It all started about a year ago when we bought our tickets. I thought it would never come, but it did and we had a great time. We had dinner at Franck's. And it was good! I recommend the meatloaf, even though the berry sauce turned my teeth blue. We didn't have time for dessert, but they looked amazing and I am planning on going back some time. That is my meatloaf in the picture, isn't it pretty?
Next was the musical and it was wonderful! I wish tickets were easier to come by and not so expensive. I would love to go again and I would love to take my kids. I think they might enjoy it too. Maybe someday.

When I was little, my parents took me to see "The Sound of Music" at Sundance or somewhere (it was outdoors). I fell in love with it then and have loved it ever since. When I was in high school, my parents took me to see "Les Miserables" in Salt Lake City at the Capitol Theater. I loved it! Kirk and I saw it together a couple of years ago and it was just as amazing as I remembered it (I still think it is my all time favorite). Kirk has also gone with me to see "The Phantom of the Opera." He is such a good sport to go to these things with me. I love him.
I guess the point is, these musicals have created such fond memories for me. I love music, a lot, it is so powerful. I love to hear beautiful voices like I did last night. Good music can really transport you anywhere. I hope to take my kids to these things someday and create some good memories. I am also grateful to my parents for taking me to these musicals. I grew up in a small town with 7 siblings and I am sure it was a sacrifice on their part. Go see "Wicked" if you get the chance and eat at Franck's too, they were both excellent.
