Last minute GTG - Kimball Farm this Saturday, June 15th!

[Lilac]

fuddyduddy and I were just chatting -- we're heading to Kimball Farm in Westford, MA for lunch (BBQ menu!) and ice cream this Saturday. Who wants to take part in our last minute GTG?? We'll be getting there at 1pm and hanging out for the afternoon. Weather forecast is looking great for this weekend. Who's in??

Ok, you can't claim Kimball Farm isn't kid friendly! They even have a petting zoo

[drloretta]

Ah, but you must factor in travel time and nap schedules...

Extensive travel = nap time! done and done!

[drloretta]

You crack me up!

[preppy]

Oooh this looks close by to where I live. We are leaving for RI around 3:30ish but I should have time for lunch first! Count me in.

[countthestars]

ok! maybe me!! i'll keep you updated whether i can join but i really hope so (and it's pretty close to me!)

[noodleoo]

Oh, I WANT TO GO!!! But I can't. We're filming a wedding all day Saturday. Next time???

[rikki]

Which one? I'm looking online and it seems there are 5 locations!

[liveintheville]

I'd love to, but we have a birthday party that day.

[magdala]

Sorry that I cannot join. I am at a baby shower in RI

[rikki]

I am an idiot. Just read the OP and saw the location. I might come. I'll keep you updated!!!

Jealous!  Have a great time!  Are you spending the whole trip there or going elsewhere?  I don't think you've said much about the trip.

Thanks! We're kind of going all over.

Days 1 & 2: Edinburgh
Day 3: Oban (Scottish Highlands)
Day 4: Loch Ness/Inverness (Scottish Highlands)
Days 5-8: London, with a day trip up to Watford to go to the Harry Potter Studios

We're renting a car in Scotland so we'll be seeing a lot of the countryside (which is what I enjoyed most about our last trip to Ireland).

Awesome! We did a trip to London last fall and went to the Harry Potter Studios too. It was really cool if you are a big HP fan! It took a LONG time to go through! So much stuff to see. I got the audio tour, which made it even longer to go through. It was great, but we were *exhausted* at the end! Have a great trip!

[fuddyduddy]

countthestars: I hope you can make it. I would love to meet you!

preppy and rikki: I hope both of you can make it! I look forward to seeing you again.

scm1011: Have fun in Scotland! I am so jealous. 

Everyone else: You will be missed!

[elfinia7]

I wish! I will be in Minneapolis for a housing conference til Wednesday. Have fun!

[bostonmichelle]

I have my sister's graduation party that day or else I would totally come out.

[Lilac]

I'm glad we have a few folks joining us this weekend! I just looked at Kimball Farm's website and they have a whole seafood menu now! I haven't been in a few years, but it used to be just a few BBQ/grill items. I wonder how crazy that place is now on busy weekends

We live in town, and would love to join you guys, but I'm not sure what our plans are for Saturday. Put us down as a "Maybe!"

Have a fabulous trip!
We had a work outing at Kimball Farms a couple of years ago; it was really fun. Enjoy everyone!

[Lilac]

Hey folks! I hope everyone who expressed interest is able to join us today. It's beautiful out!

fuddyduddy, Awkward and I are carpooling to Kimball's from NH and will be arriving by 1pm (likely slightly earlier). Who else is in? preppy, countthestars, rikki, mswax??

I'm not sure of the current layout of Kimball's. Its been a few years since my last visit. Let's meet by the BBQ area and we'll try to grab a picnic table. I can PM you my phone number if you contact me within the next hour. If you can't find us when you get there call or send fuddyduddy a PM -- she can check GBCN from her phone. I still have an old school flip phone without a data plan, so don't bother trying to PM me after 11:30am

[rikki]

WIsh I could be there but it seems like I will need to stay home as I am knee-deep in cleaning and putting together the baby's bedroom furniture and decor. It looks like so much fun. Have a great time!

[drloretta]

SCM, have fun in Scotland, I so adored my trip there.

We're sticking close to home so as not to inflict my unusually cranky/whiney toddler on people today. The farmers market was a disaster. Leave it to my child to reject the free balloon animal because it wasn't the animal she had in mind...

[countthestars]

I'm coming Lilac!! I'll pm you my cell but ill be the giant pregnant woman in a blue tee shirt and black leggings - hard to miss!

[mswax]

Between swim lessons and strawberry picking, we were done by 11am. Sorry to miss you ladies! Hope you enjoy the ice cream!
