Howdy folks,
Thought I'd set up an OC event forus this month. Since there's no VCDL meeting and the temps will be HOT I figured what could be better than traipsing around an air-conditioned museum? And not just any museum, but The National Firearms Museum! Oh, you might be hungry afterwards? Got that covered too, vote for dinner location in the poll. If you're not on vacation we'd enjoy your fellowship!
Firearms Museum website /w directions and further info:

Themuseum is designed to be self-guided however they do sometimes provide a guide for larger groups. They areshort staffed at the museumso I informed the curator we would not need a guide andif any of us had questions about a particular exhibit we would ask questions at the conclusion of the [self-guided] tour. Cameras are allowed and encouraged, however tripods are not. They take up too much space and block access to baby strollers/wheel chairs in the exhibits.
Time: 1400 [Museum] / 1600 [Leave for dinner]
Date: 16 August
Place: NRA HQ, 11250 Waples Mill Rd, Fairfax
Did I leave anything out? Discuss below. Also, need a few more suggestions for dinner, non-seafood type places.
