I say FL, but if not, my second choice would definitely be Las Vegas, that would be an excellent area to go to.

Oh, wait... California... nevermind...

I'd like Disney World, but the only real thing I wouldn't go for would be Las Vegas...

Oconomowoc, WI!!

build a giant island in the middle of the lake!
Party at Ricky's house, it will be all good

Actually, Id like a change lets see it in Houston. Houston is almost the in the central part of the US, so airfare rates should be roughly the same for someone coming from the far east and someone coming from the far west (Im not a travel agent, I don’t check rates as of late so don’t quote me). Plus Houston is a nice city, busy, but nice. You could take trips down to Galveston Island, Johnson Space Center, Astroworld, and for the people who can't live without shopping, the Galleria (sp?) (The big mall of Houston).

You forgot the best part of having nats in Houston. We could rent out Astroworld for the team party, complete with rides and everything. Sadly, Galveston would be a bit far for a trip for the kids. It's about an hour's drive away. The Galleria is ok for entertainment, though. atleast.. there's an ice rink and restaurants in addition to shopping. Anywhos... sorry, I've gotta root for my home town.

Astroworld is the red-headed step child of the Six Flags chain.

I love amusement parks in an unhealthy manner, and Astroworld doesn't even excite me. I'd take Epcot back any day of the week.

My first choice would go with the tradition of nats in Orlando. If not there my next choice would be Washington DC, it just seems like the most FIRST friendly. Nevada would be ok but its really expensive there. I've never heard of Oconomowoc and Houston might be flooding at that time. What about Cali though, they have many amusment type sites there and places big enough to hold us i'm sure, depending on where in Cali

My only request is for a place that can hold everyone...

Why doesn't FIRST buy a island like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1768994207
and then build an enormous complex!

that'd be awesome.. only its all about $$.. money.. cash.. moolah.. whatever you call it..

Most people havent...

Its a tiny town slightly west of Milwaukee, about 12,000 people

(its a joke, cause the thread starter is from Oconomowoc)

It's no different than teams than the teams staying in orlando going to the beach for a day, its about as far and I know for a fact that many teams do that (if they dont fly back that day)

We have never done it though, we usually used up the remainder on the park hopper passes
