I am in Dumfries VA which is near Quantico.

I wanted to invite you guys to a lunch.

I am on another Military Support board called Cinchouse and we do monthly get togethers. It is typically the 3rd Saturday of every month and it is always at a different place and area around DC.

This month is Sunday October 14th in Richmond. We do it in Richmond some times so the ladies from Norfolk/VA Beach can attend. It is at Buzz and Ned's BBQ. It is hands down the BEST BBQ around. It is southern style. I don't even like BBQ that much but I LOVE their ribs!!!!!

It is at 1:00 PM.

Here is the link to the other website and forum for you to read.

http://forum.cinchouse.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6851070231/m/7501042531

I am not sure it will work but give it a try.

If you want to go just let me know and I will give you directions.

Once again we do this every month and you are more then welcome to come and join in the fun.

Well when are we getting together girls?!?!?! Anyone want to do something this weekend? PM me if you have any ideas - we could meet at one of our apts/houses or even meet for lunch/dinner (I have this fabulous Tapas restaurant across the street from me with the BEST sangria... mmmmm). Can't wait to meet you all!!!

Awwww....I'm driving to Ct. on Sat. am. to meet our movers (just got here) So, this weekend is out for me. I'm near the courthouse area and still getting to know all the places here. Were you talking about the Tapas place past the Crate N Barrel? There's a wine store right around that area that does tastings, too. Have you been there??? I haven't but love doing that kind of stuff!

So, there are a lot of gals in this area. Anyone wanna take the reigns and start some kind of get-together's?? I'll help, but my knowledge of the area is limited. Oh, and did I mention I hate to drive here!!! I pretty much walk everywhere, so I don't drive as much and my skills and patience are weakening on the road!

Laura :cp Feeling so much better today w/ a good night's sleep!

I know it might sound cheezy, but does anyone like to bowl?? I'll be the first to say I don't do to well, but I think it's a whole lot of fun and I think it would be great way to meet everybody in a casual environment. Let em know what you think

i agree that is cheesy :lol but what a good idea!! i have been wanting to plan something but its hard you know, im a little shy sometimes and you want to pick a place to go thats a good ice breaker and everything. bowling would be a lot of fun. has anyone been to strike bethesda? it's sort of like a step up from a regular ole bowling alley. i'd be down for regular bowling too. i know a fun little place w/ duck pins in the hood too. :raise

I'm not too familiar with the area, but I'm pretty open to going somewhere that's not too far away. If nothing else, I can do a little research and see what's in the area if you want me too? Just let me know. ~Shana

Okay everyone, I think I've found the perfect place for us to go. http://www.fmmcmwr.com/bowl.htm Check out the site and let me know if you're interested in going. Send me a PM and let me know if you can make it!! I think it would be a lot of fun, and the major thing is, it's cheap!! Just let me know!!!!! Thanks!!! ~Shana:tigger

Okay, here's a better more specific question, does anyone want to go bowling this Saturday at the Fort Myer Bowling Center? It's cheap, and they've got food for fairly cheap prices as well. I need a more accurate count of everyone who is for sure going. If need be also, for those who are a little further away, if you're comfortable doing this, we could set up carpools or even set up a specific place to meet and ride up as a group. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to those as well!! Just let me know what everyone is comfortable doing!!! Thanks!!!! ~Shana

I want to plan a wine and cheese gathering! I want to have some, "get to know you games." You know, just some interaction that lets us build friendships and help support each other during deployments. My building has a few gathering rooms we can use for the occasion and I'm right in Arlington near the Courthouse & Clarendon metro. I'd like to have it at the end of January. What d'ya think??? Hope ya'll can come. :D
