WICKED

My family was just in town this past week and while we got to do a lot of fun things (beach, little italy, museums, eat yummy food, parks, etc.) I think the highlight was seeing Wicked the very last night they were here. oh and did I mention my sister and I got to sit on the very FIRST ROW, FRONT AND CENTER??? Ya sort of an interesting story of how we got them (but not that interesting to put on this post) and let's just say it was quite an amazing experience. I had seen Wicked before in London but definitely not that close and my sister has never seen it. Ever since my family made plans to come out here to visit me, my sister has been talking about how excited she was to go see Wicked. So when the night finally came and we luckily scored those tickets, I felt as if her dream was coming true. It was like a child going to Disneyland for the first time- the girl was beaming all night. Let's get real- we both were. I already loved the show and the music, but seeing it front row was a whole new experience. It was as if they were giving my sister and I a private showing... on Christmas morning. Needless to say it was a memorable experience and magical night.

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." -Roald Dahl

We watched with glittering eyes.
