Is your mom in the same house? If so, we're only about a mile away. Maybe we'll bump into you somewhere? I'd love to say hi in person.

Don't forget Storyland, Playland, and the Underground Gardens. Maybe we'll see you at Buchanan on the 4th!

Pool's all clean & ready for play! Extra towels await!

New inn's not ready yet, but next year - plenty of space + a spa!

See you soon!

Love,
Dad
