MA/NH/ME Meetup!!

By Adira Jul 8, 2014

Okay Bees, I've been DYING for another meetup since the Boston one a YEAR ago, but I'd LOVE to meet a little north of the border (though I'm open to suggestions)!!

I was actually thinking it could be fun to meet up at the Merrimack Outlets in NH (http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=101). They have a playground and in the summer it'll be nice weather to be outside. Plus tax-free shopping!! Who doesn't love that??

What does everyone think?? Maybe we could plan something for late August or September??

I'm not sure if I will make it from CT, but if the dates work, I might come!

@petunia354: Yeah, that could be a long drive from CT, depending on where we have it!

I'm just over 45 minutes from Portsmouth, nh and would be open to coming down to NH! Labor Day we will be out of town, and the first weekend in August we have guests. Sounds fun!

@yoursilverlining: Ooooh, yay!!! I'd love for you to come to a meetup!!! We could even do it closer to Portsmouth if that worked for people! Then people from the Boston area could just take 95N to get there.

We would love to join if the dates work out! We usually have plans on the weekend in the summer but a Sunday might work!

I'd be up for it assuming the date is free :). We've got a couple things going on in August and we'll be on the cape for the first week of September.

@bushelandapeck: I was actually thinking maybe a Sunday would work better for most people!

@ShootingStar: Maybe we just need to start throwing out dates?? We'll assume everyone's busy Labor Day weekend, but maybe late August or even late September would work for folks.

I could do the third weekends in August or any weekend in Sept after Labor Day.

@bushelandapeck: Do you mean 8/16 and 8/17? And then any weekend in September after Labor Day?

I'm currently free all of August and September!

@Adira: actually I meant the 23/24 in August. Yes, any Sunday after Labor Day in Sept should work too.

@MrsKoala: Where are you? Or is anywhere in NH too far? I was hoping to hold it somewhere a little more north so our Maine friends could come!

@bushelandapeck: I was actually thinking you probably meant the 23/24, but wanted to double-check!

@cheert16: I'm not sure! I suggested 8/24, but only @bushelandapeck: responded, so I'm not positive if others can make it and/or are interested! Does 8/24 work for you?

And as for location, did people want to do something like Merrimack (little playground at the Outlets) or I know some of the Maine Bees might be more interested in Portsmouth, but I wasn't sure if they were planning on coming.

@cheert16: @bushelandapeck: Does the Merrimack Outlets work for you ladies?

I *might* actually be able to join you this time! Merrimack Outlets are about 1 hour from us. I think that's doable. Portsmouth would be a little further, but possible.

I think so. I have to check with DH to confirm, but there's nothing on our calendar that I know of

@Adira: Works for us! What time were you thinking? We have a b-day party for my niece/nephew in NH on Sat so we may end up spending the night.

@bushelandapeck: I have no idea. What time works for people? Last time, our meetup was at 11:00. But early afternoon would probably work best for us now because Xander's switching to one nap. But I'll try to figure out whatever works for other people.

@Adira: Works for us! Merrimack outlets are about 25 minutes from us- so no biggie!

@cheert16: What time works for you? I was kind of thinking maybe around 1:00, but I have no idea what other people's nap times look like.

@Adira: Charlie naps from 1-3pm usually so we may not be able to make a meet up if it's early in the afternoon. We could probably do 4pm, but that's probably a little late for a Sunday.

@Adira: I think 8/24 works for me, too!

Merrimack is fine; and any time (except early morning lol) is fine. E will sleep in the car on our drive down; she's been nap-resistent on weekends anyway, so we don't need to plan around her nap schedule!

@Adira: Lil B naps around noonish (most days) but we can adjust to whatever. He is pretty good like that!

@bushelandapeck: Earlier could work for us too if I just keep Xander up and have him take an afternoon nap instead of a morning one.

Maybe 11:00?

@Adira: Plan it for whatever works for the majority. Depending on where we are travelling from (NH vs MA) we may or may not make it. I didn't realize my sister was having the party that weekend when I was thinking about this before. Ugh.

I'd be more likely to be able to do Portsmouth! But I'm also due on sept 4th, so wouldn't want to be taken to seriously...
