Hello all my lovely MD-DC-VA area friends

I must pick your brains. Not eat them. Just pick at them.

Since I/we keep forgetting to mention it more than in passing, my whole brood will be up there the second week of June.

We will be leaving as soon as finishes work on the 9th (Wednesday) and I am really hoping to push through and be there by Thursday night, even if Thursday night means midnight or later. He is planning to see if he can work while we are there, but I will let him tell about those details and figure them out. I am hoping he is just looking into one day, as I have lots of touristy things I’d like to do. I am hoping we can do some of them on Friday (the 11). He’d probably be working Saturday (the 12th) and I have no clue what I’d be doing. Probably shmy around w/ my parents or something in Baltimore (unless they pick that day as a museum day, and I will go there). Sunday (the 13th) is my sisters unveiling. Not sure of the time, but it’s in Finksburg, and then a brunch at my aunt & uncles in Reisterstown. You are all invited of course. The unveiling will be about 10 minutes unless the Rabbi goes on and on. Who knows. The brunch will be a few hours. We obviously have to put in face time, especially since couldn’t make the funeral itself. (Yes, we already put in for this time off. If he hadn’t, he probably would not have gotten it!) We will be leaving sometime Monday the 14th to come back home. He has to be at work at one on Wednesday the 16th. The drive home always takes longer *shakes head*

Anyway, we need to look for a hotel. Cheap. Any suggestions? I know there is that red roof in out by , it wasn’t too terribly priced. I know of a few in Baltimore (Pikesville) but since it sounds like we will be spending a good deal of time in the DC area, I don’t want to add such a drive so often.

I might hit my aunt & uncle up, but again, they are in Pikesville.

It is (tentatively) 3 nights we’d need to sleep, I think. No, 4 if we can make it up there by Thursday night. So Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I don?t know the area that well, so I didn’t want to do a blind search for one.
