Dilemma dilemma

[nwhiker]

I have Perry and Linnea's rowing schedules for Spring.

The women's team is not going to WIRAs, which are in Sacramento.

Perry's last collegiate regatta will be ACRAs, in Oak Ridge, TN.

I'm half tempted to go to TN to see that.

Cons:
It'll be hot
It's a red state. I don't like giving them tourism money.
It isn't far from the place in IL where dh's biological family live, so he may want to go see them (I doubt it, but...)
Who the fuck puts a major event like that in the middle of fucking nowhere, far from every single "major" airport, if anything in fucking TN can be called "major", airport-wise.

Pros
Perry's last collegiate regatta
Great Smoky Mountain NP. Of course the NP is on the opposite end of the state from the regatta, sigh.

Holy hell. Just checked hotels. The prices are ridiculous, and they have an astronomical tax rate.
Nuclear history stuff

Dunno. We shall see.
