Sapphire Reunion Update

Hi Ladies! Just wanted to send out a quick update about the reunion in a couple weeks so everyone kind of knows what is going on. At this point, it looks like those attending will be me, Liz, Angie, and Kim. I will have Detroit themed gifts bags for each of you and will ship to the girls who don't make it this year. (Although I do it with attitude because I really wish you were all here!) =p If any of you have a last minute change of heart, your babies beg you to bring them to Detroit so they can be cuddled by their auntie Sapphires, or you find a wad of cash hidden in your underwear drawer that can fund your trip... please don't hesitate to show up at the last minute! The weekend will really be generally inexpensive. Housing will be provided and the activities will be fairly inexpensive. The primary expense would be travel to get here and then some eating out money. The schedule is a little up in the air now with Liz's health situation. I'm thinking we might have to play it a little bit by ear based on where she's at with everything physically at that point. The activities on the docket are pedicures (about $40), hitting the outlet mall, movie ($10), the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village ($32 for joint ticket), maybe a Tigers baseball game if people want (price varies based on seats), lounging by the pool at Liz's parents' house, The Ford Drive-IN Theater if interested ($8.50), and some dinners out. We can pick and choose as we get closer. If you are coming, you might plan for some spending money at the outlet mall, especially if you are interested in purchasing clothes for kids. Great Lakes Crossing has Carters, Osh Kosh, Children's Place, and Stride Rite. I receive their coupons as well and between the sales, clearance, and coupons, you can seriously outfit 3 children for the following season for $100. (I once got 3 pairs of Stride Rite sneakers for $50!) So heads up about that if you think you might want to do some real shopping. The Mall also has great adult stores, of course, that we will all enjoy as well (Victoria Secret outlet, Guess, Off Saks, Nordstrom outlet, etc.) So that is the general run down of things. If anybody has any questions, just holla! Love you girls!
