Preparing for Sauder Village!

This will be a fairly busy weekend for me.  With my trip next week, I need to do a lot of things this weekend in preparation.  Since Hubby and Daughter are staying home, I want to make sure it will be an easy few days for them.  I plan to pre-cook some meals and freeze them so all they will have to do is pop it in the oven when they get hungry!  I also plan on doing a "big" house cleaning along with all the laudry.  This way, all they will have to do is pick up after themselves and maybe do a load of laundry or two while I am gone to keep not only the house, but their clothes clean!  I try to make things as easy as I can for my Family.  The last time I went on Vacation, I was gone for a week and my preparations for that trip did help them a lot. 

I don't plan on packing anything until Tuesday.  My selection of clothes that I wear is actually very small so I have to keep them out until right before I leave.  I have a check-in time confirmed with Sauder Inn at 3:00 p.m. August 1, 2012.  Since the drive will be about 4.5 - 5 hours long, I plan to leave around 9:00 a.m.  This gives me plenty of time so if I have to stop to use the restroom, eat or just take a short driving break, I will have the time to spare.  As for my return trip, my check-out time is 10:00 a.m. August 4, 2012 but the actual Doll and Teddy Bear Show and Sale begins on the 4th and with my enrollment in the Workshop, I also will receive a ticket to the  Private Preview Event on Saturday that is from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m.  Then the actual Show and Sale begins.  I did want to stay for a while and shop around and talk to other doll and teddy bear makers.  I think it will be fun meeting other people who love dolls as much as I do!  So, my departure time is not set yet.  I feel I will more than likely stay until 3:00 p.m. before heading back home. 

Sauder Village does have a website that has tons of information.  Here is the link:   http://www.saudervillage.com/home/default.asp
I just know this is really going to be a fun experience!  Not only am I going to enjoy the workshop, but I am also going to have a very good time exploring the Village and taking in all the wonderful things it has to offer!  My only regret is my Family will not be with me.  I am planning on taking tons of pictures and posting all about my experience here after I return!  So, until then, I am off to start my preparations.  Have a safe and fun weekend everyone and I will be back with more soon!
