OK - here I go. I'm writing down my goal to make the DC trip next year. :) I figure if I don't write it out somewhere, I won't do it. If I aim high & don't make it, I'll at least know that I tried. So, here is what I have to do to make it happen.

Become a director (my goal for that is March 1, more likely May 1).
Retain my Show average of $530.
Hold 7.5 shows per month.
Recruit & qualify 11.

That will give me & my family an incredible family vacation in June '08.

There, I did it. Now, I just have to make it happen! :)
 
You will love DC

My son and I went there back about 1998. We live about 140 miles away from DC and that was my first visit to sight see. I was there about 1986 to visit the DC Zoo on a bus tour with my son

But DC is beautiful. Just make sure you have good shoes on. Also make sure you plan enough time to see the smith. in. (sorry not sure how to spell it). there are so many buildings to go see and it was fun seeing Archie Bunkers chair, The Fonz jacket, the old cars, planes and soooooooo much more.

You will have a wonderful time. But remember where good walking shoes.

We went the summer of "01 took our 4 kids I earned a gift travel certificate so we spent the 4th of July in Williamsburg. then went to DC for 7 days. Didn't see it all. It was my 3rd visit so I knew what I wanted them to see!!
Take plenty of film I ALWAYS start a trip with 24 rolls of film and usually buy more!
Definately, see the ceremony at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldier. i tis the most touching thing I've ever seen in my life.
 
sorry we only have 3 kids still dark in my office!!

Your so funny!

I am dying to go to DC. I might have to buckle down and shoot for a goal.
 
Lived there for 10 years - so I am shooting for the cruise..but you will love it. Good Walking shoes, stay together, its get VERY humid in the summer. The museums are awesome - especially the Air and Soace Museum. The Holocaust too - but you need "tickets" (free) to get in due to the popularity but maybe PC will take care of that???? Bring tissues for that one. Also do the tour of Arlington Cemetary. There is a $10 trolley ride that takes you thru Arlington and past the major attractions. Totally worth it. White House is long wait to get in....I dont know atoub that one, again PC may take care of that too!!!
 
We were able to do the white house tour not really very long wait when we were there.
We did a bus tour at dusk Incredible..... worth the $$$$
