<p>In case you aren't aware, it is time/almost time to make your hotel reservations for Commencement 2010! I reserved the Courtyard West End on the first morning available for S's graduation, but messed up and missed the day by just about 3 days last year (I think they opened things up around the end of May), so ended up at the Courtyard Downtown. It was nice and I got a great rate after I re-reserved in January (one of the few good things about the economic downturn), but I spent an hour waiting for my car on graduation morning which translated in bench seating at the gym instead of chair back seating. Hopefully you'll be on the lawn with good weather and it won't matter as much!</p>
