@laborofdisbelief Thank you!! Nice to know you've done the same and had it go ok

@belljackson Aww thanks for this! So helpful to hear about your experience! ETA: this milk stork thing is amazing!!

@mr_banjo My husband can't go because he has a new job and also we have a toddler who I think would not do well in a hotel for 3 days. Plus that's 3 plane tickets.
