I sent you a private message thingy but you warned me your box was probably filled. I will try to connect with the email address you gave me but right now I am sick and sore from some oral surgery this morning

I am leaving tomorrow for a business trip to LA for a week but have some really good suggestions about "what not to miss" during your few days in DC - including MEETING WITH ME, AND MAYBE EMILY-THE-SPOILED!! We both work in DC and live nearby. How old are your children? I love my city and hope you will leave feeling the same

By the way, the ferry boat to South NJ really won't work from Baltimore, but there are alternatives. Not to worry

Laurie, it looks like I will catch up with you next week when you come back from your trip.
I answered your questions in the DC thread that I started.
I found the website for the Ferry Boat and it is pretty expensive and looks like it takes about 1 hr and 20 minutes.
It says you also have to make a reservation at least a day in advance.
We are still deciding which route to take over to southern NJ so if you have any helpful advice on that I would like to hear it.
I hope you are feeling better and that your trip to LA went well.

I live about 4 hours and 15 minutes away, but would LOVE to meet new people. Let me know when the event is to take place, and I'll see if I can get the time off at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Hello. I will be in Cape May from July 8th-15th (Saturday to Saturday). It will just be Jonah and I, no Lillycat.

I would be interested in a Sunday July 9th gathering, if anyone is interested!!

Can we plan something on Sunday, July 9th? I will have a kitchen, bathroom, everything we could need! I know Sunday works best for JenL, and I am only there one week, so, this is kind of THE day to do it. I would REALLY like to meet some of you that I would never have a chance otherwise to meet. And, so would Jonah, I am sure..if he could talk and tell me.

July 9 sounds good to me. I'll probably look for a cheap-o motel in Lewis DE and take the CapeMay-Lewis ferry over on Sunday. Driving to and from DC to the beach on any given summer weekend is a zoo so I'll probably take Monday 10th off work and stay over Sunday night.

I see no reason July 9th wouldn't be PURR-fect!

As stated, I work Saturday and the rest of the world would work Monday (my other day off.......LOL)

The drive is about 4 hours (We are kinda slow pokes) and I haven't driven that far in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, but could spend a few good hours down there. Realistically I could not arrive in NJ before 11 am and would most likely want to start home by 3 pm But there would be no way to stay overnight so this will have to do.

Maybe Catnapper will come with us instead of in seperate vehicles. (she'd probably get us there in 3 hours
