The girls should have a blast and I honk it will soften the sads after her grandparents head back home.<br /> Have fun everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824871 Fri, 25 May 2018 13:55:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2824871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: 🙏🏼 good luck!!

Pool opens Saturday. DH works Sun/Mon, so kids and I may go to a splash park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824705 Thu, 24 May 2018 19:01:17 +0000 MamaBear87 2824705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to not be too undone by my upcoming procedure on Tuesday. We were supposed to go to ca for a big family party instead.<br /> All of your plans sound way better! 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824696 Thu, 24 May 2018 18:00:33 +0000 lamariniere 2824696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a different holiday here, but it’s a 5 day weekend for the kids. :happy: We’re going to the beach for a few nights and one of our friends with kids is tagging along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824613 Thu, 24 May 2018 13:11:30 +0000 psw27 2824613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to Texas to visit some good friends! BBQ, pool parties and boating here I come! Hopefully my wonderful children are perfect angels the entire flight and the whole weekend. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824610 Thu, 24 May 2018 13:03:23 +0000 DesertDreams88 2824610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are camping with our church family and then having a date day on Monday to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. Toddler is going to ILs house for the whole day and we are not sure what our date will entail but we have a cheesecake factory gift card so there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824595 Thu, 24 May 2018 12:29:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2824595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: congrats! That’s so exciting! </p> <p>DH is in a golf tournament at his new country club so I’ll be home alone with the kids most of the weekend. And most of our friends are going away for the weekend. So not super exciting for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824579 Thu, 24 May 2018 11:54:34 +0000 MaryM 2824579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom is coming tomorrow so DH and I can go to a wedding Saturday without the baby (first time leaving him with someone while we go out!). I'm hoping maybe she'll be willing to do some of the night feedings so we get to sleep extra too. It's also our anniversary weekend (Monday). I asked DH if we had plans this weekend and he mumbled something about yard work, so I guess we aren't going out for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824575 Thu, 24 May 2018 11:50:42 +0000 crazydoglady 2824575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister and I are going away for a quasi-babymoon! (She's 30 weeks and I am 24.) We are going to stay in this little village on the coast, go to a day spa, have breakfast delivered to our room, walk around the village and shop. I CANNOT wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824570 Thu, 24 May 2018 11:44:51 +0000 Ajsmommy 2824570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824565 Thu, 24 May 2018 11:42:45 +0000 smuckers 2824565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saturday is DD's 1st birthday party (though this is the only thing we're doing, it's likely going to be a draining day :wink: )<br /> Sunday is MIL's birthday (plans tbd because my inlaws are last minute planners)<br /> Monday is DD's actual birthday (small photo shoot on our lawn, visiting my parents for BBQ, crying because my baby is huge, etc)</p> <p>It's going to be a busy, fantastic weekend :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824523 Thu, 24 May 2018 10:14:47 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2824523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may stop by a thrift store and see if there are any clothes I need. I’m trying to replace my wardrobe because I basically haven’t bought new clothes since 2014 and all my T-shirt’s are falling off or basically rags. </p> <p>I’m hoping we’ll get together with family but DH’s family is super flaky so idk. We have a formal wedding on Saturday that’s catered by a super duper fancy restaurant (like the most expensive one in our ruralish town), so I’m really looking forward to the food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824520 Thu, 24 May 2018 10:11:20 +0000 lioneyes 2824520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>toilet training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824516 Thu, 24 May 2018 10:02:11 +0000 mediagirl 2824516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: yes, it's going to be a long week. Thank you for all the suggestions!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824513 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:56:04 +0000 NorthStar 2824513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh wow, that's a long time. Other places to check out:</p> <p>*Canal Park Brewery (i know you aren't drinking, but their food is good).</p> <p>*Northern Water's Smokehouse - has good sandwiches/smoked fish. <a href="https://northernwaterssmokehaus.com/sandwiches/" rel="nofollow">https://northernwaterssmokehaus.com/sandwiches/</a></p> <p>*Va Bene - Italian</p> <p>*Duluth Grill - has vegetarian and other good food. Mostly organic/healthy and has same owners as OMC.</p> <p>*New Scenic Cafe - If you have time to take a 20-30 minute drive up the north shore. Has high end food.</p> <p>*Tavern on the Hill - has good american and other food. Lots of great options and they have a nice outdoor patio.</p> <p>*Within the Fitger's complex is Fitgers Brewhouse (has really good food) and Boat House (I've heard has good seafood).</p> <p>So, here are a few options! Feel free to reach out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824512 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:51:13 +0000 mediagirl 2824512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: I'll be in town late Monday (not eating) through Friday at lunchtime. Not drinking right now or I'd be all for the craft beers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824510 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:48:28 +0000 NorthStar 2824510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ok - the hands down best place to eat is at OMC Smokehouse. Southern Living had an article last year with each state's best BBQ and this was MN's. If you like craft beer, I would suggest going to Bent Paddle and ordering OMC from there. Then, you can see their awesome new tap room, while also having OMC (OMC will deliver it there as they are a block away). Here are two links to those places. How long are you in town? If you need more suggestions, let me know. lol Looking at Bent Paddle's website, they might be closed Monday? So, I'd check that first, but you could definitely just go to the restaurant.</p> <p><a href="http://bentpaddlebrewing.com/taproom/the-bent-tap.php" rel="nofollow">http://bentpaddlebrewing.com/taproom/the-bent-tap.php</a></p> <p><a href="https://omcsmokehouse.com/" rel="nofollow">https://omcsmokehouse.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824507 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:45:44 +0000 mediagirl 2824507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: I'd LOVE food recommendations.

I've heard that they are currently running pretty heavy and are beautiful.</p> <p>DH is in his last class for his MBA, but he needs to write a paper. Boo! Otherwise, just would like to get our garden planted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824500 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:37:46 +0000 NorthStar 2824500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I live in Duluth! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-almost-here-i-can-smell-it#post-2824499 Thu, 24 May 2018 09:37:28 +0000 NorthStar 2824499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Hey, I live in Duluth!!!
