Wenatchee Stuff!

Hi girls!
I'm not going to be there this week b/c I'm taking a course but wanted to mention a couple of things...

Race:
I've added a link to the race website on the right sidebar.

Wenatchee Accomodation:
Just letting you know I'm inquiring about a couple of vacation rentals for Wenatchee... it's a nice alternative to a hotel for our group and not more expensive.

It looks like our best bet is a big house that sleeps 11 in beds, plus has a blow up queen. After that it's couches & floors. It's $347/night, so if there are at least 10 of us, it's only $35/night... which I think we will have... I'm more concerned about having too many more girls than that and not having beds. I can't put a hold on this property and they don't have a cancellation policy, so I'd like to book it asap if we want it.

One thing that would really help in planning this option is to get a better read on WHO is registered or seriously thinking about it. Please comment where you stand so we can start getting a head count. thanks!

Shopping and the Weekend:
So, from talking to a few people and a hearing from a few more Sole Sisters about what kind of a weekend everyone is looking for, I'm wondering if the shopping side-trip to Seattle/Bellingham is necessary. Apparently there is a fair bit of shopping to be had in Wenatchee, for those who are interested (Ross, Target, Walmart, Buckle and more) and I wonder if we wouldn't enjoy a second night at the house. Those who want to shop can do a bit of that and those who want to recoup and relax and just enjoy a weekend away can do that too? No extra driving, no splitting up (unless some can only get away for the one night)... it just might be a more relaxing approach ot the weekend and unless anyone is really looking for a hard-core shopping experience it might suit us better. PLEEEEAAASE WEIGH IN ON THIS!! How would two nights in Wenatchee sound to you if we had a house to hang out in? Who can only get away for one night?

Looking foward to our little road trip!! If you have any ideas or questions or thoughts... please share!

I like the house idea, I like the 2 nights stay. I'm not a shopping girl but I'd walk and watch people who enjoy shopping. :)

Dawn & everyone - Yvonne and I can only stay one night so we'll likely drive from Vancouver together on Friday, stay the night, then drive home together later on Saturday. Is it OK for us to share the accommodation but only for one night, or will that throw off the balance?
