I want to do a DIS meet this year too.

I'm free tomorrow afternoon!!!!
Seriously, that would be super!! My daughter played travel (select) soccer for a number of years and we did the Elks tournament in Raleigh every November. I think it used to take us about 4 hours to get there. Maybe we could meet around the Richmond area? Or if you want to travel a bit further, Potomac Mills Outlet Mall is right off I-95 and they keep telling us it's the number 1 tourist attraction in Virginia!! I know the area very well, having lived near there for 12 years, although I'm about an hour from there, now.
So, is Derek into roller coasters? Volcano at KD is absolutely AWESOME!! I haven't been on the one that goes straight up and then straight down--don't plan to, either. But I will gladly be the official purse, backpack, hat and glasses holder!! I understand they've taken out my favorite coaster, Shockwave--the one you stood up on.

BG has a bunch of great coasters too--have you ridden Alpengeist, the "ski lift"??!! Whoo-hoo, what a rush!!! then, of course, there's Big Bad Wolf, Loch Ness Monster, and some other good ones!
