I am so glad that Active Rain actively encourages us to get together in person - quite regularly! When you spend so much time engaging with people online, you develop friendships and it is SO fun to meet in person.
Today was a great group with Cindy Jones hosting - Tamara Inzunza, Deanna Early and husband John Smith (who drove all the way from Smith Mountain Lake), Susan Haughton, Chris Ann Cleland, Norma Skeete, Markita Aldridge-Wood, Peggy and Patty James. I met Deanna, John, Norma, Markita and the James sisters for the first time!
I really enjoyed seeing the fabulous town center where Firebirds is located. I don't make it to Woodbridge often, and have to say it's a great place to get some shopping done, might have to go back down there for Christmas presents - not nearly as crowded as Clarendon or Tysons Corner and all the major retailers are there (shhh, don't tell anyone or it might get crowded). There's a Wegmans too, and of course that's where I grabbed my toys for the Toys for Tots drive that was part of the meet up.
The only problem with these lunches is when they end - two hours is just not enough time to spend with these wonderful people.
