Sounds like a GREAT IDEA, Julie!
But, first, let's see if I got my SUPERSONIC PRIVATE Jet fueled up!
then, gotta take the MIL to the nursing home for a spell (don't want her to eat everything in the house, including the cockatiel, while we're gone!!), and, let's see, what else.....Oh, the wife has gotta make her (deleted in case you're stomach is still weak!) type dish to bring along!!
Considering, you're in Washington, it's not like flying out to New York!! We gotta head east to go west!!
And, actually getting together with other CF'rs would be nostalgic of the days when I was at CF camp as a Senior Camper, and we had occasional get-togethers in the off-season (when cross contact was not a problem!), got to see some of the girls I liked from camp (and not JUST the female Camp Counselors!)v
