Our hotel is within walking distance, so we'll most likely walk over. I plan to arrive a little early in case we get lost. See everyone on Sunday! Can't wait!

Glad your hotel makes it so convenient!
Just so folks have some idea of who they're looking for (since I'm not as famous as Princess Sharon!), I'll have a black Dooney & Burke purse, with rainbow colored Mickey Mouses all over it!
The reservation is in my name - Colleen McLain.
I think we are now at 10 people? (Sharon, don't know if you're able to update the first post with the changes?)

I printed that list out, so if there are changes that would be great if it could be updated. As for what I'll be wearing, I have no clue yet, but I still look the same as what's in my sig pic, so I'll be easy to spot. Can't wait to meet everyone!

I updated the first post! I don't know how much I'll be on the boards before Sunday (we're leaving tomorrow), so I'll see you all soon!

So sorry, but I am going to have to drop out of this one. My DM was going with me, but my DSF has cancer again and is up the road today having a bronchoscopy/biopsy which may not go so great (he is 73 and has COPD/Emphysema) so I need to be around this weekend. Have fun and take lots of pictures for me to see.
OH I sure wish I had known about this! I REALLY need to check this area more!!! It would have been great to meet you all..... Hope you all have a great time tomorrow!!!!

So sorry you can't come! Good luck with all that's going on with your family, though. And BTW, your daughter is GORGEOUS in her prom dress!

Wish I could, but we made other plans involving all the DGKs and Mema needs to be here! (we are making Mother's Day gifts for their Moms...please send me pixies.... )
I'm home and we had such a nice time with Sharon and her mother! It was nice to meet some new to me Passporters and the restaurant was AWESOME! My phone died, so I did not get photos. Sharon did and Colleen did too.
Brunch was great! It was a treat to meet Sharon and her mom, and a bonus to meet Joan W, and Rosanna and her daughter, Peyton.
We were sorry that Melissa and her mom had to cancel due to an ER trip, and hoping that Hope is feeling better!
Also sorry Eileen didn't end up being able to make it. Maybe another time!
So, if I do say so myself, the restaurant was EXCELLENT! For anyone in the DC area, I highly recommend CoCo Sala, on F Street NW. Not sure how other meals are, but brunch is YUMMY! See for yourselves -
We all got the 3 course brunch (because we had to, being a party of 6 or more).
It began with:
We agreed it was like a more delicious chocolate Munchkin, with warm chocolate ganache in the middle, some kind of an orange sauce, and chopped pecans. MMMMMM!
We had 4 different entrees between the 6 of us (there were 2 pairs of matches).
First, the breakfast flatbread:
Described as: cheddar hash browns / chicken sausage / scrambled eggs / crispy bacon / roasted tomato / hollandaise sauce / pesto flatbread
Next, hotcakes:
citrus ricotta pancakes / white chocolate lemon cream / berry compote / caramel passion fruit sauce
This was my dish, and it was phenomenal! Very light, thanks to the ricotta.
French toast:
cinnamon brioche stuffed with house-made marshmallow, dark chocolate, & graham shortbread /warm banana compote/ milk chocolate mousse
We all had some kind of cocoa to drink: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, salted caramel and chipotle (there were a few other options, but these were the ones we chose).
And desserts:
STOLEN HEART: white chocolate & raspberry mousse with chocolate crispy pearls

First of all, I just want to say how extremely sad we were that we weren't able to join all of you yesterday. At 6am, I heard Hope crying in her bedroom, so Chad went in thinking she was having a nightmare, but she said she had a boo boo on her neck, and Chad thought she was just out of it so he told her to go back to sleep...which she did. Around 7am, she actually came into our room crying and holding her neck, and when I went to pick her up to put her in bed with me, she gave this horrible scream. I've honestly never seen her like that before. Every time I tried to move her she'd make that scream. So I called my mom, who came over, and when we realized that everytime she moved her neck, she'd cry hysterically or make that horrible screaming sound, we knew we had to take her to the ER.
They said she has Cervical Dystonia, which is basically a stiff neck but with muscle spasms or shooting pains. She says she fell out of bed, but I know if that had happened then she would have called me into her room. I think she might have slept on it the wrong way, or jarred it while playing at her birthday party the night before. She hardly moved all day, but by late afternoon I was able to get her moving around, and this morning she said it only hurts a little bit, so she's doing much much better.
It looks like all of you had a fabulous time and the food looked fantastic. To say that I'm bummed is an understatement, but I'm sure there will be another time in the future where we will all get to meet each other again.
