It's official. I'll be vacationing at the Jersey shore - approximately Spring Lake Heights (near South Belmar) - from roughly July 19 through July 23 with the weekends on either side spent in Summit - or nearby.
If anyone in the area would like to meet, spend a little beach time, enjoy a few drinks and a BBQ, please let me know.
Rumor has it that there might be an appearance or two by my very own partner-in-crime, Lori ;D
Unfortunately Kaybo will be in Texas :'( but 2/3 of the JKL Trio should prove very interesting :D

Annamaria (just joined forum -- see my first post a couple of days back) would possibly be interested in meeting -- can you email me some details/opportunities? Thanks
(personal email addressed removed... please "PM" - Private Mail any details/opportunities here on this site! Thanks! Phyl)

Have a GREAT time, Jan. My family and I will be in Gettysburg PA and Washington DC during that time frame but won't reach the Jersey shore.
Sara

Yay!!! Enjoy....wishing I was on vaca. We've decided to have some well needed remodeling done so no vaca this summer. I miss Indian Lake (best camping in the Adirondacks...hmph).
Have fun, totally jealous as Phyl already expressed....

I am jealous too but glad y'all will get to hang out!
Phyl- so great to hear from you - I've been wondering about you - hope you are doing well.
No plans for any real vacation this summer. Still trying to realize that I'm in Houston now for good & not just visiting Grandma!! I am going with the girlies & a lot of our family (Dave's) to church camp outside San Antonio - I guess I'll be a counselor & then we will stop for the weekend at the Hyatt Hill Country on the way back. Dave & I missed out on that last year since we were meeting all you guys in Chicago! He will work while we are all at camp & then meet us for the weekend! It's really nice there & should be extra great after a week at camp!
Have fun without me & try not to get into too much trouble - I can't come bail you out of jail!!
K ;D

doing fine hon! :-* New job wiping me out but I'm here more than you know! ;) Hugglez to all! Jan.... another 1 word.... SUNSCREEN! :) Phyl

I think you guys - except for annamaria - are missing my point here ::)
I'm not looking to make anyone jealous or to brag. I'm looking to meet up with any of my fellow Forumites who might be in the area - or might want to travel to the area.
Annamaria -
I'll respond to your PM when I know a few more specifics.
Kaybo -
thanks for the offer of bail :D

sunscreen is all taken care of. My brother, who will be vacationing with us, works for Schering-Plough in Summit, NJ (or are they Merck, now??) makers of Coppertone. He has a huge stock of sunscreen that he's just dying to bully me into wearing. I'm horrible about applying it - even though I have the type of skin that burns to a crisp :P Thankfully my children got their father's complexion and have both been sporting beautiful tans since early June.

Jan,
As an actual resident (though not a native) of the Jersey Shore I would love to meet up with you while you're on vacation in my fair state! But I'm going to be visiting my mother in Nashville during the dates you'll be here, so will have to take a rain-check and hope to meet you on your next visit. Spring Lake is lovely and I know you'll have a great time. Be sure to eat lots of our good produce -- tomatoes and corn, among other wonderful fruits and vegetables, should bejust about perfect while you're here -- New Jersey is truly the "Garden State."

Hi Jan!
So glad you are taking a break and going on vacation!
You will have fun visiting with your family, too - nice! :)
Having been raised just north of Philadelphia, I spent some time at the Jersey Shore - lots of great memories!
It rained in the Northern Shenandoah Valley last night and this morning - a welcome relief from the extended heat wave here on the East Coast.
But next week, it will hot again and sunny.
I hope you get to meet some Forumites - that will be fun!
Enjoy!
Sue

I've got my beach bag packed and I'm ready to go. I might have to hit up your brother for some sunscreen - I spend a fortune on that stuff every year!
Since I keep my beach chairs and the sand toys and boogie boards in the car at all times, that's all ready to go too! I hope some others will be able to join us too - I know it will be a fun time.
Jan, maybe Phyl can use the Mod jet to go pick up Kay.... ;)
Catherine, I always come home with a car full of tomatoes (best in the world) and corn! My brother-in-law is a farmer - they grow herbs and specialty stuff, so I'll have plenty of that too. The car smells pretty good by the time I get back to VA! If anyone wants any of that kind of thing, let me know and I'll pick it up on my way to Jan's Beach Bash!

