We still want to do an East Coast Animoot! Let me get the timing figured out about the remodeling. we're gonna be going gangbusters on it when the boys get home in late May. Maybe early July we could take a break on it. Paul may be in Paris for July, so we'd have some extra room in the house If Rosie, her sibs and Jen don't mind bunking in the basement, we could prolly wrangle it.
As soon as the snow melts, we can get the surveyor out here and get the ball rolling. It will take a few weeks to get the schedule set up, I think, but I'll try to find out something solid by the end of April. That should give Jen plenty of time to get a flight to Providence, Boston or Manchester, whichever is the cheapest. They are all equidistant from me, so I can pick her up wherever.
Let me know about the dates that work for you - just as a consideration, what about the weekend of the 4th? I could probably get a little extra time off then, easy. Though I don't know what travel costs would be like.
