Csrush, wish you could make it - too bad.
Once we get a firm idea of what we are going to do, I will get some sort of signup going.
Any other ideas? When are you guys getting in on Sunday?Jordan Jacobs | VP, Products|SingleHop| JJ @SingleHop.com

Not sure about the heading back early Jordan. Is your pace dropping with age?

Sunday will be the first hang-over day I'm afraid, but at night there should be some drinks possible again - why not take some of the hotel bars? We are staying in the The Westin National HarborLeading Webhosting Email Security Solutions, Incoming & Outgoing Filtering + Email Archiving!

I think you have three main choices - (A) The National Harbor complex that the Gaylord is in has couple of restaurants (http://www.nationalharbor.com/); (B) Take the hourly shuttle bus (or a car if you have one) into downtown DC or (C) take the boat across the river into Old Town Alexandria (http://visitalexandriava.com/). B should take 25-30min and C should take 20 min (approx.)
If you are driving, be careful about drinking as the DC cops are tough.
Alexandria is the historic old port city just across the river and has a lot of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the dock. DC obviously has tons of options.
Try zagat.com or opentable.com for specifics.

Loving the enthusiasm and random suggestions guys!!
Now, let's get down to business. Old harbor, boat trip, etc, sounds all great but slightly more complex to organize with a crowd, same for going downtown DC.
I checked the Gaylord convention center website and found a good option to start the night off with a quick bite and a get-together:
"National Pastime's cutting-edge sports-bar environment artfully blends contemporary design with sports memorabilia, fusing ageless character with charm from decades past. Curved banquets... custom sofas... individual lounge chairs... and dozens of flat screens throughout the sports bar and grill to ensure you never miss a play."
What do you think, meet up there around 18.00 (6 pm), go for a snack, possibly a few beers.. from there we can see how the night develops??

That may work, I am thinking of bar hopping, maybe hitting 5-10 bars and check out what DC has to offer so we can pick where to hang out at the rest of the nights
