Ok, after talking this over with Mike S. here's an off the wall idea for nats. What if we jumped over to New Orleans? Now before people get their shorts in a knot let me explain. There are a few reasons I think this may be a good move.
1.)Mardi Gras is a huge week long event. If they can handle a drunken adult crowd they can handle teenagers.
2.)Because of the large crowd at Mardi Gras there is plenty of room for all of us to stay, between hotels and entire houses which are rented out.
3.)There will be plenty of things to keep us busy while we are there.
I also realize that there are many cons, alcohol being the biggest.
This is why I'm posting my idea. We both think it would be interesting to see how the pros and cons would weigh out. Try not to pummel me too badly.
