Windy City - take me away

Saturday my hubby and I are headed for the Windy City. We want to catch the Pompeii exhibit at the Field Museum before it leaves. The show ends this month in order to make way for the spectacular King Tut exhibit.

The exhibit is traveling around the country for the first time in 25 years. Really a chance in a life time for most people. Accompanying the boy king are two other tombs. Very complete and apparently very impressive.

We have been trying to find a good time to go and this weekend seemed like as good as any.

Kindly our friends will be house/dog sitting for us. Bless them. Though I think R has been looking forward to some cuddle time with Sophie. Ever since we told her she likes to sleep with her head on the pillow R has been pretty excited about pup sitting.

Of course Short Bus is going to the vet for the weekend. Less stress for everyone all around. He’s a good boy but our absence tends to cost us $$$. His uncles love him to death and cater to his every whim but for some reason he just acts up when we are gone. So we have found it cheaper to board him then pay the consequences of upsetting his routine. You would think that sending him off to the vet would cause even worse behavior from him but for some unknown reason he isn’t fazed at all. We do hear from the vet that he is cuddly and super loveable so I think he gets uber attention. They tell us when we pick him up that he is one of the only friendly cats they get. That most are too upset and scared to want to play. But not our little short bus, he is quite the attention whore.
