So, do we have any definites for the DC trip? Wes, Dave, Jon? Any of you guys still planning to be up there during some part of the 20th or 21st? We can start to get some plans together on places and times to meet either in DC proper or in Alexandria? (That's where we plan to stay). Is anyone needing a hotel besides John, Barbara, Me and Phil?

Johnny came by last night and we got the hotel rooms booked for DC.

We got the great rate under John's discount too!
Next step will be Barbara and I ordering the Holocaust Museum tickets and preparing a loose itinerary.

I'll have Johnny send you an e-mail with the cost breakdown. It's quite inexpensive. You'll be happy.radial wrote:Does anybody know the secret passcode to get into that spy museum? I don't see it on the map anywhere...
Hate you wont be around Jessica as we'll all be right there. Or right where you were anyway. Maybe we can plan to hit up Kings Dominion.
So how much are the rooms?

I've made some inquiries for our trip and here is some information:
I contacted the hotel and they indicated their will be no problem with us attempting to check-in early Friday morning. If our rooms are not ready at that time, we can still park and head into DC then return to check-in later in the day/evening.
I spoke with a rep at the Holocaust Museum and she indicated that their isn't any limit on the amount of tickets they issue for military, reservists, etc. and John can get up to 10 tickets on the spot so we won't have to order them ahead.
We will look into ordering our Metro passes for Friday so that we will have them when we arrive. It's no big deal to get them at the stations but it just one more thing we can have done ahead of time to simplify everything. A one-day unlimited pass is $6.50
SUGGESTION - What does everyone think of leaving Thursday night and driving a couple of hours and getting a dirt cheap hotel for the night? This would avoid us having to get up quite so early on Friday morning. I can check out the possible locations and rates we can get through John.

You guys have fun. DC is an amazing city, I could probably spend a month there and never get bored. Make sure to check out the waterfront for some top notch fresh seafood and Union Station for pretty much anything else you could crave.
EDIT: TPR is going to be at Six Flags America on that Saturday.. you guys should meet up.

We would love to meet up with TPR but we are not going to have the time on this trip. SFA just cannot be worked into the schedule with so much to see and do in DC.
