NE ladies

valstulas · March 2014

Let's do this!

Let's have a GTG! Who's in?

Plan for MA, maybe.

Are weekends best or does it matter? LMK.

[Deleted User] · March 2014

I wish I lived closer to you gals

valstulas · March 2014

Me, too @Asbromle‌!

Weekends are generally best for me...especially if a longer drive is involved.

valstulas · March 2014

Is the North Shore area pretty much centralized?

geoffandjen728 · March 2014

Ooh fun! Weekend for sure

24karat · March 2014

Between 2-3hrs for me, depending on exact location and traffic.

emmanemm · March 2014

I want to come. Why must you ladies be so far away?

grapeskittles4lyfe · March 2014

I'm pretty flexible (yay for maternity leave!) but it seems like weekends would work best for most.

Where are you located? Or general idea. I know western ma takes me about an 1 1/2.

Northwestern MA near the VT border. DH says it's closer to 2hrs, maybe under if we're not at rush hour.

Should we meet in Boston?

geoffandjen728 · March 2014

Maybe Boston itself? That way for people coming far there is the option they could make a bigger day/weekend of it?

chiboo9 · March 2014

Fun!!

So many awesome bumpies in one area. I wanna go!!

Just so y'all are aware, driving in Boston blows giant chunks. If you're going to do an in-city meet-up I'd suggest parking outside the city and taking the T.
For real, I'd rather drive in LA.

I was thinking the same. The only place I've ever driven to in Boston is the NE Aquarium.

grapeskittles4lyfe · March 2014

yay!!!

valstulas · March 2014

Not sure about Jordan's Furniture, but we'll think of something

We can discuss exact date/location more in PM.

Hmmm... I've been begging my SO to take me on vacation. He doesn't want to fly with LO yet (germs or whatever his issue is, no clue...it's not like he'd be the one taking care of him on the flight) but maybe he's drive us to Boston for a long weekend

but then again as soon as this stupid winter stops it'll be busy season for him again

reallylongusername · March 2014

I am as long as I'm available whatever day it ends up being.

Where you guys met up last time is about 40min. from me.

I suggest meeting at the Wakefield lake. There is a park and a sitting area and food and ice cream close by. There is a train station a few miles away and buses that go right to lake. The lake has a real name but I'll have to google. It's nice to walk around as well if people want to bring strollers etc.

Quannapowitt? When I lived in Acton I nannied in Wakefield and would take him to the playgrounds and for walks around that lake.

I'm so in! I live in Boston, so that location would not be a problem for me as I walk and take "The T". However, as maryannespier noted, driving in Boston is a bitch, and managing to navigate my way OUT of Boston via automobile is an anxiety-provoking issue for me that I have yet to tackle. So for me to attend, the location would have to be accessible by T or on a date or a time when SO is off work so he could drive.

Ermehgerd I'm so excited!

@Asbromle I really want you to join us, too. We can finally show Mr. Bromle that I'm not a creepy guy who lives in my parents' basement.

I feel like everyone who hates driving in Boston should go into town early on a Saturday morning and get a feel for what lanes to be in to get around. After that, it's really not bad! And this is coming from a former NH resident! That being said, if we did a Boston meetup I would take the T in

Once I drove around Harvard Square for like thirty minutes hopelessly lost and narrowly missing many pedestrians who were wantonly ignoring jaywalking laws.
That put me off driving in Boston forever.

Sheesh. Sounds like driving in certain parts of Lynn, Chelsea, and Revere. Can't even tell you how many times pedestrians (often with strollers!!) stepped out in front of cars and buses on my way to and from work everyday when I lived/worked in that area. Awful!

geoffandjen728 · March 2014

Oh man @maryannespier‌ seriously! Actually, I think it's best to stay off rt3 95, 93, 24 rt1 and especially the expressway anytime from 6-10 or 3-7.

lancomechica · March 2014

I want to go to your GTG!

When I send out the PM, I'll include you and @Asbromle‌. One can dream.

lancomechica · March 2014

Sure. I could always fly up with LO and do a "Boston Day". It's not out of the realm of possibility

So long as wherever we pick is relatively easy to get to (aka not a maze of crazy traffic like Boston :P) I should be okay. I'm not too terribly familiar with driving around closer to the main metropolitan areas of New England.
