I know we are pretty spread out, but figured I'd get a thread going since it's warmed up! Hopefully there's still some interest! 
Anyone interested in a Mitten Meet-up?
@bao:, @turtledoves:, @prettylizy:, @mrs. tea:, @mrsh:, @mrs d:, @MRSRCCAR:

I'M DOWN!! WOOT, WOOT!
-
I know we talked about Lansing? Or maybe Somerset mall since so many of us make special "shopping trips" to Troy?
-
@mrsjyw: I'm literally mid-point of either place, so it doesn't matter to me.
I personally like Somerset more because of the shopping
but I don't care either way.Let's make a vote? Can you, please Mrsjyw?
Either Somerset Mall in Troy,MI or Lansing, MI (Lansing mall?)
and then after we pick a city and date....we can privately (via email?) decide on the exact place and time.
*Canadian bees too! Windsor and Toronto are super close. Oh and possibly OH (Toledo)
-
I'm in!!!! I was just thinking about this on the weekend, (we were in Troy shopping!)
I vote Somerset because I know where that is! lol!
-
Somerset for me!!
Though I'd be willing to drive to Lansing -
Troy is 172 Miles for me, yikes! I wouldn't want to make that trip alone with LO, just because it's so far...so I guess depending on the day if my DH could come and even just go do his own thing for a bit, idk? Lansing is about an hour away from me though.
-
@mrsjyw: @Bao: where is lansing? 172 miles is far dude! lol! I wouldn't want to do that alone either
-
@prettylizy: Lansing is about dead center in the state.
-
I don't mind taking the trip, it's just DH would need to be able to come. Not sure what he would do when we got there though lol, probably not his idea of fun since he doesn't know the area! Plus his only day off is Sunday's...oye! Not trying to be difficult I will be flexible if we get more concrete plans
-
Can I butt in and come if it's in Lansing???
-
@Mrs. Polish: Of course!! I didn't know you were from MI!
-
@Bao: Oh, we know you're not trying to be difficult! I totally understand.
I think it'll just come down to the majority? I wonder if the Ohio girls and the other Canadian bees will be willing to Somerset or Lansing.
@mrsjyw: is there any way you can edit the title to say (and Canadian bees and Ohio)? You don't have to if you don't want to:) But, I think we will get a nice sized group that way.
-
@TurtleDoves: Good idea!
-
@Mrs. Polish: come come come, and i think troy would be closer, no? maybe not. i dont know my indiana~
-
@TurtleDoves: done! I know prettylizy and mrs. tea are windsor bees~
-
@Bao: I'm in Fort Wayne, IN. It takes about 45 min to get to MI.
@mrsjyw: Troy adds about an hour or so to the time, but depending on the plans I might be able to swing it.
-
@Mrs. Polish: haha duh!! I did know that, mom brain
you just told me that like 2 days ago, so sorry!
-
I just googled and I would do Lansing too
-
@Bao: let's say I have mom brain too, because I don't remember that conversation!
-
@Mrs. Polish: IG
-
@Bao: I clearly can't use technology responsibly. I remember now
-
I'd be down for a trip to lansing!
-
The locations are tied! Bumping in case anyone missed this
-
I've never been either place. Are the meeting places comparable in what is there?
-
@mrsjyw: is IKEA near Troy???
-
@Mrs. Polish: I think it's about 30 min?
I'm open to all locations-- maybe we can do smaller meetups and diff places according to when ppl are there?
IKEA sounds like a great option too~
-
@mrsjyw: I have a list of things I need from IKEA, so I'm down to make that a location too.
-
When were you guys thinking of having the meet up?
-
Any Saturdays usually work for us
-
@mrsjyw: ok
I will def have to do the Lansing location then since I would have to go by myself. Unless I can get DH to get a Saturday off...will any other hubbys be coming? I would hate for him to be so bored entertaining himself but I guess he would manage We don't mind making the trip to the East side, we've just gotta plan for it.
-
Ok, why don't we just lock down Lansing?
And that it is def a Sat?
And that it is before Ramadan? pleeease? Ramadan is July 9th.
yay or nay?
We want everyone's input!*I'm going to text mrsrccar and tell her to look at this thread!
-
lansing's good,
15th, 22nd, 29th are all good for me and baby (we'll likely be coming w/o hubby since he works some saturdays
-
I can do Lansing any of those days. It would just be me and Isaiah. Dh works weekends.
-
@mrsjyw: @Mrs. Polish: I think it should be a girl's day! No hubbies?
Ok....as soon as we get everyone who wants to come then we can move to email and/or texting.
I can do 15, 22, 29 as well.
I am thinking 22nd?Because it is 2 weeks away. Enough time to plan the drive but not too far away?
What say you, MI bees?!
-
@Mrs. Polish: Um, P.S: If you go to IKEA soon, I wouldn't mind a Turtledoves and Mrs.Polish meet-up at IKEA. I will tell DH you forced me to meet you and there and I really didn't want to go and spend all my money and buy everything, but I did it for you.
-
JEALOUS!!!
-
@TurtleDoves: I'm lucky that it's so far away because I would be completely poor if it were closer! I'm all about meeting there
-
22nd in Lansing works for me so far.
-
I live in Troy so I voted somerset for obvious reasons - though I try to keep a safe distance from that place because it is DANGEROUS!
We could always do Lansing this time and IKEA another (IKEA is more metro Detroit-ish).
Let me know what you girls decide and I'm in if I am available!
Thought I should warn you all I'm a hot sweaty preggo mess right now - woot woot!
but I don't care either way.
Though I'd be willing to drive to Lansing
