thanks for the tip!! i've got that written down so i don't forget

OP, I'd go with the place in Columbia, especially if it has good reviews.
ok, then homewood suites in columbia is the winner!
thanks so much ladies, i've tweaked the agenda and decided that we'll drive from the beach to columbia that saturday morning and spend the day at their pool till it's time to head to the 4:30p Medieval Times show. afterward they can spend more time in the pool before bed. EARLY sunday we'll drive to DC and park at the Reagan Bldg and see some sights and do a bus tour of Arlington Cemetary. if there's time (which i'm doubting) we'll pop into the Natural History museum to see the dinos the homeward bound!
Medieval Times Q: how far in advance do i need to get the tickets? it's at the end of june, do i need to get them now??? can i wait till next month?
