Baltimore. June 9-11.
Thanks Jeff. That may even be driving distance for me!
T-365 days and counting!
Ha. Beat me to the post.
I will be there. I can probably take the train.
No travel involved, Yeah!
I am totally going to hit this one up! Yeah, back on the East Coast baby! 8)
Looks like my first NHC will be 2017
The AHA is looking at a West Coast (2015), East Coast (2016), Mid-section (2017) cadence.
Coming to flyover country, Jim?
I’d be up for that. I’ve been in every state but Hawaii, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. But my experience in the states between Massachusetts and North Carolina was not good. Way too many people. Freaks me out!
Seems to me a trip to New England would all but complete your list, saving Hawaii for last. Most of northern NE (NH, VT, ME) have their populated areas, but there are places you could go where you won’t see people for miles. Some great beer out this way too.
This weekend is the start of the annual Bike Week in Laconia, in the lakes region of NH. They’re expecting about 400,000 people during the week. I don’t ride so I tend to avoid the area…NH roads were not designed for this volume of traffic. Would that be too crowded for you?
Ugh still so early. Really screws over teachers.
The Philly conference was great. I rolled a couple extra vacation days into 4th of July and had almost 2 weeks off.
I just looked at the calendar and this falls on the night of my son’s 8th grade graduation. Unless we get 3 snow days we have to make up, I think I’m going to have to skip next year too. COME ON SNOWSTORMS!!
I can’t believe 8th grade graduation is a thing now! My son is only 24 and that wasn’t done when he finished 8th grade. I don’t remember anything before finishing High School even CALLED “graduating”. They make kid’s and therefore parents lives so busy and stressful these days. I’m glad my kid is grown up.
I went to bike week when I was 18 with my friend and his Dad. They put their boat on Lake Winnipesauke. It was crazy, 3 of us drank 4 cases of bud cans and a bottle of vodka in one day and saw tons of public sex and nudity. I imagine its tamer now?
My 6 year old had a kindergarten graduation this year. He was sick that day so we missed the festivities, but I was sure surprised when he brought the note home about it.
+1 I love rural Washington.
ROAD TRIP!
We’re in!
I think so…you don’t usually hear a lot about it on the news. But then again, what happens at bike week, stays at bike week.
I think the actual name for the 8th grade thing is “Promotion”. But it’s a big ceremony. They are going from the one building middle school to Pinkerton Academy (private school but our town’s high school) which looks like a college campus.
Kindergarten graduations aren’t that bad. It is a move up from one lifestyle to another.
Well, in the county I live in there are an average of 10 people per square mile, and thats really pushing it for me.
Baltimore is about 7,700 per square mile. Nnnnnnnn no thanks.
Agreed. It is tough to get those days off when prepping for exams and proctoring them are rolling on.
