Not South into sunshine or anything fun like that but, still....we got away for the weekend. No kids. No husbands. No worries (well, maybe except for the snowstorm that was supposed to last ALL weekend long!).
.
After a couple hours of driving we started to see signs like this one...
.
....and this one :)
.
.We arrived, ran errands, checked in, got a feel for the layout of the city and then settled into our hotel room....with more than 24 hours until the show began, we had A LOT of time to kill!
.
.
.Saturday morning we got up, drank a whole mess of coffee and then headed out in the snow and slush to walk around the city, stretch our legs and kill some time. 8pm seemed SO far away.
.
We walked down to the theater first...
.
.
.
.
.
....then had some lunch and relaxed away the afternoon in the hotel....counting the minutes until showtime!!!
.
There was a really cool WWII memorial near the hotel that I tried to get some good shots of but the snow and wind was relentless!
.
.
No picture taking in the theater or during the show so I'll I can show you is

.The show was...well... "Wicked" good!!! It surpassed all of my expectations...the singing was awesome, the set and costumes were phenomenal and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE of it!!!!

WW mentioned what a cool Sweet 16 present it would be to take VG to see this next year...my response? I'M COMIN' TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
.
Sunday morning we packed up and headed home...in the snow...what a relief it was to see this:
.
.It was good to get away....and great to be back home!

This is a busy week around here...someone has a birthday this weekend...actually TWO someones have birthdays this weekend :) My To-Do list is a mile and a half long and yesterday was a total wash on getting anything done. I'm going to try and hit the ground running this morning and get ready for BIRTHDAY weekend!!!
