviously people can come earlier, but formal family stuff will be Friday night get together, Saturday dinner Sunday brunch? Please let me know if that works.

Prices are tentative as follows: a regular Camper Cabin is one step above a tent. It is basic with a full bathroom etc next to the site. that is about 80.00 a night. Sleeps 6

The resort cabins are all the luxuries of home. they go for about 269.00 a night. they also sleep 6the guy suggested we reserve a site near the lake to have a fire pit with marshmallows etc...

Homestead Resort, Midway UT

No one had mentioned this but I thought about it today. This could be a great place to have the reunion. The location is convenient for all of the in-towners and it is only about an hour away from the airport. It is less than an hour away from Park City, which of course has golfing, shopping, the alpine slide, great dining, etc. There are camping accommodations close by too and fishing opportunities as well.

At the resort there is golfing, horseback riding, swimming in the pool and the crater. They have a couple of different restaurants. It is the perfect place to sit around and do nothing too.

Also, with it being local it will be easier to set up catering, etc. or depending upon the accommodations we might be able to transport some of the food??
