Bay Area TE Gathering?

[jobob]

You don't have to leave DH behind. Thom gets dragged to every TE thing I go to. He's generally well behaved and seems well liked by the other TE'ers.

The Bobs (jobob and her DH LeeBob) will be present & correct. Especially if there's a bakery involved.

Oh! Count me in! I'd love to come join ya'll. And I promise to show up. Not like my reputation with the other cyclists around here. :\

Can we set a date? Memorial day is probably good. That would give 3 days for various riding options.

Great idea Veronica! Count me in.

Memorial Day Weekend it is.

Memorial Day 2012 - Check. Should be able to make it!

DH and I will definitely look into how feasible a trip to San Fran is when we can get a better idea of airfare for late May. My guess is that we'd make it a weeklong trip with Memorial Day weekend sort of in the middle. I'll certainly keep you posted as to what we decide. In the meantime, if anybody has a decent hotel recommendation, let me know. We'd love to stay in the city someplace that's nice but not necessarily posh. Thanks!

In the city - Villa Florence. Right in Union Square and generally very good rates.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like a lovely place. Plus, it offers a government rate, which I love. I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I'm going to pitch a trip from Thursday, May 24th to Thursday, June 1st to the hubby. His birthday is on the 26th, so it would be great to spend it in a beautiful city. It's likely going to come down to timing and cost. Our other big trip for 2012 is to Maine for 10 or so days in September. That's likely be a relatively "cheap" trip as trips go, but he gets less time off than I do, so we'll need to factor that in as well.

I sure hope it works out! When we thought our trip to Zion National Park was falling apart because of a possible governement shutdown, I started to put a trip to San Francisco together as a Plan B. As excited as we were about Utah, I think we were a tad disappointed that we weren't going to go to California. So, it's definitely near the top of our To Do list.

Excellent!
