Mike and Connie will be next! please sign us up.. We arrived Cherry Hill Park last week and will be here next month.
WOW, it's sure is a nice park with lots to do. If you plan to take the tours or subway to into DC there is a tourist information briefing next to the pool at 4:00 PM, it was really helpfull to us. We are from Georgia but have been on the West Coast the last few years and look forward in meeting everyone.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you think the traffic will be on 270 / 495 around DC at about 5:30 - 6:00. Thinking about coming in from the back side to avoid some of the headaches. Any thoughts?

We are going in on Thursday but there will be some traffic on Friday. No matter when you go through that area of I-95 there will be traffic! Hope you can make it!

That's the exact way we were thinking of going. According to Map Quest, it's only 6 min. longer. It just might be less headaches. We take 32 south every time we head to O.C. Md.

Thanks

Just want to remind everyone about our "Heartland gives back" initiative for this rally--FISH of Howard County. They accept donations of non-perishable food items as well as monetary donations. And remember all donations are tax deductible with 97% of your donation going directly to those in need. The remaining 3% pays for telephone service, printing, postage and other miscellaneous expenses. I feel this organization is truly worthy of our support, so I would ask everyone attending to consider supporting FISH in some small way. Thanks.

There are still sites available for anyone wanting to attend. See ya all soon.
