goodbye_farewell Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks to those DC folks (jofalltrades+1, WizardTrip, and heyarnold13) that met up with me on the 12th! I had fun visiting the area (from Tennessee). I put a few photos I took of the area below Black & white seemed to fit the photos well... 2 Quote Link to comment

And miss Jenn, do you want to join us for hanging out/frisbee on the mall? And let me see if I have an accurate count (as I proved at the Founding Farmers meetup - I'm not so great at the counting thing) Me (jofalltrades)heyarnold13WizardTrip + GFSlatesjcsimmons2redtomato501 (maybe - pending tournament results?) Any other significant others attending and/or buddies? Also, Ryoko I think was a no? Feel free to correct me.

That's very nice of you to offer the NVA meet - thanks!

alienjenn Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 not saying that I *wouldn't* be interested I would just have to plan ahead youngest son loves the commercial caves (and the cleanness of them)... oldest son prefers wild caves (and the dirt) I have to say I agree with oldest boy... but I like both...
