A little Secret.

I've mentioned this a couple of times on the blog before, but my little fam dam { Andrew, Elli belly, and yours truly} are currently on our way to Chicago or in Chicago {depending on when this is being read} for a little family trip.

The trip will consist of the Chicago Zoo. The aquarium. Adult beverages. Swimming madness. Seeing close friends and family. And.......

A blogger. A dear dear fellow blogger friend of mine, Jody.

And we aren't just meeting for the first time in the same city. We aren't just going to the Zoo and the Aquarium with our kiddos. We aren't just going out Friday night, adults only no kids allowed. But we are also staying at the same hotel.

Not only that... but our rooms are next to one another.

And the kicker... they are attached.

Now. Picture me breaking this sort of news to my husband. The person that may very well be the biggest skeptic of blogging and the internets. The I-think-it-is-weird-that-you-have-internet-friends skeptic. Him.

And trying to get him to go on this trip was hard enough, but sharing with him the further details was even more entertaining. Here is what our conversation looked like back in October when we planned this trip.
-------------------

Becky: Andrew, we are going on a mini-vacation to Chicago.

Andrew: Awesome.

Becky: And we are going to meet up with my bloggy friend and her husband and daughter.

Andrew: Can we we say we did and not?

Becky: Noooo, we are going to and you will love it.

Andrew: Love is a pretty strong word.

Months later....

Becky: You excited about the trip honey

Andrew: About as excited as I am about changing diapers.

A month before the trip

Becky: The hotel is booked.

Andrew: Where are we staying?

Becky.... blah blah blah..... and Jody and them are staying at the same hotel

Andrew: Hold on. WHAT? Who does that? What if we don't like these people?

Becky: We will. Trust me.

Andrew: You don't know that

Becky: I know everything.

Andrew: I know.

Becky: Oh, and by the way, our rooms are next to one another

Andrew: What do you mean. Like 201 and 202?

Becky: Why yes, that is exactly what I mean

Andrew: Great. What have you gotten us into...

A week before the trip

Becky: By the way, just found out our rooms are adjoined rooms.

Andrew: Now this just gets better and better. What's next? You're going to tell me we are sharing one large family bed.

Becky: Why yes, I was just getting to that.

-----------------

Little does he know how amazing these next 4 days are going to be. And I'm convinced Andrew and Andy {see meant to be already} will form a bromance and we won't be able to keep the two away from one another. I'll put money on it.

So off I go with my skeptic husband and crazy toddler to experience the amazing things that Chicago has to offer, form a friendship to last a lifetime, and take a ridiculous  amount of pictures.

I'll try to update throughout the weekend on twitter.

And if we go missing? You all know who did it. :)
