Please put Dave and I down for Hillwood and dinner

For those of you who have "done" all the DC museums, the Neuseum was really interesting.

Perhaps I should also mention I'm interested in the Hillwood Museum. Thanks.

I am in for this.. I am assuming I will still be a local by then, but if not, I will be up for this weekend.

Hmmm, Sounds I haven't seen you in too long. Pretty impressive if both you and Tazi can pull this off!

Please put me down as a strong maybe -- I don't currently have plans for that weekend, but it's so far out that something may come up. So no/yes/no. ^

As I am the social secretary of the household, I am signing up myself and Cholula as possibles for this Do.

We are "yes" for Hillwood, and "no" for both local and the car.

Looking forward to it.

To clarify, I'm not interested in the Hillwood tour.

Note to GoingAway.

Please change our Hillwood status from "No" to "Yes."

Thank you.

This is really shaping up as a great weekend and will change our typical weekend non-work activities from stuff like shopping at Tysons or Leesburg Corner to actually going out and seeing some of the real local stuff.

We are even planning a Friday excursion to the Holocaust Museum (I am almost ashamed to say that I have never been there in our dozens of visits to the area).

I strongly recommend the Holocaust Museum to anyone who has not visited it before. Visit their website and request timed tickets in advance, or take your chances by going that morning and seeing what tickets they still have to distribute.

I visited the Holocaust Museum a number of times when it first opened, but had to stop and sent my visitors on their own as I felt I was taking away some of their experience as it didn't have that initial impact on me that I knew it should on them.

I don't know if we missed something but we were able to buy tickets to the Permanent Exhibition - The Holocaust for Friday afternoon at 230 for $1 per person.

Is there something else that we were supposed to do or some other tickets to buy that we would need in order to see the whole thing?
