Hmmm, Sorry folks I guess I didn't realize I was taking the lead on this. It's no big deal though, I will glad to take the reigns.
Hatchet, Thanks for doing the leg work for the hotels. If I have my choice, since they are all pretty close in price I would want to stay at the Comfort Suites. I have always had really good experiences with Choice Hotels. I think it would be well worth the 10-20 dollars more a night. That said, with exception of the Hampton Inn, all the others pretty much share the same parking lot, so get a room where ever you feel comfortable and we can just pick a corner of the lot in the middle to hang out for our standard bull shit session and police interactions.
I will have to check with the Kruse Museum and see if they will have any objections to us hanging out in the parking lot. I don't see it being an issue, especially with people going in. It is an amazing building, and houses many different collections. They have TV and movie cars, antique cars and trucks, monster trucks, military memorabilia, and much more. It is certainly a must see if you haven't been there before or recently. I will also have to check and see if we would be allowed to grill in the parking lot.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from locally. Friday night will have to be at Mad Anthony Brewing Company, and Saturday can be at the traditional Buffalo Wild Wings. Saturday breakfast will be a free for all, depending on the final choice of hotel it could just be the free breakfast. Sunday breakfast will be my favorite, Cracker Barrel.
If there is any interest, Bundy Hill Offroad Park is an hour and fifteen minute drive and can be added to a Sunday plan.
Phone calls will be made soon, I will update as soon as I can.
