February 23, 2008 is the big day!
The National Air & Space Museum has a huge Indoor display located near Dulles Airport in Chantilly, VA. All are invited to a Winter meet for Northern VA Titans! Great family event. Good weather or not, we will be there, unless it is a real blizzard.
Details will be updated in the next few weeks. Basically, we plan to have 3 parts to the event, a breakfast meet, day at the museum, and a closing dinner nearby. I plan to come down the evening before, to be able to enjoy the entire day to its fullest. Several local Titans are already committed to this event. Set your expectations high!
It may be Winter, but wash your trucks, everybodies gonna want to see what you brought...
Here is the link so you can see what they have to offer and to see at the Air & Space Museum.

First few details:
Breakfast meet from 7-9. Location TBD.
Museum meet from 10-530.
It is home of the "Enterprise". the real Space Shuttle and the huge Star Trek Movie Model too!
The Museum is Free. Parking is $12.
Carpooling will be available if you wish. Take care of your Titan buddies. Squeeze em in. Save your money for modding!
Museum Hours 10-5:30
I have submitted for a guided tour by a "docent" at 10:30 or 11:00 AM. (It's a free option of course. 20 person minimum)
Great to hang out together for first hour or so, then do lunch,
Food onsite is a McDonalds.
Kids will love it, and they do have good salads now!
Prices should be about normal.
Afterwards, plenty of time to check out:
The Observation tower,
IMax theater,
Lots of Aircraft and Spacecraft,
The Bookstore and Giftshop,
The Flight Simulator and more...
Dinner Meet 6-9.
We're going to need a really big table. Location TBD.
Hotel Information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've booked my family into the following. It is less than 8 miles from the Museum, and had the lowest Room Rate by far. Many other Hotels are nearby starting about 25% higher. This is the normal "Internet Users Rate". No group reservation made, so reserve asap. Thank you for your support and interest in this Meet. It's looking to be a great turnout.
