Northern VA meeting IRL

Congrats on the grandson @Singersmom07. Expecting to see pictures in June

Seven of us met for lunch on this beautiful day, 6 posters and a spouse. And, as predicted, we chatted like old friends.
Though @HImom (and HIdad) cannot join us, @CountingDown, @boysx3, @smdur1970, @TooTiredMom, and I look forward to another gathering the weekend of June 24/25.

If any CCers from the greater DC area, or visiting the DC area, want to join that event, PM me and I’ll add you to the list. Let me know your preferences: Saturday/Sunday, Lunch/Dinner. I’m thinking somewhere in the Tyson’s area.

I’m hoping to join, but I could only do Sunday lunch. Please don’t plan around me, but if it works out as Sunday, I’m in.

Bumping this up for all those DC area locals (or visitors) who would like to meet for lunch on Sunday June 25th.
We’ll likely be meeting in the Tyson’s area.
PM me if you are interested, and I’ll add you to the list.

It’s not to late to join us.

Update:
Eight of us lingered over a fun brunch/lunch in a private room in a mall restaurant. And, as seems to be the rule of CC meetups, we all chatted like old friends.
@FallGirl, @raclut. @jmnva06, @1214mom, @ChuckleDoodle, @smdur1970, and @VaBluebird joined me as we put real names and faces with screen names.
Those who had to cancel were missed and that means we’ll have to do it again sometime. :smiley:

@mominva, thank you so much for putting our lunch together. It was great fun and I hope we can do it again and add others in who could not make it this time. Lots of fun!!! As I confessed I had a “shy attack” on Saturday and just didn’t know if I could do it but I’m so glad I got beyond that silliness. Everyone was very kind and outgoing and engaged. It was great. So, next time…come one, come all!

I love when people report on these CC get togethers! (who’d ya talk about??.. :wink: )

We need a CT get together.

@mominva thanks for organizing it. It was very fun to meetup. Hope to do it again soon

He’s thanks to @momonva for organizing, and thanks to others for taking the time to come out.
It was fun, and we talked about both present and previous CC’ers.

@1214mom What were we saying about @abasket? (post29)
Yes, that next time she visits our area we need another get together.

:slight_smile:

I’ve never met any of you…but @mominva met my daughter! Does that count?

Come to DC @thumper1, we’ll get a crowd to come meet you, too!

Sounds like y’all had a great time. I’m always nervous before a meet-up, too, but I’ve never been sorry I’ve gone!



I wound up conking out for four hours this afternoon (and Saturday), which kinda proved I needed the rest.



I will be at the next one!

@countingdown At first I was hesitant too but I have realized that you learn something new with each person you meet. Even though each of us have different backgrounds and journeys we all want the same things. Good health, our children’s happiness, personal fulfillment, and looking forward to the next stages of our life as our kids start to have their own lives. For example today I was inspired to take more time out for myself and think about my future.

We missed you @CountingDown , but hope to see you and everyone else again soon.

The meetup was a lot of fun, it was great meeting everyone. Thanks @mominva for organizing.

This is not the first time I have met cc people and I can truthfully say that there are a lot of terrific people here.
