It wouldn't have to be that expensive if you carpooled with other members and then shared a room...

I am SO going!! I can't wait for more information. I'll be driving down so if there are any others in the area that are driving maybe we can hook up and go together.

...just to keep the excitement going

This is a dog lover’s town. A store owner regularly leaves doggie biscuits in this birdhouse for any passing canine. These two Westies have clearly been here before as they attentively watch their owner get them a treat.

Dogs have as much fun gossiping as their owners do at the Yappy Hour. The Old Town Holiday Inn hosts the Yappy Hour Tuesday and Thursday evenings in their courtyard from May to October (quoted from website)Attachment 232359

I am Hoping and Praying and Begging and well you get the Idea that We will be able to come. I will just have to put a Huge guilt trip on hubby for all his JEEP stuff he does

I am sure we'll work it out some how.
also If you need any help with anything . Just let me know.

I also want to say that Lisa and all the other Ladies Did a Hell of a Job with the 2008 meet up and I wish I could do more than just say thank you to them.
I was proud that I got to meet them all and the 2009 committee will have some Huge shoes to fill but I am sure they will do a FAB job

OMG.......well, you sure have my interest and my excitement!

I soooooooo badly want to be able to go; we will have to see as details get filled in. I was at the meet up this year and enjoyed it beyond words. If I am able to make it to VA, I believe I'll be bringing hubby with me and we would make it a vacation.

Keeping my fingers crossed

So the airport codes are DCA, IAD, and BWI. It looks like downtown Alexandria is 8 miles from Reagan National Airport (DCA) and 25 miles from Dulles International Airport (IAD)...

thanks Admin

I was having trouble locating!

I'm so excited!!! Those pictures are beautiful.

Admin - thanks for answering my question!
