Uhm, I know approximately less than jack shit about where anything is in DC so someone who actually knows it will have to do all the planning. I just wanted to know if anyone was interested but I can't do any of the legwork. Any takers? Anyone? If not, I understand. We can scrap it. OK. I can do it. Does anyone else want to go on a delightful excursion to our nation's capitol?

If I could at one point afford it, I would say yes.

Well, I'm in Maryland and I'm likely not going anywhere, so I'm definitely up for it. And I can take Clover with me kicking and screaming against his will if necessary unless he's working.

Hey, I'm taking the day off. Clover can do the same.
@ RH, I have a car with more than one seat.

If we have a concrete day set, then yeah, he could do. Whether or not he WILL is an entirely different matter all together.

So you could shuttle me around like the parasite I am? Awesome.

Is there a date for this DC meet? Unlike everyone else I've run into, I never took a school field trip there... I feel all left out.
ETA: I'd have to show up by train, but I could afford it provided it's on a weekend so I don't have to miss any school.

I've no idea. I suggested spring because the weather wouldn't suck, plus the cherry blossoms might be in bloom (going during the Cherry Blossom Festival is a bad idea, though, the entire Mall is a zoo!), but really it's been downright balmy here for a while so... yeah. You'll have to bring it up with Rookie.
(PS: I live in Maryland, a Metro-ride away from Washington, and I never went to DC on a field trip either. So don't feel left out.)

Well just as long as it isn't anytime March 7-13, because I plan to be in Utah. Again. So yeah...

People go to DC on field trips? I'm used to going to schools that have to have referendums to raise taxes so they don't have to cut cafeteria lunches (there was Fermilab one time. Oh, and the Rialto about a dozen different times. It really loses its effect the sixth time or so.)

People go to other states on field trips a lot. When I was thirteen in the eighth grade, they took us to New York City. We went up the Twin Towers--this was in April of 2001. I was too freaked out to look out the windows, though.

I've been on a school trip to another country before. If I had taken the right subjects I could have gone to Belgium, Germany, France, Canada and Nepal with my lernbocks. As it is, I only got to go to Belgium and London.
London is less impressive when you realise that I live close enough to smell the East-End.

Yes, but travelling to other countries in Europe is like going to other states here, so less impressed.

Yeah, seriously. The same plane-journey that would take Sanda from, say, London to Brussels is less than the one that would take me from here to Long Island.
Oh you Europeans and your dinky little countries.

Hey, hey. Don't bully us just because we don't need to compensate for anything.
Yes, I am willing to sink that low.
