Andy and I went to Chicago for the Annual Sons of Ivy Take over Wrigley event! This year was held at Phil's house. Again it was a blast meeting up with people Andy has come to know as family! Sometimes I think he should have married these guys instead of me...but anyways...
We dropped the kids off at my parent's around 9am after battling ANTS at our house! We were going to drop them off at 8am. Oh well...we then dropped Otto off my Dan and we were off. The drive there was like all others and we were happy to be IN when we got there. We decided to try to find me some capri type pants as the ones I had on decided to attack me on the way. We searched high and low at a sports store and were unable to find anything very flattering for a pregnant woman.
SO...I went with shorts that I had packed. I wanted to cover my ugly vericose leg! YUCK! So we got a Cubbie T-shirt and were on the way to the hotel.
We stopped at Days Inn downtown Chicago to have the woman at the front desk tell us we were at the WRONG hotel. HA! Back into the car we got and drove to Lincoln Hills Inn,what a dive!! (sigh) Our room was a crackerjack box
and the bed was a FULL size. OH MY! HOW IN THE HELL are we going to fit in that thing. We turned the air on full blast and left with the bed taunting us as we left!
Then we tried to make it out of Chicago quickly...which didn't happen as everyone else and their uncle was leaving town too! It took us forever and we were late for the party. No biggie really...just annoying!
We got to Phil's house and everyone was very nice. They picked on Andy a bit about knocking me up AGAIN and then Andy was gone into Cubs land. lol Thank goodness there were lots of nice women there to keep me company. While the boys shot the shit we sat around and talked kids, husbands, and as much NON CUBS related things we could think of! :)
After staying way past my bedtime we headed back into town. One of the guys from the board Koz was nice enough to let me follow him as I had to drive Andy's drunk ass back into Chicago. I AM NOT A CITY DRIVER!! But I did pretty darn good! :)
Then back at the hotel we found out that the air conditioner doesn't cool very well and it was warm in our room. PERFECT! We both crawled in to the bed and our butts were touching! LOL Needless to say Andy ended up sleeping on the floor. I hated the idea but he wanted his pregnant wife to get some sleep. I think he just didn't want to be butt to butt all night long! :)We got up early and got the hell out of there and traveled around Wrigley Field a bit! Then we headed home!
