Okay girls...here's the official thread. We're planning on being in Georgetown/Round Rock around 11:30. Being that it's a Saturday, it might be too busy at ChickFilA to meet. ours is always packed on Saturdays, no matter what time of day it is.

Can someone make some suggestions about good places to meet up where we can eat lunch and let the kiddos have some freedom?

I hope you guys can make it!

I'm in... let me think of what's up near Gtown. In my area we have a Waterloo Ice House- nice playscape and yard for the kids to pay in... I'll look and see.

Come on up... I'm from San Antonio and family still lives there. :)

Priscilla

ANYONE that can make the drive is welcome, heheh

I think waterloo would be awesome (and YUM).. may even be able to get DH to come along....

I know the *perfect* place!! Mighty Fine burgers in Round Rock (next to Ikea) has an incredible playground outside. There are several other counter-service eateries there in the same little strip. We can chill out on the patio and let the kids play! Lots o' fun & I think it'll be central for everyone.

YEAH!! I'm in Austin (Round Rock), too!! YIPPEE!!!

ooh - Mighty Fine is PERFECT! great suggestion!

It will be SO FUN to meet everyone!!

ETA: If it happens to be raining, we can always meet up at the children's play area in the restaurant inside IKEA. (?) I know IKEA'll be busy on a Saturday, but it'll work in a pinch!

Priscilla

10-02-2009, 11:20 PM

ooooh yeah!! I forgot about them ... they are pretty good :D

I'll be really hard to recognize since I blend in so well and no one can EVER spot me in a crowd (:rolleyes::rolleyes: (Joke, heheh that I am sure Christine gets, heheh))

LOL!! I just have to laugh at the names here!

So, Texas has "Mighty Fine Burgers" and "Whattaburgers" (I know I'm spelling that one wrong!). Sorry...just got a giggle!!

I can't even send my son over to tell you all hello! He'll be here with me! I just sent him a ticket to fly home Oct 16.

I will be coming in the spring though, and I think Miss Darcy needs to make another trip down there....and Keely...you will NEED to be there!!!

schock77

10-03-2009, 06:46 PM

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST realized that's UT vs. OU- Red River Rivalry game in Dallas. We've got tickets and we'll be in Dallas (I'm glad- those tickets are the hardest to get a hold of for the entire season, but bummed to miss it!!!!) I was so looking forward to meeting the font queen in person!

Austin-area girls: we've got to get together AGAIN sometime soon. Priscilla will have fun for me I know! :)

Have fun, Stephanie!
DH and I met 10 years ago on Texas-OU weekend (in Austin). I was visiting from Atlanta and he was at home for the weekend. Nothing to do with the UT/OU game, but that game always marks the anniversary of our meeting! :)

if it were just a little closer to Houston I would love to join you guys. We should have a Houston group lunch.

schock77

10-04-2009, 03:35 PM

We've run into some problems this week so who knows... maybe we'll sell the tickets (we could pay off our season tickets for what we'd get for them), pocket some much needed cash and go to lunch with you gals instead. I'll keep you posted for sure!
Mighty Fine is great and about 3 minutes from my house too!

Oh man...I'm sorry I can't make it. That is DS1's first swim meet. :(

Have a great time!

10-05-2009, 02:05 PM

Mighty Fine is less than 5 mintues from my house AND DH will be out of town with our DS so it'll just be Emma and me! Yippee! Sounds like fun!

Darcy Baldwin

10-05-2009, 05:41 PM

Sounds like Mighty Fine it is! We're shooting to be there by 11:30..but might get there sooner depending on potty stops and traffic.

Can I ask someone to coordinate? Can we call ahead and get tables set up? Can someone be the go-to phone person that we can call and do the phone tree if something happens, etc.?

I can't wait too see some of you again, and meet the rest! It'll be fun!!!

1girl1boy

10-05-2009, 06:34 PM

I can do that. Everyone who is attending just shoot me their numbers via PM and I'll hook it up.

neenee

10-05-2009, 07:17 PM

Can't wait to meet everyone! This is so exciting!

1girl1boy

10-13-2009, 02:04 PM

This is who i have so far

Priscilla - 3 or 4
Beckie - 3

NeeNee - 2

Let me know if you are planning to join us! Can't wait to meet y'all!

Awesomeness! Can't wait!!!

