Dad's Business Trip

This week is Eric's first business trip! Well, technically the trip he took to Las Vegas last week was his first, but we are counting this one since Las Vegas was a last minute, quick trip.

Both Eric and I have been so excited about this since he is in one of our favorite cities - Chicago! Having just been there in July with Lyndsy I must admit that I was a little jealous to have him go back there. Still, the excitement of Eric getting to have such a life changing experience outweighs even my petty jealously.

So far he is having a wonderful time! He is staying at the downtown Sheraton - he got a little time off and spent it at the Art Institute! Now his coworkers are in town and the convention is off to a great start!

Every day Eric has sent pictures from his trip to give me a quick update since we haven't been able to connect by phone each day.

I'll update this post every time I get a new picture - but here is his first business trip as told by his pictures:

Eric with the boys at the airport on his way out of town:

(this is why I love LGB Airport):










Eric's plane - we love JetBlue!
And it's so fitting to be Bond-ish!

Yum! Dinner at Sushi Samba.
(He doesn't get this kind of food at home!)










Dang - isn't he the cutest?! All
dressed up for the convention start on 10/24!










Woot woot! Wilden power
is in the hiz-ouse!










More to come in the next few days! The trip ends on Sunday!
