    I agree (about the Redskins).
    I can meet at FoW at 11 a.m. on Saturday.
    I probably need to head for home around 2 p.m.

    If you'd like to consider an alternative meeting place to FoW, there is a new shopping center with a Starbucks in it about 10 minutes west on Route 7 from FoW. It is the Landsdowne Town Center, one block north of Route 7 on Belmont Ridge Road.
    There is a large parking lot and a small lake/pond 2 blocks south of Starbucks for some car picture taking.
    Street address of the new Starbucks is 19353 Promenade Dr, Leesburg,VA 20176.
    Mapquest link is here:
    http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=19353+Promenade+Dr&city=&state=&zipcode=20176

    Nothing wrong with meeting up at FoW, but just thought I'd throw out an alternative (that has plenty of parking and hot coffee while we wait for everyone to show).

    That is perfect for me, I don't know the area too well, so are there some good places for a photoshoot around?

    Sounds good.
    See you (and anyone else that wants to join us) at 11 a.m.

    Detailed driving instructions are:
    - Go west on Route 7 (aka "Leesburg Pike" or "Harry Byrd Hwy") to the intersection of Route 7 and Belmont Ridge Road.
    - Turn right (north) on Belmont Ridge Road.
    - Go one block north on Belmont Ridge, turn right (east) on Promenade Drive.
    - Go two small blocks east, Starbucks is on the right, on the corner of Promenade Drive and Winmeade Drive.
    - Park behind Starbucks (in the parking area to the south)

    The pond is two blocks south on Winmeade Drive.

    Here is a picture of what the Starbucks looks like there on that corner.
    And a map of Lansdowne Town Center.
