I have a little list of other interesting places.  I hadn realized til now
though that the group would be here pretty much on Thursday.

Humm!

356 Dodge Drive, VB 23452.  Dindt catch your hotel but easiest way is I-264
or VB BLVD (R-58) to Rosemont then down it to Silina, left on Silina to Dodge
(just past Dillon) and left on Dodge.  We are on the right in the first
block.  GPS or mapquest may route you through all the little streets from
Rosemont to Dodge but you'll be at a stop sign just about every turn.  Faster
and easier to take Silina.

Good plan!

Gonna have to think about it!  Maybe due to vagaries of schedules we just have
nibbles here?  It would be a little awkward with different arrival times to
work out a really firm schedule.  Pretty sure Dale and Gail get here Thursday
and Mloo is unsure if he arrives with them or not last post.

Might be the perfect time for live bluecrab boil?

Snicker, not tex-mex at all.  Scratching head, I don't think they serve them.
