Travel Information

Before we give the hotel info, we wanted everyone to know that if you've been receiving emails from us to check the blog, then you will definitely be receiving an official invitation in the mail. We will be sending out formal invitations (as opposed to the ever more popular email invitations). However, we know that airfare gets more and more expensive the closer it gets to a holiday so we don't want people to have to wait until they receive an invitation to make travel arrangements. Now that that awkward piece of info is out there, we'll move on to the hotel options.
__________________________________________________________________

We like to give choices, so we've found 2 hotel options for everyone. Each has its pluses and minuses...we'll leave the decision up to you. There are also other hotel options in the Harrisburg area if neither of these suit your fancy.

We wanted to give a shout-out to Paul for getting the incredibly challenging riddle correct. Yup, the answer was a coat of paint. Paul was one of Devin's roommates when he first moved to San Francisco. Thankfully Devin made it through the grueling interview process to be a roommate because otherwise we wouldn't have Paul as one of our best friends. A little about Paul...he loves to read, he loves to go to R Bar, he loves to pretend to be a dj (btw, Paul, we're looking for selections for our reception playlist), he loves baseball, and most of all he loves his friends dearly. We need to hang out soon, Paul.

We also wanted to thank Lindsay and Chris for being so gracious to let us stay at their house while we were frantically searching for a place to live. We enjoyed some good grilling while we were there and their house has a welcoming and calm vibe that was much needed after 12 days of driving and camping.

We're finishing some details for the Friday night dinner as well as times of events. We'll be in touch soon to say hi and to keep you updated and hopefully post some pictures from the cross-country trip. Cheers!

Turkey day festivities will commence at my parents' house. There will be folks coming in from the west coast for sure. So far, I think jac and paul are definitely in for T-day. All are welcome. Everyone can stay at my folks' house that night. I'll tell them to warn the neighbors.
