Sounds great wegrowsheep! I love heading that way! The first time we went to Seattle we drove!
ETA ROAD TRIP!! I could meet up with and pick up @poppyc8, sugarkissed, Bluedaisy, mbjune13, and heartofglass along the way. You eastern Canadians would have to decide if you're meeting me here haha. ETA 2 and @akwild sorry I have you all in my head and forgot to type you all down. So many westerners! Done. I've got this covered guys don't worry.
Haha sounds great Joolschweets!! Well I don't actually know where you live in the province, but I mapped it out once and we are closer to the PNW than Toronto. Seattle being about a 13ish hour drive. Not too far

I think I'm about 7 hours drive from Seattle/Vancouver. We are in the west kootenay area.
See, the trouble with Canada is that it's so vast. H's first choice would be the Rockies, but mine would be the maritime provinces in the east because I am a huge LM Montgomery fan. (Seriously. I even have her published diaries.) There's quite a lot of Canada in between... My dad was born in southern New Brunswick and I now have family in Calgary. And there's Joolschweets, tiffbot, Bluedaisy, @poppyc8, sugarkissed, @mbjune and anyone I've accidentally omitted.

We've been unpacking all day since it quit raining. I like unpacking much better than packing. A is obsessed with all my moms dogs and just keeps grunting hoho.
Kristykristyleelee I'm so down for a Philly GTG. I'm so glad you're going to put one together!
erbear I know how summer can be for teachers' budgets so I'll be that creepy internet friend who's all "stay with me, I promise I'm not a psycho"....but seriously 😉
holliberry28 and @jemomma yeah my H is def gonna find this weird too. You guys need to invent some kind of "work trip" that brings you to the Philly area...you should prob decide that your life's calling is selling Jamberry or Thirty-One or whichever company has an Aug convention around here!
I'd totally be in for a western Canada gtg. I'd love to go somewhere...I would love to go back to Scottland but don't think the wallet could handle that one.
Philly is only 2 1/2 hrs from me while Pittsburgh is 3 1/2 hrs. So we can just say I'm central for the Md/Pa/VA gtg, right? You can all come to my boring area.
Yeah, we did the lead/iron levels test at 9 months and I went to a pediatric specialty place since it was an actual blood draw. LO didn't even flinch with that!
I wish I could convince my H to let me go to Philly for a weekend, but, money.
Good, I'm hoping my LO doesn't flinch either! DS1 did great. I was nervous to do it but our pedi says blood draws are usually easier on them than the finger pricks.
Make sure you get him to drink a ton before you go. We had a blood draw attempt early in the morning, and DS doesn't really eat/drink a lot until he's been awake for an hour or two. They couldn't find a good vein, and when they finally found a spot to stick him, the blood didn't really flow well. Holding him down through that was AWFUL. Attempt #2 is at his 15 month appt, and I will be pushing milk and water HARD that day. I hope your experience is vastly different!
The only thing is I would really love to meet everyone's June toddlers!! Ideally I would love a daytime meet everyone's little ones get together then a nighttime going out without kids meet up. In my dreams...
I would love to meet everyone else's babies...I just want to leave mine at home lol
Yup. If I'm flying to the US for a GTG, the kids are not coming. #sorrynotsorry
