Our Wicked Weekend


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.  
(Sorry Chad, your eyes were closed in both of my picutres)
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.
