Midwest Nestie GTG

ThisModernLove · June 2014

Let's start planning this! Where is everyone at approximately so we can find a central location or if that doesn't 100% matter to you - where would you like to meet up?

I'm in the Cincinnati area, and would prefer to go somewhere for a day trip, so somewhere within a couple hours drive. I could easily do Indy or Columbus.

I'm not a super-frequent poster, but I read this board everyday. I'm in the Columbus area and would be happy to meet up with some Midwestern Nesties! Just to throw out a suggestion... there is an AMAZING book store called The Book Loft in the German Village part of Columbus that you girls would love. 32 rooms of books - it's like a maze. And what do you know, there's a fabulous pastry shop just down the street?

Or Chicago, I love Chicago.

I feel the same way about a day trip but I'm in Chicago so...

I'm in Grand Rapids, MI. Chicago is about 3 hours from me. Columbus is 5. Indy is just over 4. I could theoretically do any of them, but Chicago would be easiest as a day trip for me.

I'm in Northeast Ohio.

The Book Loft really is so amazing that it's worth traveling to. I lived in C-bus for a long time and I miss it dearly.

Chicago is 5.5 hours away, Columbus is 2 and Indy is 4.5. I am kind of a timid driver and would honestly be a little nervous to drive into Chicago by myself, but maybe I'd just have to get over it

@kayash would probably be interested in this too if she's around

I'm in NW Missouri, but depending on when and where I could make this work!

I have no idea how it is that we still haven't met. We must.

I know, right? My schedule is quite a bit more flexible than it used to be so maybe we can make this happen over the summer.

I live in eastern Kansas and would love a day trip but could try to make something else work.

ThisModernLove · June 2014

I have no real preference. With Chicago I could make a weekend of it to also visit other friends but Columbus is much closer to me. I'm in northwest Ohio.

jackiback · June 2014

How's October? Then we are past everyone's summer plans but it's not freezing cold yet.

packfan20 · June 2014

Mid/end October works for me. Especially if I have to do a weekend somewhere.

mrsvedo · June 2014

I'm likely out for October as I'm due Oct 12 and Oct 4 is BIL's wedding. If October works best for everyone else, though, don't let me be the party pooper.

nbalkin · June 2014

October works well here, especially since its my birthday month !!!

We live within driving distance to Chicago, but we've taken a train into Chicago from northern Indiana before. One of these stations might be on your way: http://www.nictd.com/riding-the-train/maps-stations/station-locations
