Yesterday I really started to wonder if going to Chicago this summer
was possible. Why do I want to go to Chicago? This is the reason:
The last two years I sat at my computer watching as bloggers from
all over documented their fun at the BlogHer convention. The first year
I had just given birth and was a newbie at blogging myself. Last year I
wanted to go, but traveling all the way to San Francisco was not very
practical. Chicago is a completely different story. Not only are there
a lot of flights that way, but driving could be possible.
While out yesterday, I mentioned to hubby that I really wanted to
try to go. I looked at flights. Of course booking this far out showed
$400 options, which is insane! Then I thought about making it a family
destination. I looked and sure enough there is a Six Flags in Chicago
and we have those season passes that are good there!
Hmmm. . . .
It really made me think about the possibility of things to do in
Chicago and places to stop and see on the way there and back home from
BlogHer. There are SO many things that we could do, it is actually mind
boggling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. By next summer
the boys will be almost 6 and just 2.
Update: This morning hubby informed me that he was pricing things
out last night when I went to bed. He thinks that it may not be a bad
option to make this into a family trip. In fact, he was also Tweeting
about it to see if other families would be heading out to the BlogHer
destination for vacations together. So if anyone is thinking of doing
this please let me know.
This week I will be heading to AAA to pick up driving options to
Chicago from here. I have heard that it is at least a 14-18 hour drive.
We could certainly split it up and make it work with desination stops
to see new places that we have never visited.
