Arrival, Activities, and Departure

Daily activities are suggested below.  We of course will be very flexible, and are leaving Tuesday and Wednesday very open to individual's preferences.

Our thoughts are as follows:

Saturday -- I think as Dad (Roger) has indicated, he is arranging airport transportation for Dawn and Henry, Kelly and Duke, and the large Ivan family arrival.  For the first two groups, there is only a two-hour window between arrivals, so we'll probably ask Kelly and Duke to hang out at the airport for a bit.  We are staying at Mogen Hall at CLU, which has an address of 3265 Luther Ave.  It is most easily approached on Campus Drive, however, and is at the end of Campus Drive and is one of the buildings in a traffic turnaround.

Once people arrive at CLU, you will be greeted and be given a room key by a family member.

Sunday -- We've planned Sunday morning for a time of travel recovery.  There is a Lutheran church quite close by for those interested, or individuals can sleep in, visit the pool, or walk around campus.  On Sunday afternoon we are planning a trip to the Reagan Library (within five miles of CLU).  For this outing, along with all other outings, entry fees will be paid by individuals.

Monday -- On Monday we've planned one of my favorite activities...travel to the beach for a beach BBQ.   I will be bicycling to the beach, and would invite anyone who feels up to it to bike with me.  The trip is about nine miles (after driving to a trail-head) and consists of travel on a mix of paved and packed-earth roads.  At the beach, we will provide a few boogey-boards (I think) and a beach game or two.  Individuals not interested in biking will be shuttled.  June 22 edit -- I have lined up five bikes in addition to the two bikes we own for the beach ride.  We will also have four boogey boards for those that are willing to risk the very cold July ocean water.

This is the beach.  Hopefully we'll have some clear weather on July 2nd.

Tuesday -- Tuesday is left open for individuals to plan their own activities.  Of course, we'll only have a limited number of vehicles, so hopefully there is some consensus.  We will provide transportation...again assuming that people decide on no more than two or three locations.

Options are listed in the table below.  We'll discuss options at the reunion to make a final plan.

Wednesday -- Wednesday is also left open, although we would suggest gathering relatively early in the afternoon on Wednesday to make a plan to watch fireworks!  There is also a local concert in the park that evening as an option.

Thursday -- Formal departure for some.  As with arrival, Roger will provide transportation to the airport if needed.
