Well it is such fun to have you all come and look at semps. Hey, Bev liked it so much she moved here!
When the snow melts I'll get with the folks at Robert's and get a menu prepared. We generally do 4 different entrees and then have a salad and dessert choice. Everyone has a great time there too as we have the room to ourselves and we can visit.
You should have ample time to buy plants at various venues too. the Friends of Bush Park sale, and up at Sebright. After you see the landscaping at Sebright you might want to rethink your landscaping!
If I reserve a block of rooms at the Red Lion and generally they will give me a better rate if I do that. The Red Lion is just off the I-5 so it's easy to get to most of the places around town. They also have a great breakfast cooked to order.
