May Meet Up Final Details

DC area folks! I've got finalized details!

First, for those who haven't already read the general plan, I will copy it below (originally in this post). For those who didn't see my last comment on that post, I had totally spaced out when I came up with the time and forgot that I have a Water Babies class with the Pookie from 10:30 to 11:00!

Not to fear, I have come up with a plan and coordinated it with the Be with me Children's Playseum! Here are the updated details (for links, please go to the previous post, since I don't have time to re-link everything):

Who's Invited: Anyone in the DC area who is interested (bloggers, commenters, Ask Moxie readers and silent lurkers), spouses* and kids
-Day: Saturday, May 8
-Times: 10:30 and 12:30
-Place: Be with Me Children's Playseum in Bethesda
-Cost: $5 per person, any age
-Other Info: Be sure to read the Safety Policies, Playseum Manners, Sickness Policies and Food Allergy Awareness pages! This place isn't like the At Play Cafe we previously went to in that they ask you to be within arms' reach of you child at all times.

Additional Details:
-Two Meet-Up Times: Because I can't get there at 10:30, there will be a second meet-up time at 12:30 for anyone who wants/needs to come later. Hopefully, this will also give flexibility for people whose children take naps.
-Place to Meet: I have contacted the Playseum, and they said that there is a Family Room at the end of the hall with instruments and couches in it. I asked for them to put up a sign over one of the couches, and they said they would also put a sign inside the front door to direct people there.
-The Sign to Look For: It will say DC Area Meet Up! We're an actual group now, peeps!
-About Lunch: There are tables there for food and snacks, but they don't serve food there. Please bring a lunch if you plan to be there during your kids lunch times. If you don't bring anything, there are lots of restaurants right near the place. They will stamp your hand if you leave so you don't have to pay to get back in.

Am I missing anything?

I'm so excited to see everyone, and to try this place out! I'm thinking we'll go low-key and free in June, but I've just heard such great things about this place that I wanted to try it!

*I wanted to be sure everyone saw that spouses are invited, because this place does ask you to be right near your children, which can be hard to do when you have more than one and you are by yourself. Though don't forget, there will be a group of us hopefully all watching out for each others' kids!