10-15-2009, 11:11 AM

Ok girlies! Saturday is fast approaching. Any more additions to the meet up? I called Mighty Fine and they said they would be no problem for our group. Weather should be perfect...sunny and in the 70s. Can't wait!!!!

Darcy Baldwin

10-15-2009, 11:22 AM

Christine may have 3 or 4, depending on what's going on - if their life isn't in the way at the moment...she'll pop in before Saturday, I'm sure.

Sounds like so much fun! You all better take photos to share!! :)

Oh, have fun everyone!!!! I wish I could come but I live in New England! :(

schock77

10-15-2009, 08:36 PM

Well I'm TOTALLY bummed to miss it (especially since its literally 5 minutes from my house) Argh! It's been - quite possibly- the worst month of my life... BUT I got a sub for tomorrow and my husband and I are heading to Dallas for the UT vs. OU game and Gearbox's Borderlands video game release party. Sounds like a good "guy" weekend I know, but I'm thrilled (though I will miss having my weekend scrap time). We desperately needed a getaway, and it includes a long weekend at a luxury hotel AND it's kid-free, so here's hoping it gets us cheered up and maybe our luck will turn around.

So you gals who actually live in the area, take pictures and start thinking about the next one- I'm in for the next one....

Hook 'Em!!!!!!!!!!!!!

neenee

10-15-2009, 09:15 PM

Are we meeting at 1130?

Priscilla

10-15-2009, 09:44 PM

So excited.

Priscilla

10-15-2009, 09:50 PM

So are we going to flood the gallery with Mighty Fine Pages :pnext week?!

neenee

10-15-2009, 09:51 PM

You know it Priscilla! BTW...I will be a party of 1. Just me coming.....:)

Darcy Baldwin

10-15-2009, 10:02 PM

We're shooting on being there by 11:30 or so...we might be running late depending on how many potty stops we have to make LOLOL! But we'll be there as close to it as possible! Can't wait to meet up with everyone!

(umm...would someone bother getting me basic instructions? Thanks LOL

Steph - so glad you guys are going to be having a great weekend away, too!

ccouch

10-15-2009, 10:11 PM

Add our 3 1/2 to the list. We're just getting back in town. Sorry for the delay in responding. Leslie, thanks for taking over & getting things set up for us! It may be a little closer to 12:00 when we get there, but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

Priscilla

I am so excited for this day. I think it is just awesome that I am going to meet some of you in "real" life.

And....I am going to make a stop in Pflugerville on the way in. My grandparents, 2 of my uncles and 1 of my aunts are buried there and I haven't stopped by to leave flowers and visit in about a year.

Should be a wonderful day and get me out of the house....which I desperately need!

Keely~B

10-15-2009, 10:42 PM

I hope you all have fun, I'm so bummed I'm missing out!! "Hey" from me to everyone, someone give Darcy a hug for me, and someone wash their hands for Ainsley LOL, we'll be there in thought if not presence ;)

Priscilla

10-15-2009, 10:51 PM

I live in Pflugerville

Really? did you grow up there or attend high school there Priscilla?

Priscilla

10-16-2009, 10:54 AM

Nope - we've only been here a year, before that we were in other parts of Austin.

I was born/grew up in Shiner (where they make the beer :thumbup: )

g8rbeckie

10-16-2009, 11:01 AM

I'm getting excited, too!!

All it took was "playground" and "milkshakes" and my kids were in! they rarely get treats like a milkshake and the aboslutely LOVE playgrounds...

and the weather is supposed to be perfect!! mid 70s!

And for the record - this is the ONLY thing that would pull me away from the TV on Saturday afternoons during college football season, LOL!

this will be so fun!

Darcy Baldwin

10-16-2009, 11:19 AM

HA! Then I feel honored, Beckie!! (well, you could be coming for everyone else ROFL).

Looking foward to it!

1girl1boy

10-16-2009, 11:20 AM

Becki, I will be craning my neck to watch as much of the OU-TX game as possible. LOL

I'm so excited to meet y'all! Should be fun!

neenee

10-16-2009, 09:28 PM

Yay! I am back to 2. DD #1 is going to come with me!!!!

We will have to leave by 1:30 so she can be at work by 4 but, I am just so glad that at least ONE of my 3 kids wanted to come!
