If we really have a nationwide BMB gtg, what location would work BEST? I tried picking realistic (population dense) destinations that are easy to travel to, but feel free to add more, they just won't be clickable!

  • I picked Chicago cuz it's close to me, but now I'm thinking make it somewhere warm so I have an excuse to go!

  • I picked Chicago because it's one of the closest and it's my home town.

  • Los Angeles would work best for me because there's no way I'd be able to afford to travel anywhere. #wishihadbettercreditsoicouldchurncreditcardsformiles #longestpoundingever
  • I would normally have picked Las Vegas, but if we are bringing the babies then Vegas isn't very baby friendly.  So I picked Chicago.  It's a great central location and there is plenty to do, even outside of the city, some really great zoos.
  • I picked Chicago because I'm lazy and I'm from there, but then I was thinking more about it and I think it's really centrally located for most people (direct flights and all) and in the summer Chicago is AWESOME. Don't come now though, stay far away.

  • I chose Chicago bc it seems the most centrally located. But really now, why isn't Nashville in the mix? We could get our honky tonk on!

  • I picked Chicago for the central location but Denver would be even better.
  • I voted San Fran because it's near where I used to live/where my family is but I'd do my best to travel wherever we would have a GTG. And @rsigler YGPM :)

  • I love San Fran but I picked Chicago because it's centrally located. Plus lots of good places to eat and drink. But Kansas City is also very central and not super expensive. But the airport is super north of town.

  • Atlanta, NY or DC

    I would like to add Orlando or somewhere in Tennessee just because

  • I think somewhere in FL would be good. Warm weather for all the northerners & beaches.
  • I said Chicago because I have family there I could stay with.

  • i think dallas and chicago are pretty central to everyone. but i picked dallas because it's cheaper than chicago.

    This... Although Denver is also a great idea. Pretty much smack dab in the center if the country and its lovely in the summer with to a to do.

    St. Louis! Just as centrally located as Chicago but cheaper.

  • I picked Dallas because it is in Texas and close by.  I wouldn't mind Florida because we have friends and family there.  San Diego would be great too.  If I'm going to Vegas I"m going kids free! LOL

  • I'm in FL, but I think Chicago or somewhere in NY would be great. My LB ( @sweettilight16 ) will be here in about two weeks!!!!!! I want to meet so many of you ladies though!

  • Tomorrow or so, after we get more votes in, I'll do a semi finals and add in Denver, Orlando, Atlanta, St. Louis....anywhere else? Then we can do finals after that, then we can discuss what season is best for that location...and then keep narrowing from there? And I'd like a co planner from the city we pick since Seattle isn't winning (damn).


  • I would be up for anywhere. Bring it on.

  • Realistically, I don't think I'd be able to make it to somewhere that requires flying. NY is close to me and Boston is doable. Anywhere we can drive to in 4 hours or less is doable for me.

    Why don't we have more than one? It will make it possible for more bumpies to meet up.

    More than one is a good idea--but I'm not planning all of them ;). Just surveying right now for one everyone may want to go to.

    I second the multiple GTG idea. Maybe do regional ones? West Coast, East Coast, Middle of Nowhere, etc.

     Also, Los Angeles area means we could meet up at Disneyland, and wouldn't that be awesome?

    That's why I threw LA in there!! I think we should shoot for one national one and then also regional ones as necessary.

  • I voted Chicago because its close and seemed the most centrally located. I could also vote for Atlanta, St. Louis or Nashville.

  • I say Atlanta or Nashville because they are close and I have no funds for traveling much further than that. Chattanooga is cool too!

  • I picked Dallas because it's not far from us but it's really easy for us to travel to. The next would be Chicago but we would have to go to Dallas first before we even got to Chicago.
  • Seattle!!

    Love Chicago. It's our fav city and only an 8 hr drive. But Nashville would work too. My sister lives in Kentucky so a 2 for 1!
  • Yay Chicago.

  • I say we make it a moms only weekend and hit up Vegas. Bring the kiddos next time when they can be more mobile and interactive with eachother?
  • Dallas would be my first choice. Duh. But since that might be unrealistic, I picked Chicago because there's a good chance I might be there this summer. :)
