Hell, Matt, you can't even drink the water (really).
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
The closest I can think of are the Delaware beaches (Rehoboth, Bethany, Dewey, etc), about 4 hours away by car.
Being serious, there are the Delaware beaches and, I think, some on the Maryland coast and the Eastern Shore (eastern coast of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay), but nothing within an hour or so of driving.
Is there swimming on the Eastern shore? I know there's boating, but I can't think of any beaches.
I vote for a group swim in the reflecting pool after the trip to the top of the Washington Monument. Who's with me??
Are more of the LAistas coming? I know the Miracleborns, Sean, and Lee are coming. Kat, Lori, Burrell & spouse? Franny? ita? Who am I forgetting?
I'd be up for it if the Reflecting Pool weren't unfathomably disgusting. It's the kind of water that makes you remember DC was built on swampland.
Awww....But Jenny ran through it in Forrest Gump!! It *HAS* to be okay!
I wouldn't swim in it (though I used to let my dog) but you can rent canoes or kayaks and go boating on the Canal.
There are also several boathouses on the Potomac. And the Inner Harbor (in Bal'mer) has rentable paddleboats.
If people are interested in watching me keel over from bad crew practice flashbacks, we could also plan a trip to the Exorcist steps.
