I voted for Virginia Beach, VA...and preferably when the weather is warmer, please. I'd like to actually enjoy the beach while I'm there! Late April, May, or June would be good, IMO. Just a suggestion.
mbcasey: Inner Harbor...I have a friend who could pile in 15 people in his house if they bring sleeping bags...lol. He lives in Timonium right off I-83.
Well heck, it's free...
Maybe do some crabbing while there. My friend and I are old weekend warrior crabbers.
Nice of you to volunteer to fill his house to capacity and beyond, Ken! If we go there, put me on the list as one of the 15, please. It'll save me the hotel fare if I'm traveling that far, at least.

sweetowen: I've heard Fells Point is great. Believe it or not, I've never been to Inner Harbor! My aunt & uncle even lived just outside of it in Cockeysville.
My friend lives just south in Timonium. Cockeysville is about a 30 minute drive to downtown Baltimore.
Fells Point on a Saturday night is really crazy. You see a little bit of everything...
Thank goodness Johns Hopkins Hospital is a block away!

Johns Hopkins reminds me of the time I got lost, driving myself & my daughter to Ocean City, MD. I ended up in the SLUMS of Baltimore & pulled into a McDonald's to ask for directions. This older gentleman was coming out. I asked him how to get to OC from there. He said I could take 695 to 95 & go over the bridge in Annapolis. I said, "Ooohhh, I don't like big bridges!" So he said, "Well, it's either that or the tunnel." I opted for the bridge. He offered to lead me out of town, to the highway. I said I just needed to use the ladies room real quick & I'd be ready. Then he said, "You'll need one of these" & pulled some tokens out of his pocket. I said, "You need to PAY to go to the bathroom??" He told me no, they were to keep the drug dealers out.
Then, he barrelled through Baltimore, past the hospital. I could barely keep up!! We ended up having about 7 bridges to cross! I was a total MESS til we got there. I quickly mixed myself a STRONG drink before my daughter & I went to the boardwalk. Felt much better too.

What an ordeal! I bet you hated to cross over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge...that is a long tall scary one! And they have the water drainage grates in the middle of the lane so you can see all the way down to the water.
They have something called a bridge walk. I would love to do it but I am afraid of heights!

The OC boardwalk is so cool...so much to do.
I keep hearing how cool the OC nightlife is, but have never stepped foot into one of the bars there. When I went down with my friends over Senior Week, I was too young (age limit was 18 & I & another girl were only 17). Then when I was of age, I had my daughter.
