DC trip prep...

Jamie - so very sad you will not be joining us in DC, but we are all looking forward to the trip to Colorado in February. Last week of Feb should work for us. If Aaron is still at Toyota the last week isn't always the best time to go, but February is usually a really slow month, so it shouldn't be a problem. Although, chances are he won't be at Toyota by then (fingers crossed).

For all those making the trip...
I was in DC last weekend and managed to get the low-down on the weekend plans, etc. It looks like the wedding will be formal to semi-formal, so cocktail/sun dresses are a go. For the guys - probably a tie, but a jacket is not required.
For those in town Thursday night, the guys will be going out for Joe's bachelor party. We are still working out the details, but it looks like they will be heading downtown to a comedy show, dinner and possibly a club afterwards. We should have all the details for that, including estimated costs sometime this weekend (look for it via email Julie, Kim & Liz). Us girls are on our own that night, which means girls night in? Maybe we could get take out and rent a movie on-demand in the hotel. Just an idea.
Friday is wide open for those who don't have husbands involved in the wedding, so enjoy the sites of DC. For Liz and I, Joe is taking the guys out in the afternoon (he didn't have the details yet on time/place etc), so looks like you and I are on our own. Maybe you could join me on the jaunt to BWI to pick up Steph and Shawn? Then the rehearsal dinner is at 7, which means the rehearsal will probably start sometime around 5. I think he is sending invites for the rehearsal this week or next. I'm thinking we could skip the whole rehearsal thing and go straight to dinner at 7. We have plenty of time to work out the details. Unfortunately Joe could not invite all the out-of-towners the the dinner - about 70% of the wedding guests are coming from out of town. :)
Saturday is also wide open for those not involved in the wedding. Notes for Liz and I - I think Joe said pictures will start around 2ish, but they are doing all the bride and groom pics after the ceremony. I'm guessing the guys will start getting ready around 1 or so. So I guess you would have the morning to see some sites.
Then of course, Sunday is free for all...
For those coming back to my place on Sunday. I'm anticipating that we will leave DC sometime after dinner. Julie - are you planning to stay in DC on Sunday night, or come back to PA for the night? We would definately have a room for you.

Well, guess that's it for now. I'll keep you posted as I get more info.
Can't wait to see you in 18-21 days!
