For her birthday, we had decided to take her down to Hollywood to see Wicked on Friday night. We had gone in February and LOVED it and knew she would love it too, and we were all very excited to go.
We had a wonderful evening on Friday. First we went and ate WAY too much yummy food at Bubba Gump's at the Universal Studios Citywalk. Then we headed over to the Pantages, which is an amazing old art deco theater right on Hollywood Blvd and Vine. Here is a cool pic of the inside (which, sadly enough, I did not take):
The show was AMAZING (as we knew it would be). For any of you out there that ever have a chance to see it, you should take it. It truly is one of the best musicals I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). Our seats were pretty good too -- row G off to stage left, and they got better after intermission when we took possession of some seats even closer to the center. Awesome!!
After the show, we had decided to stay over in Los Angeles so we could go to the temple for a session on Saturday. We had a very lovely hotel in West Hollywood. In fact, it was so lovely that we had a bit of a lazy morning on Saturday and ended up, once we found some yummy breakfast in Brentwood, not even being able to attend a session. Turns out, the last session on Saturday was at 11:30 and we missed it. While a little disappointing, none of us were sad, because the whole point had been just to spend some time together and we enjoyed every minute of it.
It was a great little mini-vacation and we loved it.
Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!!
