Ok so maybe I am overwhelming you guys with options :) Tell me what you like about the different properties. Their location, features, etc that you think are important and I will try to contact 3 or 4 and find out details. Then post a vote? Does that sound good?

More Options

What about either of these?




They are both just south of sugarhouse area. One only lists a weekly rate so I will have to look into that one.

Input please

Hey Ladies :)

Sorry I have been missing! So bummer we can't use Jenny's dad, but the Girl's weekend must go on :) Since we are so spoiled now and it was so great to have a house all to ourselves. What do you think about a vacation rental in SLC?

Would something along this lines be ok?

I am not sure on it's exact location, but I could call the company and get more info. find a property close to all the things we want to do.

Here is another in the sugar house area....http://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/53075.html

If you want to search the websites for more options let me know what you find. I would love some help and input. I want to find a place that will fit our needs and be affordable. With 5 of us going the first property would be around $100 per person if we book it for 3 nights.

What is a good price range for lodging?

What about the spa stuff? Same place or look for a new place?

What about the symphony with Idina Menzel? the seats are $80 per person (the cheap seats are sold out) and if I am going to purchase those I need to know who is coming and if this is something everyone wants to do and to go ahead and purchase them.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! Especially about the lodging, we at least need somewhere to stay :)

Can't wait to hear from all of you! :)

Hey Ladies :)

I hope everyone has had a chance to check the dates and put in their ideas. I will list what has been decided so far, at least what I can tell from reading comments :) Please correct me if I'm wrong on something!

Head count
Katie-yes
Jill-yes
Amy-yes
Jenny M.-yes
Rachel-yes

and some Maybes from what I can tell....
Karie
Kami
Jenny Coates

Is there anyone I missed? Or that hasn't had a chance to respond and let us know they are planning to come? So 5 for sure and 3 maybes.

As for what to do :) Its is true that no matter what we do it's always fun! So some ideas that were posted were...

Massage or pampering of the like (pedi/mani etc)
Temple session
movie
cultured event

I think all of those sound great!

A movie and temple session requires minimal planning, at least at this point. So I will ask about the pampering and culture :)

I did find a cultured event the Saturday we are together. I just cut and pasted the info.

Idina Menzel and the Utah Symphony

Presented by Deer Valley Music Festival at Deer Valley Outdoor Amphitheatre

Broadway powerhouse and "Glee!" favorite Idina Menzel, the Tony Award-winning "Elphaba" from international blockbuster Wicked, performs for one-night only with the Utah Symphony. With a diverse repertoire of classic pop, Broadway favorites, as well as songs from her album I Stand, India Menzel demonstrates why she is one of the great vocal performers of our time.

So let me know your vote on this event. I think it looks like fun, I am open to new things! I have never been to a symphony so I am in if it's what everyone wants to do. Looks like she was in Wicked and I know that's a fav :) Also relatively inexpensive too!

As far as the pampering....Would you like to go back to the same location? They did offer a wide variety of services and reasonable prices. If you guys want to try somewhere new, let me know and I can do some research.

Finally, Jenny do you think we can plan on staying at your Dad's again? I think everyone mentioned that they would love to stay there again if possible. I just want to make sure it's a 100% thing. Either way let me know, and I can look in to alternatives.

So excited! Please comment and let me know! Can't wait to hear from all of you!

Girls Weekend 2011!!!

Ok. Looks like Utah won by a landslide. Thanks to everyone who voted!

Since I live in Utah now, I told Jenny I would love to head up this weekend....
but I need lots of input from all of you!

After looking at what everyone commented and voted on for dates I think the last weekend in July looks like the best possibility. It was a tie between mid and late July. My sister will be in town the weekend of the 22nd, and I didn't vote before the poll closed.

So lets say, July 29th as the weekend to go with?

As usual let's plan to arrive late Thursday or early Friday, leaving Monday morning or Sunday night?
Maybe by moving forward with July the 29th as the date as many people as possible can make it happen.
I would love to have everyone there!! :)

Jenny offered her dad's home as a possibility again. What do you all think about where we should stay?
Also what activities do you want to plan for?
Shopping? Spa? Movies? Plays? etc. etc.

Any and all ideas are welcome!
It's our weekend to do whatever we please :)

I hope this date works and we can move forward to plan a great weekend.
I can't wait to hear from all of you!

We just signed our lives away.

So, this is going to sound crazy to everyone, but we just signed a contract and are moving this summer to Kingman, AZ! Steve's twin sister lives there where her husband is doing radiology, and the hospital gave us an offer we couldn't refuse. We went out this week and signed with the hospital, looked for houses and ended up signing with a contractor to build a house that will be done by the time we move down. We are so excited, and was surprised by how much we liked it there. It's pretty small, and doesn't have a ton of shopping, but makes up for it in charm and amazing outdoor activities. Rachel J just told me that's where she's from. What a small world! We're really excited and can't wait to start this new phase of life!

PS I'm planning on coming to Girl's Weekend this year, but need to figure out all the logistics before I can fully commit. We can do it in Kingman and then go to Vegas for a day trip and see Phantom. I even think Wicked is coming there in Aug (didn't you see that last year though?) Just letting you know we're willing. Utah would work best for us out of UT and ID.

I'm posting the comment thread so its easier for everyone to read :) Also, I spoke with Jenny Coates this week and she would love to come this year (and would have a little baby girl with her as well!) Does anyone know of anyone else who's thinking about coming? Kami- can you contact Megan and see if she's thinking about it? I don't have a # for her anymore.... Thanks!

I am hoping to make it. We will be heading that way during June. I was hoping to have it in Idaho since a lot of us might be there anyway...maybe Island Park or Pocotello. SLC would be doable too. I would have to vote for sometime in very early to mid-July because I don't think I can be out there in June and then turn around and come back in August!!! But, I will try to make it to anything. I will see what I can do to help with the planning this year. I don't live close, but I will try and figure something out. I have a friend who has a sister who owns a cabin on a lake in Island Park. Who knows if they would be willing to let us use it???

So any time is good for me. I know of someone who has a cabin in Island Park too that I am pretty sure we could use. I can take on any planning, NO Jenny I am not bringing Alexis. She will be at a non fun age at that time. She will be okay for a weekend without me. :)

Girls I'm so excited for girls weekend. Already my summer is shaping up to be the busiest its ever been.There are 3 dates that look doable for me. July 8-9, 22-23or 29-31. I hate that I am not so flexible not sure how my life got so busy. June, Jeremy will be on a 2 week rotation in Boise, I'm going to try and drive up with the kids for part of that.
I loved it in utah, but maybe that was because I started with such a great massage from "Lake Mead."

Rachel and Adam were just here in Az, it was so good to see you guys. Just makes me that much more excited for girls trip.

I am good for UT, and I would be good for ID. We do have a cabin in ID, but with Brett deploying in May, I don't and can't commit to any for sure dates and any planning.:-(
I am hoping to be up there in the end of July for a triathlon ( i am in a lottery right now). RIght now I am thinking the beginning of August will be good for me, if all goes as I am hoping. I hope all is well with you guys. Love you, Kami

My summer is open as of right now. If we had a date soon It would be possible for me to plan our other activities around it. If you guys wanted to do UT I would be happy to plan things out since I live here and all :)
Idaho is totally fine with me as well!
It was great seeing u too Jill and I agree about "lick me" ;) the best!!! Annalee will be old enough to leave at home so I don't think I'll bring her, but I am not 100% on that. Maybe we could put up votes on the sidebar for UT or ID and which month? and go with majority?
