You could grab a ride with anyone coming from the NJ/Philly/Baltimore area. Drive down. Stay the night. Get dropped off at BWI the next morning.

The whole top floor of the building is a party suite with a kitchen, pool table, dining room, that would seat 14+, living room, and all the other ameneties like audio and tv. It also has an awesome view of DC and all the monuments.
I don't think it cost anything to rent and even if it did we could probably get a break on the price. The property manager of the building is also a good friend of ours. She already lets me park in the building during the week for free even though I don't live there. I work right across the street.
Being right in the middle of Arlington also makes it within walking distance of dozens of bars, restraunts, clubs etc. The area is quickly becoming the Georgetown on the VA side of the river. It's also literally right on top of the Metro which runs till like 2AM on weekends.
Thoughts?? I could get some photos of the space and post em up here if you'd like.
Only thing though is we would have to stock it with whatever necessaties we'd want. Minor detail.

I don't see why people who are interested couldn't go there earlier in the afternoon, then we could meet elsewhere in the evening...? I'd be up for making the drive to B'more. I could get some of those promised pics of your kiddos in at the aquarium. It's only ~1.5 hours from me....

the wife and i are aquarium aficianados and the kiddo loves em too....is anyone considering that possibility?My son and I did something really cool this summer. They have a program there called 'Sleeping with the Sharks' that we attended with about 15 kids from his scout troop. We went in after they closed for the day, got a behind the scenes tour of what goes on, then spent the night in the shark tank. Well, not IN the tank but on the floor in sleeping bags. We had the run of the place to ourselves. It was really cool.
The next moring we woke up and went back to the dolphin wing and watched them start their day. I'd love to join you all if your planning a visit. Kids too of course.

But seriously, there's some good stuff around. Since you'll have the kids, maybe something like Cheesecake Factory? There's an ESPN Zone, too - don't know if they're old enough to get any enjoyment out of that?
