Talk about this trip (9)
wow. that's a lot. but i'm game.
Report Abuse
this is cool ive never set up something like this before a trip planner. hey maybe we can go to hershey penn??
Report Abuse
So I took out the zoo and the repeat of Union station. What are your thoughts of the rest of the attractions?
Report Abuse
Wow you added a ton.

im wondering if herhsey could be a whole other trip for another time. another road trip right!! yeah!!! cause i think it would be fun to go to the amusement park too. that like $50. just a thought. i know i mentioned it to begin with but it seems like there a ton to do there.

what you guys think? should we stick to educational?? i really like the idea of arlington cementary and gettsyburg would be cool to.

i haave the books we can review.

I also have a $30 gift card from sams for gas i will be contribting for our trip. it was suppose to be for TC but my aunt didnt see me before we left. i got it for my bday. been saaving it for something special.

I think after the new year we should sit down with the books and whatever other information we have/find and talk it through. I like the educational stuff, but we are adults and would like the fun things too.

i notice the white house tour and white house garden tour are on different days....can we not do them the same day? wouldn't that make more sense? just curious if timing prohibits that.
Report Abuse
White house garden tour is only available on weekend I asked Christie.

Also I saw you mentioned something about fun stuff and I thought this was fun stuff?? I thought the idea was to see the cool tourist attractions. I know Christie was thinking the same thing. There are certain things u just cant miss when you go to D.C. Did you see something you liked for D.C. not mentioned? What did you have in mind? Feel free to add to the planner I know Christie was looking for input.

i was referring to like going to a bar or club. :) hehe

Christie posted a few bars already. You gotta look under the entertainment tab.
