I may be up for it depending on when. I see you're in SC...we're moving there in June.

That's where our families are, so we're excited about being close to home. It will be the first time that we've been so close to home since my husband has been active in the Army.

I'm in Florida too but I'm willing to go up to Georgia. I would need to meet on a weekend as I work full time during the week.
We probably have enough Florida girlies to do a Florida meet up in the Fall as well.

I'm a little closer to midwestern than southern. If it were Georgia, I might be able to make it depending on where in Georgia. Atlanta, for instance, is 6 hours from me and I could do that. I don't think I could do more than 8 hours though

I know for me, Atlanta is 4.5 hrs, so it might be a bit far for the FL girls.

Oooh! YES! Atlanta is definitely perfect for me, since I'm only like 40 minutes away! And, I'm sure I could let a couple people stay in our 2 spare bedrooms too!

What a steal! I can't get a hotel for six bucks! (I'll bring one for Alan too, since I'm a hot water hog.) Just kidding. About the shower, not the cupcake

I may be able to make late summer work. We're moving in June, so that month is out. I would love the break from unpacking, though!!

As long as it's not the same date as the Midwest Meetup, I'm good. Since I'm an SSDhoooer and all.

I think we're all envious of you being the SSDhoooer! I'd love to have more meetups.

LOL!

I've been lucky enough to meet three SSDers already

My sister, who is the awesomest of awesome.

My Deb, who is also awesome.

And Kim G, (sprauncey1) who actually came to visit me when I had Parker in the hospital and we had a few playdates before that

Atlanta sounds good. July is probably the best time for me, but I can try to work other times out.

Macon isnt...err, wasn't that far from where we used to live.

Depending on when you do this, I might talk DH into letting the girls and I come down since I owe my friends at Benning a visit and could stop in on my aunt in Atlanta, since I already miss them so much! (we've only been gone about two months)

Well July would probably work best since school starts in August here. I know the beginning of the month would not work, so maybe the middle or end of July. I would have room for 4 people in my hotel on wheels. LOL!
