Wicked



So I'll start from the beginning of our trip, and work forwards as far as the blog posting goes. Matt, Lexi, and I braved the snow on Monday, and drove to St George. On Tuesday morning, my mom, 2 sisters, and I drove to LA to see Wicked. If you haven't seen Wicked, it is worth the drive, although it's leaving LA in January. (if you've never heard of Wicked...I don't even know what to say to you!)...anyway, with the crazy traffic and the accident we ran into in Barstow, it took us about 8 hours to get there. We made it to my in-laws with a couple of hours to spare, and were able to have a nice visit. After each and every one of us rated Bruce as the greatest father-in-law of all time (he hooked us up with the tickets) we headed on down to the Pantages Theater. The play was every bit as good as I remembered it and everyone had a SPLENDID WONDERFULLY AWESOME time! Both my sisters had those exact smiles on their faces through most of the show. My mom also wore her very own cape in honor of the Wicked Witch, this picture doesn't really do it justice though. After the show we headed back on home, but couldn't make it a whole lot further than Victorville. We rolled into bed around 2, and after a short night of musical dreams, we hopped back into the car at 7 to get my sisters home to work by noon. It was crazy, and we were all seriously wipped out when we got back, but everyone was still glad we went, and the truth is, I would do it all again tomorrow if I had the tickets and time!
