• Let’s have some fun and hang out!! This is time to hang out as one whole group, or in smaller groups. Whatever you want….with other SHARE members. Schedule will be stress free.
• We'll travel in a few vehicles total, departing from northern VA at my house.
• SHARE members are welcome to travel from farther away, meet up in DC, and make a vacation out of it, staying in DC or elsewhere for extra days. This has happened often!! Yes, those of you SHARE members around the world, I'm talking to you.
• FYI, we went to this same place twice before, last in October 2022. It's a great location, wonderful firepit etc, with lots of stuff around.
• Eating out or cooking in the house. Hiking a nearby trail, or not. Strolling around the large property at sunrise or sunset. Coffee in the morning (and more later, haha). Going on a hike during the day. Sitting by the firepit at night, chatting and listening to music (my favorite, unless it rains 😊)
• We'll literally walk across the country road to the winery ( https://www.kindredpointe.com/ ), or hike in Shenandoah National Park, go to Route 11 potato chip factory, or WHATEVER the group wants. We're totally flexible. Firepit hang out with music is the default every night. Watch the stars with no urban light...gorgeous :)
• Home was built in 1800s. It’s on a 10 acre property and is well maintained. I talked with the owner who grew up in this house…great guy. As I said, we've been here twice before.
• All activities are TBD…but no need to be busy….let’s just hang out and do whatever active or chilling stuff you want.
