Woot! Where will you be staying?

I'm totally game for a Sunday meet-up (all girls) - or, I might be able to swing Monday (if I take the day off) and bring Cate/Maggie. I'm willing to travel to you -- or, if you have a vehicle (I'm also on the metra line...but that might be a hassle unless you want to check out the public transportation bit), willing to host!

Can I dream that you'll fall in love with the city and want to move here...please!

Yay!!! So excited to meet you after all these years!
We could do Sunday at our house?

i think we could do sunday. jon will probably want to join (this is sort of family trip, not just us tagging along while he is completely work focused). my fear is that with him tagging along, he won't be down for much of a visit time-wise.

monday or tuesday, on the other hand, he's out of the picture and hannah and i could come out to either of you for a nice, long playdate/viist. i guess i prefer that a bit as i'll simply get more time to hang out with you, but will take whatever will work for you guys.

oh, fyi, we're staying in downtown, a homewood suites, somewhere very close to navy pier.

Hmmmmm. Let's do Monday, then. If Jon joins, then Chris will have to stick around and I will hear nothing but grumble grumble grumble. (No offense to Jon. I just know Chris won't be up for it - he is very protective of his weekends.)

Monday or Tuesday afternoon would be best for us. Getting here might be a little tricky for you (you'll have to take a train or cab - if train, I'd want to pick you up because it's a fairly long walk), but I think it'll be most fun to hang out at our house - that way we can chat and the kids can run wild.

If getting here is not something you want to deal with, we could also meet at the Chicago Children's Museum on Navy Pier. But then we'll have to be in mom mode and won't be able to talk as much.

we'll totally come to you. and i think hannah would love the train trip, if you don't mind picking us up. monday may be better as jon will still have another speaking engagement on tuesday to prepare for, so he won't mind that we're gone.

The only hiccup I would have (besides seeing if I can take the day/half day off) is getting back home to get Ellie off the bus at 4:20pm.
