Who would be interested in a west coast get together...

I know everyone is busy with Christmas right now but I was just wondering how many of us would be interested in getting together over here in the west? We are in AZ. I was thinking a meeting somewhere in CO or CA would be central for everyone. I would actually prefer somewhere in CO as I have never been there and it looks beautiful.
Just wanted an idea of how many people would be interested, I was thinking sometime in the end of June so that older kids would be out of school? Let me know what you think.

Count us in!

Hi there,

I would love to join a West Coast get together! I live in Colorado so that would be easy for me. Of course, California is beautiful so that sounds great too.

There are Latin American Heritage camps in the Colorado mountains the last week or so of June. It might be nice to coordinate with that schedule so families who wanted to attend that could do so. I haven't gone to one yet but have friends who go every year and LOVE it.

Let's do it!

We would love to get together. It would all depend on were and cost. DH just got laid off. But it's far enough in advance that we could prepare. Please keep me updated.

northern cali is better for us, but if there were a direct flight to somewhere in co we'd very likely come too.

Jill,

Here's the link to the site for Latin American Heritage Camp. I thought I would post here in case others are interested too:

Latin American Heritage Camp

By the way, I noticed that the registration deadline for the 2009 camp is April 26th.

We live in So Cal. We would like to come. I guess it depends on where and when. I am currently going through a little health crisis so it might depend on that too. I have my fingers crossed I will be well for it. Please keep us informed!
