So, just in case anyone ventures by here ... a couple of thoughts about the 50th reunion ...
Several years ago the class organizers (and thank you guys for doing all that you do), put out a request for ideas for the big five-O get together … I haven’t seen much discussion about this and it’s getting closer and closer … we’re talkin’ like just over a year … so, what else do I have to do but make sure that my Social Security check got e-deposited? Hang on to your shorts, here we go …
-
Seven day Alaskan cruise … Inside passage, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchican, Sitka … oh, my. Sometime in July 2013. There would be drinkin’, eatin’ gamblin’ and just an all around fun time. Leave from Vancouver … come back to Vancouver … Oh, the price … well, that may be a problem … cheapest thing would be like $1200 per person and for the big spenders $3-4K for better rooms … and you’d have to get to Vancouver, BC and back. It would be fun though!
-
So, second choice, still a cruise but from Seattle to Victoria … as an aside, the Fern Hill fifth graders did this … what a hoot! … the fifth grade class didn’t stay overnight but I’d say that we should do that … like at the Empress Hotel (I think they have a new name?) … Okay, price again … the boat ride is like $120-150 and the hotel about $180 for two … so $250+ per person.
-
A Ferry ride from Point Defiance to Vashon Island and dinner at some place there … probably $100-150.
-
Okay, movin’ on down the price scale … do a local excursion … think these would be under $100 per person, Northwest Trek, Paradise Lodge at Mount Rainer, Blake Island, some other place, etc.
-
Another thought … a catered dinner at the new Mount Tahoma High School Cafeteria … I’d like to see the new place.
-
A picnic at Lake Wapato, chips and dip … BYOB …
Okay, jump in here … yell at me, I’m used to it! Heck, I’m not even sure we can come to this thing!
