Today we took the little ones to see Yo Gabba Gabba live in Chicago at the Rosemont Theatre, they loved it! We drove to chicago yesterday(friday) and stayed in a hotel so the boys were not car tired before the show. Wow what an experience this weekend has been! As we arrived at the Crowne Plaza hotel yesterday I immediately notice the fancy building and awesome lobby, I was seriously out of place in my IU sweats and car rider hair(from the long 3=hr ride) all the other patrons were dressed to the hilt and very sophisticated. This mom with her hubby and 2 toddler boys stood out, let me tell you! We got the room for a decent rate, but everything else was seriously expensive! The fine dining restaurant there was no place for our feisty boys, they would have rocked the world there, so we decided to order chinese carryout and eat in our gorgeous room (newly decorated and beautiful I might add). This hotel was by far the nicest place hubby and I have ever stayed in and our room was no exception.....I love it! My boys wasted no time at all making it theirs! They had it trashed in about 5 mins, LOL!! Poor Mr. Marcus has a cold and mucousy cough, so while eating his fried rice, he coughed, gagged and puked on the nice WHITE bed covers, of course!! And the poor thing cough all night, therefore hubby and I didn't get alot of shut eye. But....all in all the boys enjoyed themselves and even though we were a little harried, we had a good time too. The Rosemont theatre was a neat place, very fancy! Marcus and Ben really loved the show and sat there mesmerized through the whole thing (thank goodness!) After the show we loaded up and headed home, very hungry I might add. We took the wrong exit and gt completely lost in downtown chicago interstate traffic (even though hubby swears we were never lost....whatever!) after miles and miles and high dollar tolls, we finally saw signs that said Indiana this way:) YEAH!!!! Sigh! And I might add 1 hr later now EXTREMELY HUNGRY, we came across a McDonalds in the middle of the highway~very cool, you just veered off, went thru the drive thru and then merged back on....is that awesome are what??:) So with full bellies ( I thought Ben was gonna eat his foot!) we were on our way home and finally finding 65 South, woohoo!! So about 4 hrs later and Ben hollering and screaming the last 2 of those hours we made it! Its always good to get home, I guess thats way they say "home sweet home" ahhhhhh!! Jack stayed at Carson's and MiMi's so he missed the whole road trip (per his decision) I think he would have enjoyed seeing the dancing goofy characters, but nevertheless, maybe next time (even though daddy says never again, LOL) We will see about that:)
