National Airport is a just a couple miles from Alexandria - Dulles International Airport is 20+ miles away. Driving along the Potomac River on the George Washington Parkway is scenic and not as nerve wracking as coming around 495. Can't take dogs on Metro (subway). Alexandria is very dog friendly. It should be fun. There is a party cruiser that docks at Alexandria that I've seen take evening dinner cruises along the Potomac River. |

I'm new here..... what kind of events/activites are planned for the MeetUp? Is it just a weekend? My family and I were thinking of going to Washington D.C. next year anyway, so maybe I could plan a little side-trip for Mommy and Tobey:p WooHoo! |

6-7 weeks ago we had our 1st meetup in Kansas City. We had a great time in a park, we had 2 different speakers in, numerous vendors with dog items, 2 breakfasts together, a lunch and a dinner - the highlight was a pj party for the dogs! We had lots of fun with games and raffles over the weekend and lots of picture taking I'm excited to see what great plans the committee has for next year! |
I didn't read every post, so this may have been mentioned already. The Hotel Monaco (formally the Holiday Inn) is in Old Town Alexandria and is very pet friendly. They even have a doggie happy hour every Tuesday and Thursday night - it's wonderful and a lot of fun! Always a bunch of Yorkies there! The rooms have a special dog bed and dishes. It's right in the heart of old town and would allow people to walk most everywhere (restaurants, shopping, waterfront) - it's also near a metro stop. If you flew into National, you wouldn't even need to rent a car. |
Forgot to mention...I've taken Cayo on the metro and the metro busses several times with no problems - as long as she's in her carrier and it's zipped up, I haven't had a problem. It's not officially "allowed", but if your pup is quiet I don't think anyone will say anything to you. |
Thought this was neat. :) Ok guys, so how neat is this.........

Hey, was this the menu for the Irish Pub? We just ate there and it sounds like the same menu. We ordered the chicken for Pia but she was more interested in my food. :p |
