Midwestern Reunion Story:

My last HS reunion was the summer after my mother had died, which meant that my BFF and her daughter drove down from Chicago to hang out with me, my sisters, Happykid, and all the other cousins one last time in the Big House before we cleaned it out to sell it. Happykid and the Chicago-pseudo-cousin packed off to one of my sisters’ homes for a day and a half while BFF and I entertained other HS pals at my old family home, stayed out late, and sat with the old sponsor of the Biology Club at the “Geek Table” at the reunion dinner. We had a blast. Other than the requisite tour of the recently renovated HS, we dodged all activities that required more than sitting around, eating, talking, and laughing.

If you don’t have an old family home to lounge around in, make sure that at least one of your HS BFFs is booked into the same hotel, and that the place has a pool, bar, breakfast/snack area or the like to hang out in. All you will really want to do is talk, and the location won’t matter much at all.

Wishing you a wonderful time!
