I am on Long Island, so while a 5 hour drive to the DC area is doable for a weekend event like CAF, it isnt really a practical drive for a day trip, but thanks for the offer.
Keeping my fingers crossed that CAF will be a practical reality this year and we can all meet up there.
BTW, for anyone who is interested in this years CAF, the Rockville Hilton is taking reservation right now for that weekend with room rates that are cheaper than the show special rates from last year. And you can cancel the reservations up until, two days before you arrive, so there is no risk if the show does go down as planned. Ive got my room reserved just in case and I know a few other ANers who have done the same.
Like the Boy Scouts say, Be Prepared.
