So, is the Cherry Blossom Festival a good time to go or a crazy time to go?
Both. Mostly good.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cool. I will report back when I have booked tickets and make some plans.

I've been to DC at different times of the spring/summer (April, Memorial Day weekend, damn-hot August), and it's busy no matter when, it seems like.
If I could, I'd try and talk my mom into stopping there on our drive down to Florida this upcoming April, but she wants to go to Savannah instead. Ah well, at least I don't have to worry about dragging her to museums she doesn't want to go to, like I did the last time we went there together.
(But how could anyone not like the National Gallery? My mind just boggled that she didn't find it great. I've dragged her to the Met in NYC and the big Monet exhibit at the Art Institute several years ago, but she doesn't really get into it, unfortunately.)

Epic, the long range forcast has us in the 30s/40s for the next week or so, some rain, some sunshine. IOW, no promises you won't need those boots, but you may not. Walking shoes are a must - walking in DC is generally rewarding.
-t, keep us informed!

Hey Chicagoistas - the museum talk reminds me, Science and Industry is free until the end of January.

Kathy is me, and Kathy's mom, apparently is mine. I wandered through the Met, and Mom sayed in the lobby and people-watched (and napped a bit). Maybe we four need to travel together!

Okay, I'm sorta pleased with myself that my planned footwear for the trip was already "real" boots, "ugg" boots, "good" athletic shoes. I'm all practical as if I actually have a clue what I'm doing!

We could always have the F2F in DC again! In a week there, I only got in the things on my "must" list to see, and just a few of the "want" to see things. I'd love to have a reason to go back there for another week. It was a thrill to visit a particular Van Gogh every. single. day (on the must list), for example.
I know, it's in the midwest this year. Just talking out loud.

Okay, Epic's in town this weekend, I think. I've got my whip and my chair (don't get excited, ND, it's not for you ;) ) It's time to herd some cats.
I believe that the open times were drinks/dinner Friday and lunch Saturday? Or was that just me?
