Good for you! What time of year?  These have become almost unicorns. Did you see any other available dates?
Next summer:) I did see some scattered dates.

Lol. Picking up a minivan in the area and driving back. Making a Chol Hamoed trip out of it. Could have shipped it, but decided this was going to be more fun.

If someone has any ideas of what to do or where to stay (would prefer a nice Marriott with a pool or something for the kids) on the way back, would appreciate insight. :)

Was thinking of stopping over in Baltimore otw back as that cuts the trip in half and has kosher.
