I would love to be able to make it to that show as well as all the others. It's really a matter of logistics. I am able to pull off the MKE show because it happens during a very brief "lull" in my duties to my main forecasting job. We also are able to make a mini-family trip out of it and have Nora and Gracie spend the whole time with Grandma, while I am able to spend some time there and the rest at the show.
Novi is actually about 4-5 hours further away than MKE, so more expensive to get to and I would need to pay for my own lodging as well and I would also need to take time off from work to pull it off. So much more complicated and expensive for me.
Maybe some day things will change.
