A Wicked-Fun Date

7 and a half months ago, I splurged and got us tickets to see "Wicked" at the Capital Theater.  Finally, July 25th arrived and we could go!! I was soooooo excited! It's not very often we get a fancy date to the theater.

First we dropped our kiddos off at my cousin, Clisty's house in South Jordan.  They had so much fun so thanks Clisty!

Then we drove up to downtown SLC and ate dinner at Macaroni Grill.  It was quite delish!
Despite how Luke appears in the picture, he enjoyed his dinner too! Plus he got to enjoy mine again the next day for lunch! (I love restaurant left-overs!)

 The lady snapping the picture timed it perfectly to get the "Wicked" sign on the marquee. 

 26.5 weeks along!

 So as it turned out, our "splurge" for tickets was apparently not enough.  When I purchased balcony tickets I was NOT aware that row R was not somewhere in the middle. It is in fact, the back row.

Very back row, 2 seats away from the corner, big BIG man sitting up super tall a few rows down blocking my view and all other things considered............. it was still a magnificent show. I liked it far more than I even expected to.  Luke loved it too!  We definitely hope to see it again someday..... when we aren't in the seats furthest away from the stage as possible.


As a general rule I would always say that "Wickedness never is happiness,"  But this show just might be the exception! It was a VERY happy night! :)  Then to top the night off and what made the night EVEN better was getting to have a late night chit chat with my sister in law when we stayed at her house.  Thanks again for letting us stay, Val! Love you!
