So since you have come home, we have stuck pretty close to home. We have done some day trips, but you have slept in your bed every night since we first put you into it almost a year ago. (Yes, you have been home almost a year. We have less than a month until March 4!!! Yes, for some reason in my head the year mark is a SUPER big deal.)
So, last month your Dada and I bought tickets for a Justin Roberts concert. As we talked, we realized this would be a great opportunity to have you spend the night somewhere else. (Yes, we could have stayed with family for the first time away, but then Joey would have been super sad about not getting to go. He doesn't do well away from home. This way Joey spent time at the spa and didn't have to hear about all the fun you had at some member of the fam's house without him.) Plus, we booked our vacation last month/end of December and knew we would need to practice staying away from home a couple of times. (For some reason we have airline miles. We thought we should use them.)
So back to your first mini-vacation. We went to see Justin Roberts perform at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Here's what the trip looked like.
Riding the in car to Chicago.
Yoda used the force. . .
The view from our first seats. . . We were about 6 or 7 rows back.
Waiting for the concert to begin. We rocked this.
Where we actually saw the concert. The balcony, last row, standing. You might have started screaming during the first song. You didn't like others singing with Justin. It was A LOT to take in. We moved. We did better in the last row possible.
Meeting Justin afterwards.
So on the way to the hotel, we stopped and got some books. (We needed to kill time before check-in.) After checking-in, we left for an early dinner (you hadn't napped, so we knew the window before melt-down was getting smaller.) Well, you fell asleep in the car and Mama and Dada went through Portillo's and took food back to the hotel.
One of your favorite ways to sleep.
Getting ready for the pool.
You slept the whole way home. Here we are getting back into town and you were just starting to wake-up.
Love
Mama
