Hotel Reservations

Hi everyone! How's everyone enjoying spring so far? Stuart and I have a little break time from the legislature right now, but we've been keeping busy with wedding planning and home improvement projects. Stuart (that dear, sweet boy) has been stripping wallpaper in our bedroom, which I helped with a little bit, and I have been looking for bridesmaid and mother of the bride dresses among other things. Our weather has been a mixture of gorgeous, humid, cool, sunny and rainy-- about par for the course in Kansas this time of year!

I wanted to let you all know that we now have a block of rooms reserved under the Bell-Little Wedding at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. Our block is reserved for two nights, Friday, September 10th and Saturday, September 11th. We figured that most of our out-of-town guests would be arriving on Friday and leaving Sunday. The rate for each night is $89 for a standard room with two queen-sized beds. Once (and if) our block gets filled the hotel will continue to honor the room rate on an availability basis. In order to receive the group rate reservations need to be made before Friday, August 20. Here is the phone number to the hotel: (785) 431-7200 and a link to their website: www.capitolplazahoteltopeka.com. I think that you will have to call the hotel to set up your room reservations under our block.

The Capitol Plaza is a nice hotel in a very central location in Topeka. It's close to both the Statehouse, our house, and the place that we are thinking about holding our rehearsal dinner, to which we are inviting all of our family and out-of-town guests on Friday. It's a place where Stuart and I would enjoy staying and would feel comfortable having guests stay. It's a little ways to our wedding location, but really so is any hotel in the area.

There are several other good options for accommodations in Topeka. One of those options that Stuart recommends is the Lake Shawnee campground for those of you who are coming out in an RV. Here is a link to the website: http://www.snco.us/parksandrec/lake_campground.asp. It's both close to Topeka and to Stonypoint Hall.

If you have any questions about either of these places or if you want to know more about other options please let us know and we would be happy to help you find a good place to stay. We want you to enjoy your time here in Kansas!
