And where you go we'll follow.

So, we took a road trip/bus trip/crazy trip to Chicago. On July 6, we embarked on our first ever Roaddron, with none other than the Cauldron, for the Sporting KC vs. Chicago Fire game. And boy, oh boy, it did not disappoint.

This was, essentially, our schedule:

Saturday - 8 AM: Depart for Chicago
6 PM: Arrive in Chicago
All night: explore the city, drink all the beers, sleep

Sunday, 10 AM: Leave for the game
11 AM: Arrive at stadium. Is that a minimum-security prison? NOPE, just Toyota Park.
11:10 AM: Tailgate while everyone gets sunburnt because hello, sun.
2 PM: Get escorted by security in to the stadium, where we proceed to sweat our faces off.
5 PM: WIN
(Monday) 3 AM: Arrive back in the motherland

There are literally so many things I could say about this trip, but really, I just can't describe how amazing it was. Traveling to see our team put out the Fire...there's nothing like it.


Snickerdoodles for the road, because c'mon.


This would be Jimmy John's, delivering a crap ton of sandwiches to us on the shoulder of an on ramp. Yep.


I will say, I have missed the gratuitous bean photo ops.


Down by the river.


Oooooh baby, I love that boy.


BAM. Chicago.


Oh so sexy.


I title this "We're coming for YOU, Chicago."


The part where my husband said, and I quote, "I'm a salty sailor baby." I die.


Just some proof that our stadium is better.

And in case you were wondering about the title of this post, there's a cheer that goes as such:
We love ya / We love ya / We love ya /
And where you go we'll follow / we'll follow / we'll follow /
'Cause we support the Wizards / the Wizards / the Wizards /
And that's the way we like it / we like it / we like it /
Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh / Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh / Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh / Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
