Road trip?

So, would it be worth it to drive five and a half hours to attend an SCA event that is having a games tourney?  I've been tempted to attend each year since I've heard about it, but the plans just never come together.  On the plus side, it's a game tourney I don't have to run at a small event that sounds like a lot of fun.  On the down side, it's five and half hours each way.  That would mean driving down Friday night, finding a place to stay, attending the event on Saturday, and driving home on Sunday.  So a whole weekend gone, just so I can play Fox and Geese against unsuspecting strangers (ok, other games as well).

You could find something else to do in the area, mundanely; make it a semi-long weekend. Local tourist websites could be of service. VA used to have lots of fancy glass factories, and caves. Or so I remember from my youth.

Our current schedules and vacation time would keep us for extending the trip into Monday, but we could spend Sunday morning and afternoon exploring the area. Turns out it's near Charlottesville, so we've got Monticello right there, and I spotted a few wineries as well.
