GTG 2.0...2012 style :)

Last night on chatzy the talk of another big GTG came about.

November 2-4 in Nashville. 

We don't have many details worked out at all.  If anyone knows anything about Nashville (cough, cough bbetson! :)) and has suggestions for hotels, things to do, etc. definitely suggest those things.

As with Indy - everyone is invited.  We are hoping with 10.5 month notice that a bunch of people will be able to make the trip.  

Thoughts?  Ideas?

  • Yes, I think this is a great idea. I also feel like the location is a perfect choice, but I am biased.  haha.  Early November is a perfect time to come to Nashville, the weather is usually great still. And I can definitely help with some of the planning. Big Smile

  • I don't know....do we want to get this group together two days before an election? Wink

    I kid, I kid.

    I think it sounds like a fantastic idea, my only hangup (personally) is I'll still be on maternity leave and may not have the cash.  I'll have an answer when it comes time for reservations.

  • Thoughts:  AMAZING!

    Ideas:  None, I'm a Nashville virgin so I'm looking forward to going somewhere new!

    This is really exciting! :)

  • I'm down, I love Nashville!

    Can I bring the family? I don't like to go anywhere with out them.

    I know. I'm a loser.

    I am putting in my request off this afternoon for it.  Woot!! :)

    I also just realized we have plans to go to Knoxville the following weekend when Missouri plays at Tennessee.  LOL. 

  • Meg, you're making me jealous.  
  • Sounds great. I would really love to come and its close enough that I can drive it, but I'm hoping pending developments mean that I'm won't be able to ( if you catch my drift) :)

    So I'll have to play this one by ear and see how things are looking in the next few months.

    Dill, Emily mentioned that it's a less than 5 hour drive for you guys.  Hopefully you Cinci girls can all make it and ride together.  :)

    Just stay the whole week Big Smile

    Actually it hits perfectly in my schedule, I will only have to take one day of PTO and that would be the Monday after so I can recover or get home depending on how I get there.

  • Hey!  There is a chance I might be able to actually go.  It is a 10 hour drive for us but DH has been promising his aunt in Clarksville, TN that we would come up and stay with her.  If we stayed with her the week of Oct 29- Nov 2 then I would just have to get from Clarksville to Nashville (looks like it is an hour drive?) Then DH could stay with his Aunt while I hang with you girls and we could drive home Sunday.  I need to get to work on this. :)

    Nashville is an easier drive than Gatlinburg or Chicago from Cincy, I think it's like 4 to 4.5 hours pending traffic and how close to the highway your house is, in cincy that can take a good 30 minutes. LOL!

  • Oooh, I want to come!  I have never been to Nashvill and have wanted to go for awhile now!

    Although, I will hopefully be pregnant by fall so I'm not sure how much fun I'll be.

     . . . . oh . . . . my . . . . god . . . . . how WEIRD is that?

  • why do I have to live so far away...

  • I have always wanted to go to Nashville, and my sis and I want to plan another girls weekend. So pending the cost of plane tix (aren't out yet) and if I get KU, I just may be in this time :)

    Brooke- I'm bringing Settlers with me and we WILL play this time! Consider this a challenge!

  • I'm planning on it!! Sounds like a good time for DH to have LO all to himself. I hope to still be bf'ing then, so I will be pumping and dumping.
  • Really it will all depend on if DH is working then.  If he isn't, I think he can stay home with Molly. I really, really want to go.  I need some snuggletime!

    Is this Settlers of Catan?? Anyway, I hope to be in but it will be TOTALLY up in the air for a while. DH and I are hoping to go to ID in Sept for a family wedding, which will eat up any money I might be able to use...

    I'm with D on this, will know by time to make reservations.

    We should organize a GTG out west somewhere, like Denver, for those of us that live very far away from Nashville.

    I'll be right there with ya, sister.  

    I'm definitely flying to Nashville-- I don't think I can do 9 hours back to MI after a super fun weekend!  It will be well worth the $300 flight.

  • Pending anything major popping up, I am in! I have never been to Nashville, and I have always wanted to!

    Any of my fellow NY'ers considering going? (Naylon, Heather, I am talking to you!)

  • I'm in!!! I can drive there too :)
  • For me it will depend on the Clemson football schedule which is not out yet.  My family is about 2 hours from Nashville, so maybe I could make it a 2 part trip.

    I hear ya on that. I had to double check missouri's schedule for that same reason. :)

    Too far in advance to know! I'd have to wait a while before committing.

    The one problem I foresee is that I'm already doing a girls weekend with my friends from college this year to celebrate all of our 30th birthdays, so I could see DH objecting to two vacations without him/Nora within a few months. That might not fly. :)
