The Shrinkin' Violets are planning a meet and we cordially invite you to attend!

For those who will be flying in to the Washington, DC, area... you have 3 choices for airports: BWI (outside Baltimore), Dulles (in Virginia), and Reagan National (in DC). I've listed these in order from best to worst... so try to get into BWI! You'll want your flight to ARRIVE on FRI, MAY 16, in the MORNING (by 11am - Noon)! You'll want your flight to DEPART on MON., MAY 19, in the EVENING (after 6pm). Why? Because it's about 1 hour from the airport to my house (our staging area)... then approx. 3 hours to the Lake. Please try to coordinate flights, so efficient pick-up, drop off can be organized!

If anyone wants to fly in on Thurs., May 15 or out Tues., May 20, I'll be happy to pick you up @ the airport AND you may stay here at my home.

Questions? PM me or post them here.

Again -- EVERYONE IS INVITED! The more the merrier!

Feel free to cast your votes any time... 2 of us have already voted!... Just PM me & let me know either

#1: "Splash" = Deep Creek

#2: $250

#3: Tunica (as it seems to have a late-entrant surge going on).

Whatever is decided on, I will be there.

Then you need to VOTE, Tracy!

Just meeting the violets would make any trip worthwhile, flying or not flying, so that is my vote.

Since Jenn can't fly we need to think about Ms. Jen's deals AROUND Jenn's neck of the woods. I wouldn't mind a resort thingy near Jen...or something of the like. Not a big casino person, and I work way tooo hard for my money to gamble...but I will go anywhere. You all can gamble and I'll shop!

Pam

about an hour from me there in an indoor waterpark, part of sixflaggs which from what i understand has rooms that accommidate anywhere from a family of 4 to 12 I think. Outlets 5 mins away and a small casino 20 mins from there.

But I'm very happy driving to Splash Mt too, I like the relaxing thing too.

There could be a resort in Md Beach area that might be quicker to get to from an airport? Or a Resort in/by VA Beach where you all can fly into Norfolk VA? I'm on overload I think... Just want a weekend with my gals

I just checked into the Mogegan Sun like Jen said in an earlier post and it is sold out for Friday th 16 and Saturday the 17, plus it is WAY WAY expensive for Sunday!!

Jane

Jane,

I didn't check prices, just was thinking of ideas earlier

Saratoga Gaming & Raceway

Suites at The Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark

Was a good idea Jen, they must have something going on that weekend!! It looks neat and really offers a lot of different things!!

RATES for The Quarters At Lake George Vacation Rentals

The Quarters At Lake George Rates

just fooling around looking at thing that are affordable and relaxing, and fun, and has shopping.

I just posted a resort I found on Lake George which is 20 mins away from the casino and outlet malls. Downtown Saratoga has lots of nice outside type shops and night life. My step brother owns a limo company so a night out with not having to drive would be an option too/

Oh and Judy could drop dh off at Gettysburgh on her way

Michelle-are people still giving you their votes on what they wanna do? Ugh...I loathe indecisiveness (sp?)

I have decided to go on the trip. So let me know when and where!! I sent my vote to Michelle!!
