M'Crack Family Invasion 2009

[Feline Groovy]

The nearest chain hotels are at the I-95 exit in Thornburg (exit 118).  I stayed at the Quality Inn there a few times last year but was less than pleased and the last few times I stayed over, instead of staying at the QI again I drove about eight miles north on I-95 and stayed at the Hampton Inn in Fredericksburg.  (I'm addicted to Hampton Inns' beds but there are a lot of other chain motels right around there.)  Happily, there's now a brand new Holiday Inn Express and Suites right behind the Quality Inn and that's likely where I'll crash at least once this year.

I am a Pet and both I and my smaller (yet somehow taller) brother will be there! But...we will have family with us both days, and small-ish children with us on Sunday...so any beer-running will be have to be done on Saturday!

[Dallan]

How old are your kids?

[Scotsman]

Kids are always welcome ... however, there does tend to be colorful language at times, I can not be responsible for when the Smithwick's takes over 

I will try to be on my best behavior which on a good day is NC-17ish.

[Suzie the Moderately Red]

they are arounf older-grade school...I think? They're cousins, so I'm not 100% sure. But they know enough not to repeat anything compromising!

[Dallan]

Suzie -

We have two boys 7 and 12 (1st and 6th grade). I'm sure they would be happy to help entertain your brothers children.

I went to take Friday off to make sure that we could make the meet and great when I realized that we have tickets to Kenny Chesney at Merriwether Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD that Friday night. So the new plan is that we are going to the concert and get up  very early to make the drive down on Saturday. We'll still be there both days I may just be a little more frazzled on Saturday morning that I had originally thought.

Now Dallan, don't spread your boys too thin.....they are going to have their hands full! Owen & Connor are looking forward to playing with "the pirates".   

M'Lord, our twins and I will be staying at the KOA in Fredericksburg Fri-Mon (we're in a camp cabin, all are welcome to stop by for refreshment if you're in the neighborhood  . We're hoping that the faire will please the young ones enough to return both days. 

Looking forward to our maiden voyage to VARF!

[Dallan]

No worries FF, Devon is yours for part of the at day Saturday at the least. Tell the twins to play with the pirates they need to come back on Sunday as Saturday is kilt day in honor of the Clan. Sunday shall be pirate day.

Staying at the Fbg KOA?   Bring LOTS of repellant.   It's rather "buggy" there.

Pixie I like the new picture. It turned out real nice. Where and when was it taken?

[~pixie~]

Thank you!  It was at MDRF in 07, I believe.

[lordwriothsley]

You are most certainly welcome my friend.

Can we stuff Dad in the trunk again? I miss aunt becky, uncle dave and cousin timmy - are we going to see them? Is aunt susan and uncle bill coming too? I miss dockside can we go saturday night? can we go to colonial beach and spend the ENTIRE day at the casino?

[Peddlin]

Got pictures of the new grandbaby (and a good one of Timmy) from Becky this morning and sent her a note, asking if they are going to be around. We miss them, too.
