I figure the cruise thing is probably something you can avoid once you know the schedule. You hole up when they're tramping through town, and then you come out of your burrow when they're gone and the restaurants need business.
My wife will have an issue with the clouds and rain, but I wouldn't. I'm a shade lover and I don't mind rain.

Yeah, I lived near the Kansas Speedway, and granted it was only a few times per year, I just got used to avoiding that whole area on those weekends.... so, as long as you're not in the direct path of the hoards of tourists (or don't mind being so), they're probably easy enough to avoid.
Didn't know they had an annual dividend... an extra ~$1000/year, nice.