Jan ~
I'm not jealous because, although I've never been to the Jersey shore I don't have any plans to do so (lots of nice beaches near us) but I sure hope you, your kids and family have a great time there! If you can meet up with a few of our members, all the better. I hope the weather cooperates with you that week. The long-range forecast looks good (sunny & hot - beach weather!) :)

Just thinking out loud for you three .....
Jan meets Lori in Jersey ..... OK.
Or even vice-versey ..... OK.

Without "partner-in-crime" ....
They both want to cry out ..... OH KAY!

Y'all have a real nice time away, getting a good dose of vitamin D.

I love it Steve!! Thanks for including me!! They will say "OH KAY!" since I am the only that keeps them 1/2 way grounded!! ;)
K ;D

Kay, I think you mean Greg, not me.
I'm pretty sure Sara just mentioned me to see if I am still around. ;)

Steve -
where HAVE you been??? After the Jersey vacation, I'll be going to Seattle for business and was going to offer to come to Portland and buy you a drink or dinner. Then I realized just how far it is from Seattle to Portland :P Yes, I AM geographically challenged ::) But if you want to come to Seattle, I'm still buying.
Very nice poem, Grega :D
Kaybo, you are SO right. Lori & I won't be grounded at all without you. We'll just have to start planning that roadtrip to Texas!!!
Catherine - it's just my luck that you won't be in town. Bummer!! :( I'm still hoping to get to the ANA Symposium in Boston next June, hopefully you'll get there too and we can meet then.
To everyone else, thanks for the well wishes.
Jan

Boston?? Did they change the Symposium to Boston????????
K ???

Boston?? Did they change the Symposium to Boston????????
OMG! Guess I shouldn't post when I should be headed to bed.
The symposium is in Ohio in 2011, isn't it?? Guess Boston was just wishful thinking on my part.
Good catch, Kaybo ;D

Steve, a request for my "gotcha day" next week ........ please post link to the thread w/ your AN version of The Night Before Christmas .... sounds like fun!
It'll be like Christmas in July ::)
Thanks!

Well my vacation is almost over - flying home on Sunday - but had a great time at the shore.
I got to meet Anna Maria and her husband Dan for dinner yesterday evening in Red Bank and I also got to meet Wendy and one of her daughters at the beach in Sea Girt today.
Unfortunately Lori was unable to make it because her girls are a little under the weather. It would have been nice for us both to meet Wendy - since she was the very first recipient of our Official BAHA Recovery Kit.
I guess that Lori and I will just have to plan a girls' weekend in Texas with Kaybo once that nice, new house is done being built ;D
Wendy and I took a few pictures - in our bathing suits :o with "beach hair" and if they won't look too bad one of us will post one.
I was hoping to meet Debbi tomorrow, but I don't think time will allow.
I'm heading to Seattle on business the first week in August, so if anyone lives in the area and wants to meet for dinner, lunch, or just a drink, please PM me.
Jan
-
Glad you guys had fun - without me... :(
Sorry we couldn't make it up there this time. We're still working on getting rid of whatever ailment we've all got. I guess it's just a cold, but we've all been feeling pretty yucky all week. Jan, I guess you'll just have to come back next summer. Or maybe come to Virginia Beach!
Hope you had a great time and I'm glad you got to meet up with some of the "others". Have a safe trip back!
Lori
-
Jan,
Sounds like a great vacation!
Liz
-
You know I am all for a girls trip to Texas - come one, come all!!
K ;D
-
Well, when I met Patrick and his wife today they told me that November in Texas is very nice.
Thanksgiving at your house this year, Kaybo?? ;D
Jan
-
Sounds good to me! Make extra pie! :D I'll bring the straws and napkins.
Lori
-
I'm in!!
K ;D
-
Good to know, since we'll be at your house! ;D
Lori

Is this thread still going? Great! Keep summer going!
You three kids' last posts conjure up .....
Give thanks to the trio “JKLâ€â€¦ :)
together, ideas sorta jel. :o
To pirates, they’re hearty … ;)
With abandon they party … 8)
To this forum, they’re known as “SWELLâ€! ;D
(scheeeesch!)
Keep ;D-ing !
-
I love this one too, Greg! Come on down to Kay's with us - I'll save you a piece of pie.
Lori
-
Yes, Greg, definitely come to Kay's for Thanksgiving.
Kay, are the kids invited? or should I leave them with my parents?
Two teenagers (usually with attitudes) aren't always invited to many places ;) :D
Jan
-
Kids are always welcome at our house. Anyone is welcome. Heck, we had 4 for Christmas dinner last year that I had never met (nor had anyone in our family!)!!
Greg~ love the poem!
K ;D
