This will be the most exciting yet! I'm so happy that this event is every year, I look forward to it always. In the past, living in the suburbs, we'd usually just head downtown one day for a few hours to check out the show then head back. This year will be my third year staying in a downtown hotel for a few nights. It's so much more relaxing than driving an hour in a snowstorm to get back! We usually pick the Courtyard, our "family" choice, but this year, we've chosen the new Crowne Plaza- and I'm really looking forward to it. What are you looking forward to in this year's show? Will you also be staying downtown? ALSO, I'm starting a daily countdown until the public NAIAS opens- today we're at 89 days!
